They should have a different actor play Charlie's character in every episode. Everything should be written as normal, and the other actors should play their parts as normal, except the actor who plays Charlie would be free to interpret his part however he sees fit. Adam Sandler, Kevin Spacey, Jim Carrey, Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Ricky Gervais, Hugh Laurie, Ben Stiller...
It would be a good trivia question twenty years from now, to name all of the other actors who played his character.

I think James Spader would be a perfect fit. He can do comedy..He's the BEST at being lecherous AND he and Jon Cryer worked together in "Pretty in Pink".. (Steff & Ducky reunited) and the movie "Shorts".
Just my opinion

How about brining in Sheen's real life brother, Emilio? I know he did a guest spot once, but he would be good too
Adam Sandler could work here! Charlie moves to someplace far away to take care of the woman he finds out he knocked up, go figure, and their kid. Adam is now renting the house in L.A. Adam is friend of the family. Allen still lives in the house. Adam is rich and Allen sponges off of Adam, who also allows it.

My sister & I who love this show think that Charlie should be killed off in a blaze of hookers & alchol fueled orgy & his will leaves everything to Allen and BERTA!!! LMAO!!! Yes, Berta!!! Wouldn't it be funny to watch her as the lead??? I think so!!! They could give Herb a bigger part (Ryan Stiles is AWESOMELY FUNNY...have you ever seen The Drew Carey Show?) Then you would have 2 1/2 men...hmmm...makes one think maybe Herb divorces Judith too and moves in with Allen & Berta...there's a whole NEW dynamic and still 2 & 1/2 men!!!
How about beefing up the mom's role? Don't kill Charlie off, he may recover and come back, just send him away somewhere. Then the mom could move in with Alan and cause him even more misery than Charlie ever did. I love her.
I think he is cute and funny, so I like the idea of Rob Lowe replacing Charlie, but he never seems to stick around very long on any shows.

I have never missed an episode, if I can't be there to watch it I DVR it. Charlie Sheen is Charlie Harper and this past few weeks is proof of that.....this is his life drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornstars, and hookers. Yes it is sad, but it is what it is and as long as he goes to work makes everyone money and pays his child support who cares. Thats Hollywood!

I don't agree with the 3 choices you came up with for replacing Charlie's character. You should watch a few episodes before making a comment like that.

Danza and Grammer too old, Schneider not cool enough. Stamos seems ok but noone can really pull off Charlie Harper the way Sheen does.
@LittleAngel: I agree. I'm just going with what Lorre has said. From a strictly business point of view? Can you imagine the ratings if Sheen stuck around? It's a no-brainer.

I don't really watch Two and a half men but as far as I know, Cahrlie Sheen does his job well (acting). So I don't get why he's getting fired... Actually I think all this media craze would improve the ratings so it would be a smarter move to keep him on board

They could kill off his character then see that Charlie left his house and everything else to their long-lost cousin that they haven't seen since they were kids or something lame like that, and that character could be played by whoever they want. They take over as the leader of the house without changing the dynamic too much, Allen could still be there and feel slighted from not getting the house but makes the best of it, since he needs to stay there and is a wimp anyways. It could work...
Walden: Hey, what are you doing..? Alan: Just going down memory lane. This is a photo book Lyndsey gave me, oh look, here we are at the Santa Monica pier, "O...
