What the hell has happened to this once masterpiece? I look at the comedy central commercials and all they do is focus on Ashton Kutchers looks. They star him half-naked as a ploy, when they should know the majority who watched this show in the first place aren't interested in that crap. It's like they're trying to cater to a bunch of 13 year old girls as a cheap gimmick. Fantastic, now we have another "TEEHEE OMG THE MAIN CHARACTER IS CUTE BUT DUMB SO NOW IT'S FUNNY!"
This show is dead to me now.

I watched the first show and I was soooo disappointed. If they aren't going to bring Charlie back then they should just leave it alone. All in all, the new show sucks. Kutcher sucks, the show isn't funny anymore. Just lame. Please take it off the air at once!! I don't even waste my time watching it. I'd rather watch re-runs of the previous seasons.

Waaaayy too much Alan. The storyline is following him too much. This man isn't funny or entertaining. If Charlie's role is old isn't Alan's role living off of other people old as well?
If he can't make a good living by buying a place in Malibu maybe he should live somewhere else or maybe...get a second job? The point is it's old & not believable.

Did Michael from That 70s Show grow up & become a millionaire? He looks like a sleezball and the opening of him singing in kinda creepy.

Does it bother anyone else that the now let you in on what Berta is thinking? This is not entertaining & quite uncomfortable.
Also anyone else look at the time to see how much of the show is left & think what the hell happened? This is truly a show about...Nothing.
really disappointed

hear hear to most of the comments. Actually, most of them are pretty well thought out and nicely articulated. Well done people! Personnally I found the episode lame, poorly written, unfunny (despite the OBVIOUS canned laughter) and essentially an uncreative excuse to keep some writers and actors employed. Cryer is fundamentally funny. But he's being dragged down by bad writing, lost "bubble" of creativity, and a very unfunny and (IMHO untalented) Kutcher. Cut your losses Chuck. Can this show, take the team and do a different show. Charlie was a besotted playboy. Kutcher is just a wandering, lost, moron. Sorry dude. Way lame.

Watched about 5 minutes of the show last night and that was enough for me. The Kutcher's characters acting is similar to his part on the 70's show. It might have worked for that show but not in this one. I would agree, either bring Charlie back or end the show. Sorry to say it is just not funny and not worth watching.

One would think that someone as intelligent as Chuck Lorre would have been smart enough to NOT put an idiot with no acting ability like Ashton Kutcher into a once-great series like "Two and a Half Men". Rob Lowe, in my mind, is the only actor with both the charisma and TALENT to replace Charlie Sheen. Lowe has the same comedic sense and timing that Sheen has and Lowe also has real talent and brains. Because he cannot act, Kutcher in this new role is the same person he was in "That 70's Show"; with a stupid personna and a general slowness. This is simply because the man had NO ability to act, no depth and no talent. Then for Lorre to try cheap tricks like having Kutcher half-naked most of the time to try to make up for his overall lack of talent is ridiculous. Chuck, do you REALLY think your audience is that stupid? Who on earth made the decision to use Kutcher??? What were you THINKING? I agree, Charlie Sheen made his bed and had to go. But Kutcher? Chuck, didn't you realize

Walden's character is ridiculously dumbed down. I don't miss Charlie's character, that was getting old and needed to change but not to this simple minded idiot.

Love Ashton Kutcher..but whoever is writing his part in this is a moron...Kutcher can be sweet and funny without acting like a mentally challenged man. Please someone rescue this show...change writers..the premise is ridiculous. Ashton should have been a strong charactor ....a playboy..and why then would he let Alan and his son move in...I don't know...figure it out...this show is going to bomb if it is left as is.

I have to say that I am very disappointed in the new show. Sometimes change is good and sometimes change is bad. This time its bad. I liked Berta's character in the old show, she is much more effective and funny. The writers have "dumbed" down the show for Kutcher and it is insulting to a person's intelligence. Charlie's humour was tongue in cheek, this humor is of the bathroom, nudity and Beavis & Butthead variety. Chuck.... bring Charlie back or lose this show. I have no interest in watching Kutcher act like a baffoon, and I am using the "acting" word very loosely. Kutcher does not have the chops for the show.If there are new writers, they need to be replaced too. The writers need to be writing for Saturday morning for kids, not for adults.

i will miss this show . this sucks. by charlie.by show
Disapointed to say the least, was expecting better from walden schmidt, replacing charlie harper a booze soaked/ womanising/ who cares character with another clone of alan harper just with added money didn't have the same kind of appeal. I know we had the threesome in episode 1 but it went back in episode 2 to a sad alan clone trying to get back with his wife. What a missed chance at the start to get alan to corrupt walden into being a character similar to charlie where you could bounce the 1 liners off of each other as alan and charlie used to do. Will watch a couple more before i decide to fully give up on this show as always has had such a great supporting cast.

what a shame!
just watched first episode without Charlie Sheen and it has lost its mojo BIG TIME> . Kutchar is a good actor, but where is the character who kinds hates everyone? The producer, whatever his name is, the guy who Sheen had a go at and then got fired,i hope that chap realises that the showwas all about CHARLIE SHEEN being CHARLIE SHEEN, not about the camera crew, the plot writers, the cast, the location.....it was about Sheen being a great character. YOU LOSE mister corporate tv producer guy. Game set match SHEEN.

Just watched the last show for us. The show sucks with Ashton. Just not the same without Charlie. Story line is in very bad taste. Gave it a chance but we just can't watch it anymore!

It is a shame, but this show sucks now because Charlie made the show and Alan, Berta, Rose,Evelyn, Judith, Herb and Jake are great, but you can't replace Charlie. Cancel the show and then the rest of the cast can join Charlie on his new show..
