I think Aston Kutcher is a good director for those "Punked" shows but he is not a great actor or comedian. You know Gary Bryant would be an excellent replacement! Gary is witty and very funny. I'm serious!!! But I wouldn't want him to leave K-earth 101 . I have lost interest since Charlie left the show. Come back Charlie with a new show! Hey, how about a reality show called "The Sheens". With Charlie, Martin and Emilio...that would be a funny show.

Like most shows and movies, when you lose a key component of a successful show (movie) , it usually is not the same and more so, not as good. Sheen's character was big factor in this success and so is Jon Cryer's. While I liked Aston Kutcher on that "70's" show, I don't like him on this one. He can't carry half the load like Sheen. On the "70's" show he didn't have too. I see this show slowly slipping away in the very near future. However, with all these worthless reality
shows on tv (Kardasians, etc. ) it might survive.

I was very disappointed in this show. We all knew Charlie wasn't coming back and CBS had to decide how to write him out of the show. Since they chose to have him die, they should have had at least Jake be upset with his passing. I thought that part of the show was in horrible taste, and the show just kept getting worse. It would have been better if he had just left, and everyone was mad at him.
I was not impressed with Aston Kutcher as an actor - he was horrible - I could think of several other people who would have made the show a hit. Jon Cryer still was funny - but having Ashton walk around nude - gross!! He does not have a body for that!!! He isn't even attractive!!

First of all, Jon Cryer (Alan) MAKES this show and always has. In the spirt of the original I Love Lucy shows, where Desi Arnaz was actually the funny-man foil to Lucy's over-the-top antics, later ILL shows showed that her character was “too” much without the perfect “straight” man partner.
We like ALL the characters on 21/2 Men and always have, and for the most part tolerated Charlie Sheen as a necessary, sarcastic, narcissistic, disgusting, evil on the show. After eight seasons we were sick of him. With Conchata Ferrell (Berta), Holland Tayor (Evelyn Harper), and the “Judith” character to take the place of the “Sheen” acid tongue, there’s plenty of negative, but funny, energy coming at Alan from all sides.
Now we aren’t Ashton Kutcher fans either by any means, but after last night we might well become fans. What fun to watch Alan be foiled over and over by a “nice” (and somewhat pathetic) guy, hysterical! A 10 out of 10! And the parade of the guest stars didn’t hurt, either. I hope the writers find a way to keep that part up!
Overall we loved it and we hope they expand the other characters more now, too. What a refreshing change to a stale, stupid, mindless, Sheen-ranting show that 21/2 Men was becoming!
