Celebrity PR: Ashton Kutcher vs. Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men

News about Charlie Sheen being dropped from CBS’s Two and a Half Men was no surprise, but being replaced by Ashton Kutcher certainly was! Although a lot of people love Charlie Sheen’s character in Two and a Half Men, I was frankly getting quite bored of the same old plot line. Charlie gets drunk. Charlie meets girl. Charlie says goodbye to girl. Even if he had not verbally attacked Chuck Lorre publicly or had substance abuse problems, I think the show needed a new face. But the question is, is Ashton Kutcher a good replacement for Charlie Sheen or is this going to be a big fail?

I think Ashton Kutcher is a perfect choice for Two and a Half Men. Bored of the monotone the show had taken on prior to Sheen's departure, I am excited to see what Kutcher will bring to the table. While Sheen has recently only been himself (or Charlie Harper) on TV recently, Ashton Kutcher has played many different roles. He has played roles in romantic, comedy and action films and has shown that he can be versatile. Moreover, Ashton Kutcher already has a huge fan base, both because of his movies and because of his social networking skills. Seriously, who can hate this guy?

It has been a while since Kutcher has been a main character on a TV show. Everybody loved Kelso in That 70s Show because he could create laughter in any situation. This time around, Kutcher will play an older, more responsible character (Kelso really wouldn’t fit in with the other one and a half men, would he?) He will be playing the role of Walden Schmidt, “an internet billionaire with a broken heart.” There aren’t any other details on this new character, but I guess the suspense is what keep will have fans tuning into its new season. We do have some details on Ashton’s salary for the show: he will get paid $700,000 for each episode, making him the highest-paid TV star.

The show will premiere on September 19, 2011 on CBS. Will you be watching? (We’ve heard that Charlie Harper gets killed off during the first episode!)
