Nice to Meet You, Walden Schmidt

I loved Charlie Sheen but I like Kutcher as well. Beside the bad taste of that stupid funeral and the stupid firing of Sheen for out of the work reasons, the show has changed and it will be another show. Kutcher is nice and enough good but he can't replace Sheen in this show. Maybe this show will be anyway watchable but it is another show. Alan does not work anymore and he is the real new embarrassing problem. His acting is slow and no fake, off scene, laughing can save him. More, the half man is no more half, at least 4/5 so let's change the title too. Like "The Billionaire & the Loser" Season 1. ah ah! (I put my fake laughs too).

The problem is that now is somehow funny when Ashton is on the scene (by the way less than Sheen) but the main character now is Alan and, unbelievable, he is no more funny. Before I was thinking that John Cryer is a great actor but today I understood that he is very weak and without Sheen he is lost. Watching Charlie's house without Charlie is sad and the show, which was one of the best and funniest ever, now is a normal average comedy which needs a lot of fake, off scene, recorded laughs to stand up. This show is dead and it would be right to change the house and the title, trying to build a new show and not this hybrid mess. The 1st episode is supported by a special guest John Stamos and showing Kutcher naked but in the future? Lorre! You have to accept that you made a big mistake firing Sheen and you killed your own show for close mind reasons. I always thought you are a genius but obviously even geniuses can make enormous mistakes.More I have read a lots of comments anywhere and 90% of people want Sheen back. Sheen is the real winner again and even if he seems to me ridicule when he screams that he is a WINNER, I have to accept that he is right. Before 2&HM I did not like C.S. but he made this comedy great and I changed mind. I don't care for his style of private life and Lorre surprised me when he took out the mask showing that he is a bigot, close mind person. I was his fun, also for Big Bang Theory, but that show too is going down and I understand that he is funny only because Jim Parsons (Sheldon) is great. Let's fire him too and kill also this other show. Ah ah (going on putting fake laughs).

The episode showed clearly how Alan struggled to save the show, but ultimately the newcomer sadly portrays a bland mix between Jake and Charlie. The show is now Alan-centric, but lacking Sheen to balance and many times outsmart the good old Alan. The show without Charlie Sheen,dropped ultimately to cheap shots, like the size of Kuthcher's manhood. The show wasn't Charlie Sheen, but rather the relationship crafted by years of good acting between Bertha, his brother, little(no more) Jake, and his mother. Ashton will never replace Charlie, and the type of character does not live up to the expectations. A big part of the show was seeing Alan being outsmarted by a simpler yet brighter Sheen. I see no line for this type of jokes anymore.I hope they reconsider Sheen as a part of the show and hopefully get him back...

Terrible... same as going to McDonalds and getting a pizza. It will suck, no doubt about it.

No one could compensate for Charlies' outbursts. Ashton Kutcher was a poor choice as a replacement since the show would fall miserably and Kutcher is not much of an actor. They should have worked it out with Charlie instead of making him "dead"

The 8th season was a serious downfall about Charlie's character, full of unjustified and uncharacteristic Charlie's decisions. They made a pathetic man from a legend. And this first episode of 9th season was so disrespectful to Charlie's character that put tears in my eyes. So many bad jokes I've not heard even from stupid child. Shameful and sad!!! NO reason to do so.
