    Missed opportunity

    They should have given Alan the house and a ton of cash. It could have been very entertaining to see him deal with all that. The only thing I really disliked about the post-Sheen seasons was the character and/or acting ability of Ashton. The Walden character is not interesting, even with a billion dollars.

    A disappointing new start

    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...

    Death of Charlie

    All the seasons from 1 we have had introduction of characters in a good manner. However, the abrupt start of Charlie's death and continued portrayal of characters such as the mum and the women he dated is really bad. Oh yeah the mother loved his boys and through the movie the comment of i hate you mum was just a comment, i guess the script writer doesn't know that too as seen by her mum hatefully selling his house during the funeral. its a family not people who really hate each other. "try to ease in" as Alan would say, here you guys really gave Ashton a hard time. 3 episodes down and he is doing a bit okay, but should drop that penis scenes this is a comedy not a freak show. i still love the movie and other people are still around am hoping for the best for them and the work ahead.

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

    Every one is gonna miss Charlie Sheen....

    Well, now the show is not going to entertain you like before, and everyone knows the reason why. Ashton Kutcher is good but you cannot compare him with Charlie at least for this particular role.

    The womanizer is now gone and left us with great memories to cherish.

    This episode can not be compared with earlier episodes as the bad-boy, alcoholic and careless Charlie Harper is missing. Jon Cryer is also a great actor but his chemistry with Charlie Sheen was amazing and it might take some time for Ashton to fit in his role and the sitcom.

    For this particular episode i can only rate it 5/10. Hope this will get better in future and i wish that Charlie could come back.
