I think that Ashton Kutcher is a horrible replacement for Charlie Sheen. True I did not watch the first episode of “Two and a Half Men,” but I did watch the second episode. I was not amused.
Evidently CBS is not amused but for a different reason.
CBS is reportedly unhappy with a marketing stunt Kutcher pulled in this week’s episode in which the actor promoted companies he has a personal interest in – and the network was not paid for the product placement.
Kutcher’s character Walden Schmidt – an Internet billionaire – is seen on his laptop, which is covered in stickers and decals for social media and tech sites, all companies Kutcher has financial stakes in, according to Variety.
“Two and Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre was okay with the promos, but apparently CBS was not. CBS says it will blur out the stickers for all repeat airings of the episode.
As for "Two and Half Men", with the natural end of the series so near it might have been better to have ended last year - to have made a couple of wrap up episodes to account for Charlie’s disappearance and then gone out with some dignity.
