The first couple or so episodes were good. But now it has just turned into them showing Aston Kurcher naked as often as they can and having his character's unmentionable described as being huge. I have stopped watching it. I didn't like it with Sheen either but watched reruns because of the women guest stars and the other cast members.

The thing with Aston's character is that he is a less depressed richer version of Alan - Charlie's character was a Peter Pan womaniser, the complete opposite of Alan. I don't know how they are going to change the dynamic, but it was a really difficult starting point. The show seemed to survive the change from Charlie Sheen to Ashton Kutcher but it seems to be repeating some of the original stories of when Alan joined Charlie, his first experience with the parties and the how he had a tough time coping with Judith leaving him and dating Herb. The show is only in it's 7th episode this season, so I'm assuming a wait and see policy to see how the show works out.

I had only watched the new one once and I did not like it. I do not think that the way they have done the change was a good idea. In a show like that one once the star is gone the show is done. They should have just cut their losses or just made a new show. Not try to redo it as good as it was cause it never works.

I just don't want to see him naked, so not going to watch. Its sad to see this top rated show slide in the ratings so fast. I do believe some have stopped watching seeing Kurcher personal life on the news. Its clear that the show isn't working now.

There have been several Ashton Kutcher movies prevalent lately and I decided I didn't like the guy. So when I saw he was going to replace Sheen, I could not see him as a good fit with the other cast members. I thought the show was ok before they brought in the adult version then it became pretty sleazy. It sounds like it is becoming worse.

The show has become a joke now. I don't even think it will make it to the end of the session.

After hearing about Charlie Sheen been replaced by Ashton Kutcher in Two and a Half Men I stopped watching this series as I think the seasons with Charlie Sheen were the best and no one can replace Charlie Sheen in this series.
I don't why they replaced Charlie Sheen, but I can now see that dropping Charlie Sheen has got the rating of this show down ...

I stopped watching it when I heard that Kurcher was gonna be in it, I felt that the show had reached its limit once Jake got to be a teenager I felt that he was just too old to be still doing the show. I liked it when he was little because then he was just clueless when it came to the things his uncle and dad said and I found that to be funny but now that he is older he knows whats going on now so it was more like he was being taught by his uncle to be a sleez. So sadly I stopped watching the show, its too bad it ended the way it did.

I with you too there, after Charlie Sheen left, the show seems very awkward and weird. The show doesn't have the old touch that it use to have. I use to watch the show all the time when Charlie was there no that he's gone, the new episodes just don't seem right to me. Like you said, they're trying to show Aston Kutcher naked as much as possible and I don't like his character either. His character is all about being depressed and trying to find some woman to replace the other woman he loved. I did find it alright but now, I don't really watch it anymore. I found it more funny when Charlie Sheen was in the show, I liked his character and the things he says to his brother are so funny! Now with him replaced, it's just awkward.
