After CBS announced "Two and A Half Men" would come to a close after season 12 Wednesday, we decided to take a look at the long running show.
Charlie Sheen was ousted from the show following negative comments about the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, initially on radio and TMZ followed by a series of network interviews where he exhibited strange behavior and continued to bad mouth Lorre and the network.
As a result, the show awkwardly killed off Sheen’s character at the start of the ninth season.
The episode may have been a rating’s high for the network (more than 28 million viewers tuned in to watch); however, Sheen’s absence wasn’t received well by long-time viewers.
