Charlie Sheen thinks Being Sober is boring.....

He's the main character.
I think CBS has decided that Sheen is such a trainwreck that there is no guarantee he can show up to make the show, and that it's better to cut their losses rather then have another mid season collapse.

And 8 years is as much juice you can squeeze out from a sitcom concept I think anyway.

Just a question here: I've never watched Sheen's show. Is Sheen an essential part of it? Or is it what is sometimes referred to as "an ensemble cast?" In other words, if the next episode depicts the other characters telling each other that the Charlie character was abruptly transferred to Detroit or something, would CBS have a chance to keep making zillions of dollars (which, after all, is the only reason they have put up with this guy for so long anyway)?

The show is about the adventures Sheen's penis has.
And that's about it.

There's some other flawed characters to fit in the main character's total lack of interest in anything but getting laid.

Yes. I don't believe it's an acting stretch for Sheen. It seems he is already in character for the part.

I admit I've watched a few, and enjoyed them. The other cast members, in particular the woman who plays Sheen's mother, has made me laugh out loud.

That explains a lot. I didn't know it was a documentary. :blush:

Basically!
He took a reality show about his life and got rich doing it!
And now, he's **** in his own messkit, as the Marines would say.
 
I watched the Piers Morgan interview. He licked his lips a lot, or at least it seems to me like he did. Also, those cups on the desk that no one every actually drinks out of? He must have taken at least a dozen drinks during the show. Drug related?

You bet.
One of signs that drugs have done permanent damage to your mental processes is that even if you are not directly under the influence, you often behave as if you were. This is not going to end well for Sheen.

She is a dear!
I've seen the maid on another show, where she played a judge.
Did that well too.
I like her attitude. :)
The occasional guests, like Stephen Tyler, Sean Penn, do well.
And April Bowby.. just the perfect airhead. Delightful!
 
I got a email from a friend who is a career officer in the US Army, and he states..as I already guessed....that SHeen's massive mangling of military terminology is his rants is a prime source of comedy in his unit. I think that goes not only for every unit in the US Army, but in the Navy, Air Force and Marines as well.

Let's not neglect the Coast Guard.

I did not know that drugs could do that.
If I had known, I wouldn't have done all that E during the nineties.

BTW, I love you all soooooo much.
And boy, this carpet is fluffy.
I should get a carpet like this, do you know where....
What was I talking about?
 
Just a little input from a chemical dependency counselor with over twenty years' experience (not me by a long stretch) of drug addiction and dual diagnosis -- her opinion based solely on Sheen's public appearances is that he seems to be displaying symptoms of schizophrenia which may or may not be drug-related. He might very well be self-medicating with the use of cocaine or heroin or whatever his drug du jour is.

Whatever the case may be, I find it somewhat sad to see anyone self-destruct like that, especially publicly. What I find more disheartening is the media's hounding attention.

Not surprised, of course, just sad.
