Is what it should have been called when Ashton came in to save it. Mr. Kutcher is NOT the reason the show is failing. It was on it's last legs when the pathetic Charlie Sheen finally blew a gasket. Granted, the show was, in large part, pretty much a thinly veiled view into Mr. Sheen's real life, but the rest of it was at least still tolerable, but sinking already. The real reason the show is tanking is the terrible writing. It's always been mostly dialogue full of double meanings and barely acceptable language, but Chuck Lorre has obviously lost all interest in this particular horse in his stable of shows. It's just everyone is now just walking about, saying the most prurient things they can think to say. The only character that has any decent dialogue is Walden, and he can't do it all alone, he has to have SOMEONE to play off of. It's pure and simple, the show has just run out of ideas. Even if Charlie were still there, this would be the final hours of the thing. It wasn't much more than a one trick pony to begin with, but now everyone on the show is a caricature of themselves and it should be brought to an end, it's suffered enough. If anyone could have saved it, it was Ashton, but the writers just aren't interested any more, so let it die in peace, it's just embarrassing itself now, and it's the fault of the writers and producers, NOT the actors, most of which are probably hanging on so tightly because their employment elsewhere is in peril, except for Mr. Kutcher, which is a shame, because there are some good actors on the show, just not being used well, just used. Say goodbye, please.
Just sayin',
