Everybody Loves Charlie - Record Audience For Two And A Half Men
How do you get your biggest television audience of the year? Well one thing you may want to try is to have your star get arrested and charged with second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief against your wife. Apparently that worked for Charlie Sheen as his show got the highest ratings it has received all season this past week. About 17 million people decided to bring Charlie and his knife into their living room on Monday night which made the show number one for the night and were the most people to watch the show in well over a year.
Ummm, I understand there is no such thing as bad publicity, but I really don't understand the record numbers to watch the show. What people have done is to give Charlie and the show a boost and since this is a contract year for him, probably reward Charlie personally to the tune of an extra $1M a week or something. You can buy a lot of knives and booze with an extra $1M a week.
