Two and A Half Men - the "Meat Explosion"

I despise Two and a Half Men, and it looks like there's much to despise in the season open. Charlie Sheen's character has been killed off - apparently shoved in front of a train by his new wife because she caught him cheating.

So.... murder is going to be made out to be funny. Will the new wife go to jail or will she get a medal - that will doubtless not be made clear.

And what's really, really sad... Charlie Sheen, who should be undergoing counseling for wasting his life, gets to star in another TV series, Anger Management, which obviously is capitlizing on his off-screen troubles, of which he should be ashamed, and should not be rewarded.

But, no, the guy has made a mess of his life, and he still has fans who will no doubt wnat to emulate him. Very, very sad..

Charlie Sheen's TV death brings laughter and tears

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - At Charlie Sheen's faux funeral on "Two and a Half Men," there will definitely be tears -- of laughter.

While CBS and Warner Bros. Television have remained stubbornly tight-lipped about the upcoming season premiere of "Two and a Half Men" -- which taped last Friday, and airs on September 19 -- Sheen's former co-star Jon Cryer appeared on Los Angeles television station KTLA to discuss the series reboot.

The new season reportedly will open with a funeral for Sheen's character, playboy jingle-writer Charlie Harper, and according to Cryer, Harper's demise will be a laugh-riot.

"I'm not allowed to say much about it," Cryer said, before divulging, "I can tell you this, it's funny."

Reports last week indicated that Sheen's character would meet his demise by being nudged in front of a train in Paris by his new bride Rose, after getting caught cheating -- resulting in a "meat explosion."

Without revealing specifics, Cryer noted that the farewell won't be as gruesome as all that. He also said that at Friday's taping, his new co-star Ashton Kutcher "tore the roof off the joint."

Sheen is surprisingly enthusiastic about getting killed off from the hit series. The 45 year-old actor -- who's gearing up to star in a sitcom based on the Jack Nicholson movie "Anger Management" -- told TMZ on Wednesday that he's "honored" to be going out in such a locomotive fashion.

"I am honored that it took something as large and violent as an oncoming train to terminate my character," Sheen said. "Anything less would have been an insult!"
