It's not as though he a good actor either.....
I was thinking of that last night watching one of the reruns. Actually, I think he's brother in the show is a much better comedian and really deserved the Emmy he won, and the maid is funny as hell, not to mention the kid, great comedic timing for such a young fellow.
I was thinking that the show can continue without him, the other actors on the show really make the show, the gorgeous girls that Charlie always boinks, well they're a dime a dozen, can get them anytime, and Charlie is replacable IMO.
I suggest Mathew Perry, funny Canadian from Ottawa, to replace him, he'll be great and much better. FatOne I don't think the show is done, it's still funny, heck I still laugh watching second and even third reruns of shows.
Finally, the real star of the show are the writers, they're unbelievable, not Charlie, he is easily replaced and should be for his own sake, he really needs to get help.
