10 TV Shows That Were Disrupted By Behind-The-Scenes Feuds

1. Charlie Sheen - Two And A Half Men

Of the original two and a half men, only one hasn't had a major blowout with the show (the always reliable, criminally underrated Jon Cryer). We were treated to the sight of Charlie Sheen self-destructing in spectacular fashion, showcasing increasingly erratic behavior that could only point to a huge amount of drugs and a massively over-inflated ego. He had a falling out (to put it mildly) with showrunner Chuck Lorre that left the future of the show in jeopardy.

Charlie Sheen was removed from Two and a Half Men, while his character was burned in effigy (not literally, but pretty close to it). Ashton Kutcher was brought in as a slightly less amusing millionaire for Cryer to mooch off of, and the show seemed like it was finally stabilizing. Until the next loose cannon revealed himself, that is.

Seemingly out of nowhere, little Angus T. Jones made a public statement calling the show filth (you know, that show that will make it possible for him to spend the rest of his life lying on the beach somewhere), and encouraging audiences everywhere not to watch it. While he may have a point, it's hard not to feel a little resentful of someone so blatantly biting the hand that feeds them.
