Was there any way this was not going to be the number one entry? Two and a Half Men was a huge hit thanks to Charlie Sheen. Then Sheen went nuts, and brought you Goddesses, Winning, and Tiger Blood. Unable to handle Sheen's antics, showrunner Chuck Lorre and CBS terminated Sheen. Sheen had already challenged Lorre to a fight, publicly, and caused the show's production to be shut down. Producers of the show called him an addict who spurned anyone who tried to help him. We all know where Sheen went next - a one man show, tabloids, and now Anger Management. Lorre killed off his character, and used every chance to get back at the star. They're still feuding, to the point that Sheen challenged Lorre in his version of the ALS Ice Bucket challenge (he also challenged his eventual replacement on the show, Ashton Kutcher, and former co-star John Cryer). But wait, that's not all! Co-star Angus T. Jones found Jesus while on the show, and left, calling himself a "paid hypocrite" by the end of his run with the sitcom and denouncing it as filth. The struggling show staggered forward with Ashton Kutcher and Amber Tamblyn, but it was never the same (really, it could have just been called "one man" at that point).
