One and a Half Men

Bring in Jim Belushi and Courtney Thorne-Smith as the new wacky neighbors [no kids though, they just get in the way]. They kept According to Jim going for years past its useful shelf life.

Courtney Thorne-Smith was just on the show this week. Apparently, she signed on to play Alan's girlfriend. But as far as Jim goes, I agree with a previous poster...UGH!

Should Sheen leave then I would suggest giving "Berta" a larger (no pun intended) role. She is hilarious and would add a lot of comic relief to the program.

Berta *is* a hilarious, talented actress, plus she gets a lot of good lines. I also enjoy the actress who plays Charlie and Alan's mother. I don't think it would fly without Sheen though.
 
There isn't a bad apple in the whole regular cast.

Charlie could be replaced as there are a number of actors who could replicate his character without a lot of effort. Having the viewers accept the change might be challenging though. I'd like to see the producers give it a try, as opposed to scrapping the show, because the rest of the staff is simply too good to go to waste.
 
Alan Harper & his son, Jake, go off for a night on the town so Charlie can have some alone time with his current paramour. When his paramour decides she doesn't want to do all the kinky stuff he demands, Charlie, in a drunken rage, accidentally sets fire to the condo when he tries to blow out all the "mood candles" he has lit and the alcoholic fumes from his breath instead cause a conflagration that takes his and his paramours life. Alan & Harper then move in with with a long forgotten fraternal twin of Charlie that their mother has never told them cause she had put him up for adoption shortly after he was born because he wasn't as handsome as baby Charlie but he happened to pop at this exact moment because he has tracked them all down. He also happens to have the same libido and way with the ladies as the now fried Charlie had. Taking pity on Alan and Jake, he offers to let them live in his apartment which happens to be way across on the other side of the country which they proceed to move to. Hilarious hijinks ensue and the show continues on as before.

The show's got to end sometime soon, when Jake stops being "half" a "man" ... right?

Some ideas (which probably don't have a chance in hell) - Alan's practice takes off and:

Alan and Judith get back together in Charlie's house (Charlie having been snuffed when Berta, not recognizing Charlie disguised as a pool table, racks his balls).

Judith and Herb split and Herb moves in with Alan. Show is retitled "One-half Man & Two Geeks".
If they did this, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady and Drew Carey would have to be the wacky neighbors.

Jon Cryer is definitely strong enough to carry a show...

Oh, does he? Does anyone here remember "The Famous Teddy Z"?
Yes, because Alex Rocco won an Emmy for Al Floss.

The two of them together made that show work (but not a true success), but it was both of them.

Spade's character as a substitute teacher was completely unbelievable
No more so than the son of the company president actually trying to do a job he's not qualified for.

As a loser, he's completely believable. Oh, why did I not watch "Just Shoot Me' when I had the chance?
 
I forgot to mention Charlie was on the cover of the TV section that comes with my newspaper. I don't know how many papers used this same cover, but he looks so mean that I can't see this being a positive with anyone who already hates the man.
