Charlie Sheen has signed up to appear in this new series that is loosely based on Jack Nicholson's film, Anger Management. It will center on a non-confrontational man who is sent to anger management sessions by his therapist who is really the one in need of anger management

quote:

When it's on: Thursdays starting June 28

Who's in it: Some guy named Charlie Sheen, some girl named Selma Blair, and an assortment of frightened actors and actresses.

What it's about: Sheen's return to television appropriately sees him playing a total jerk in this adaptation of the movie of the same name. A former ballplayer with a promising career that was derailed by anger issues, a guy named Charlie (clever) goes back to school to become an anger management therapist himself. Only in a comedy, folks!

Anger Management. Eerste ep was wel aardig. Tweede was echt crap. Ik weet niet of ik nog verder ga kijken. Denk het niet. De cast is wel heel leuk bij elkaar gezocht. Vooral die exvrouw, die ik nog ken van Becker .

Vond het redelijk, geef het nog een aflevering of 3 de kans.

Tegenspelers van Sheen zijn niet echt sterk. Die ex-vrouw praat heel apart en z'n clienten hebben allen beetje hun oneliners. Die fuckbuddy van 'm lijkt ook weinig toe te voegen. Maar het is de start, dus wie weet.

'Anger Management' renewal 'very likely'; Martin Sheen to join full time

In the 100-episode dash of FX’s Anger Management, Charlie Sheen is clearing the ratings hurdles.

FX entertainment president John Landgraf says the new comedy series is exceeding the undisclosed ratings threshold required to pick up the show. FX had agreed to order 90 more episodes of the series if the show cleared a certain audience level. According to data for the first six episodes, Sheen is on target to stay on FX for a long time.

“We won’t make a decision on the 90 episodes until all 10 have aired but the series up until now has given us every indication [that it will return],” Landgraf told critics at the TCA press tour in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

Landgraf went on to describe the pickup as “very likely.” And in the biggest indication that the show’s renewal is all but certain, Landgraf said that Sheen’s father, veteran actor Martin Sheen, who’s appearing in the show’s ninth episode (playing, naturally, Charlie’s dad), will join the comedy full time as a series regular for the remaining 90 episodes.

“What the entry of Martin Sheen’s character will do is it will give an extra dimension to the show and make it a multi-generational family show,” Landgraf said. “The show will still deal with his relationship with his patients and the women in his life, but will also [expand to focus on his family].”

Later, Charlie Sheen himself took the stage and added: “I’m excited as hell. I don’t think 90 is going to be enough. I feel we’ve started that we’ve barely scratched the surface.”

Asked for the millionth time about the meltdown that led from his exodus from CBS’ Men, Sheen said: “It was a crazy time and it was like a dream I couldn’t wake up from … like a runaway train I couldn’t get off of — and I was the conductor. It’ll never happen again — that’s the cool thing … I’m not insane anymore.”

Selma Blair Leaving 'Anger Management' After Fight With Charlie Sheen

Selma Blair is officially leaving "Anger Management" following a fight with co-star Charlie Sheen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Per TMZ, the drama began when Blair allegedly told "Anger Management" executives that Sheen was always late to set and had a bad work ethic. When Sheen heard about Blair's criticism, he reportedly fired the actress and issued an ultimatum -- if Blair showed up to set on Monday, Sheen would quit.

Apparently, Sheen's threats were enough to spook "Anger Management's" producers, because production company Lionsgate confirmed Blair's exit on Tuesday afternoon in a statement: "We are confirming that Selma Blair will not be returning to 'Anger Management' and we wish her the very best.”

According to Deadline, Sheen reportedly fired Blair via text, and the actress wasn't the only cast member who had issues with the star's on-set behavior. Deadline also reports that Blair's role as Sheen's character's therapist will not be recast at this time, but the series is reportedly seeking a new female regular, while Blair will be paid per her contract's terms with no legal action pending.
