Sitcom may go on without sacked star Sheen

ACTOR Charlie Sheen may have gone, but his phenomenally successful US sitcom Two and a Half Men is likely to stay around.

Although the eight-year-old show is ageing and revolved around Sheen’s playboy character Charlie Harper, Warner Bros Television and CBS have every incentive to try to keep it going after producers fired him Monday.

The show is a huge money-maker, it is the most popular comedy on the air, and in syndication. But the more important question might be whether viewers will buy a remade show next autumn.
