Kutcher sitcom debut takes Sheen off Charlie

NEW Two and A Half Men star Ashton Kutcher has bragging rights over Charlie Sheen.

Kutcher’s debut in the CBS sitcom on Monday was watched by 27.7 million people. The Nielsen company says that’s more than any other episode in the first eight seasons, when Sheen was the star.

The troubled actor filed a $100 million (€73m) lawsuit for wrongful termination against Warner after his firing, which followed bitter public tirades directed at the studio and the show’s executive producer.
