THR reports that executives were forced to order the additional episodes after Charlie Sheen forced production delays on his hit series so he could seek in-home rehab treatment following a two-day bender that landed him in the hospital.

A spokesperson for CBS says that the network is not reliant on Sheen's show, and that they are "strong and deep with hit series." They went on to say, "Any ratings declines will be more than offset by the reduced programing costs for episodes lost this season."

The spokesperson added, "In addition, Two and a Half Men has always performed well in repeats."
