When CBS presented its 2014-15 schedule this morning, the network made the announcement that the upcoming season of Two and a Half Men will be its last. Hmm, wonder if this would have happened if Charlie Sheen hadn't been replaced by Ashton Kutcher back in 2010?

On how the series will be wrapped up, CBS exec Nina Tassler said, "Chuck Lorre is creating a season-long event. We did very well last year with announcing final season of How I Met Your Mother here, too. Chuck is very psyched about this; he's got some great ideas and very big surprises. We know fans and audiences respond to that and that should really give us a nice boost when we launch our new comedy."

Tassler was asked if Sheen might return to the show, to which she replied, “I would like to see whatever Chuck would like to do. He has assured us that he has a lot of surprises in store. I don't know if that's one of them.” That's not a no! But would Mr. Tiger Blood really want to come back and work with the same people he publicly slammed during his infamous meltdown a few years ago?

Though a drop in ratings could be blamed for the show not getting renewed, it is a huge hit in syndication with an estimated value at more than $1 billion, and as of last season Kutcher was raking in $700,000 per episode while co-star John Cryer was given about $620,000 per episode. Not a bad run!
