After a day in which Charlie Sheen took to the airwaves to criticize everything from his boss to Alcoholics Anonymous, CBS has finally had enough.Production on 'Two and a Half Men,' the troubled star's uber-successful sitcom, was set to resume on Monday. Four more episodes were to have been made before the 'Men' wrapped up work on its eighth season.
But in a statement issued late Thursday, CBS said that it was halting production on those episodes. "Based on the totality of Charlie Sheen's statements, conduct and condition, CBS and Warner Bros. Television have decided to discontinue production of 'Two and a Half Men' for the remainder of the season," the statement read in full.
UPDATE: Sheen fired back about the shutdown late Thursday night, repeating his slurs against 'Men's' creator, Chuck Lorre, and calling him a "contaminated little maggot" and a "worm."
