two and a half me

Don't worry 'Two and a Half Men' fans. Your show is not ending any time soon.

Charlie Sheen will be released from rehab and resume taping new episodes of the long-running CBS sitcom as early as March 19.

The show went into a temporary hiatus towards the end of last month when Sheen had to check himself into rehab following his domestic abuse charges as a "precautionary measure." His charges and rehabilitation check-in sparked all sorts of speculation, including here at TV Squad, that his presence or lack thereof could grind the show to a halt, but it looks like that isn't the case ... for now.

Laugh tracks always amaze me. Just what kind of easily-amused simpletons do the networks hire to laugh at crappy sitcoms? I imagine it does something like this. A bunch of actors are wrangled into a studio and are told to pretend to be an interested audience. They are each given a secret dose of thorazine through a hidden syringe in their seats. Nitrous oxide is pumped into the studio. And just before the curtain goes up, they are each whacked across the face with a cast-iron shovel. Then they turn on the applause sign.

College Humor has taken this weird TV tradition and turned it on its head by providing a "groan track" to CBS' neverending sitcom 'Two-and-a-Half Men'.
