The season premiere of Two and a Half Men brought in a whopping 28.7 million viewers. The numbers have diminished since, with the fourth episode drawing far less, but still a very respectable 15.8 million people.
As expected, the premiere was huge with all eyes riveted to Charlie Harper’s funeral and eager to check out new guy Ashton Kutcher.
The CBS mainstay is in the same time slot as some stiff competition: Monday Night Football and Dancing with the Stars.
A source close to Ashton said he is, “concerned that the ratings are dropping each week.”
To keep things in prospective it can’t be all that bad because when Sheen was on the show last year, CBS was bringing in 16 million viewers each week.
Nonetheless, you can bet Ashton is concerned about the ratings drop, especially in light of the negative media attention after he stepped out on his wedding anniversary with a woman half his age. The actor reportedly has told close friends that he expects Demi to file for divorce.
So how do you think Ashton Kutcher is doing? Is Walden right for ‘Men’?
