"Sheen's 'Anger Management' Sells Out Ads for First 4 Episodes; Writers Set to Start Season 2 (Exclusive)


UPDATED: It hasn't even aired, but the Warlock's new sitcom is selling overseas, lining up sponsors and tracking far bigger than any show this summer.

When Charlie Sheen and his Anger Management cast wrapped shooting May 1 on the Sun Valley, Calif., set, nobody believed the first 10 episodes of the show would be their last. That's a sizable turnaround from six months ago.

When FX first announced a trial run of the Sheen sitcom, it was widely perceived in Hollywood as a risky bet on a ticking time bomb. Now, barring an unexpected meltdown or viewer indifference, the venture with Sheen, 46, is looking like a shrewd move, with international buyers and advertisers alike lining up to be a part of it.

In fact, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that FX and studio Lionsgate already have given their vote of confidence by allowing creator Bruce Helford and his writing staff to head back to work July 9, several weeks before they'll have official word on a pickup. It's a roughly $700,000 gamble that the first batch of Anger episodes, which begin airing June 28, will meet an undisclosed ratings threshold and be granted an additional 90-episode order per the arrangement with distributor Debmar-Mercury. (The first two episodes, no doubt boosted by intense curiosity, will not count toward the final tally, and the later episodes cannot see a dramatic audience drop-off.)

While the network is keeping mum on details, sources say Anger is selling at the highest CPM rates FX has ever seen for a first-year series. For weeks, the first four episodes of the series loosely based on the 2003 movie starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson have been sold out thanks to a mix of eager car, booze and movie studio advertisers. (Fiat signed on as a presenting sponsor.)"

I'm with you, there. SOA! :thumbsup

Chuckles will always be ok

I have always like Charlie - Even during his weird times :)

Charlie for the win !

Sorry, sometimes the hype doesn't live up to the fame. I couldn't wait to see what they did with "Men" after Charlie, but quickly lost interest.

What made "Men" wasn't the actors, it was the writing. It was a funny show. If his new show doesn't live up to Men, he'll be out of work quickly.

It's true that writing makes it, but the character has to be there in order to facilitate the type of writing.... So the actor playing the part, has to be able to deliver the kinds of lines that are really funny. I agree that after Charlie, "Men" wasn't funny, and that says a lot about the character that Charlie played, and the lines that the writers were able to feed him. Without him, there was no vehicle for that funny writing. I'm betting that this new show will basically be him playing a very similar character to what he played on "men", and therefore potentially very funny.

Totally agree!

Apparently Charlie Sheen was getting fed up with Two & A Half Men because he felt that the standard of writing/comedy was starting to slip. Chuck Lorre was involved in too many shows during the last couple of years and Charlie was getting bored.

I'm looking forward to this new show, Men hasn't been the same without him.

Good for him.
I wish I could fuck up this hard and still work.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh was thinking the same thing!

im sure he is having a blast!

I think it's funnier now. I never really liked him. This last season started out really bad, but it did get pretty good later on and I was laughing pretty good during each episode.

Good for him indeed!
