Two And A Half Men Lasts A Decade Two and a Half Men survived the Charlie Sheen fiasco and continues to thrive as it heads into Season 10. We all know the story: Charlie Sheen had a good thing going at Two and a Half Men before he had a meltdown of epic proportions. It cost him his job as the highest-paid actor on television and it forced the show to make a sudden U-turn. Instead of being based on Charlie Harper (Sheen), Alan Harper ( Jon Cryer ) and Jake (Angus T. Jones) trying to share one house amid daily shenanigans, Walden Schmidt ( Ashton Kutcher ) was forced into the mix and Charlie was killed off. While many thought Sheen's exit would be the death of the show, Season 9 proved that Two and a Half Men can withstand the loss of one man. Kutcher seamlessly took over and now it feels like he's been there the whole time. Synopsis In Season 9, Walden Schmidt (Kutcher) -- a billionaire who made his fortune on the internet -- struggled through a bitter divorce. Alan Harper and his son Jake were there to help him through the ordeal and now the new Two and a Half Men are back at the beach house and are up to their old tricks. To end Season 9, Jake enlisted in the army after an evening of downloading porn ended in disaster. In Season 10, we can all assume Jake won't survive long in
