Two and a Half Men about to lose another star?

Angus T. Jones of 'Two and a Half Men' asks viewers to stop watching his CBS sitcom.

'Two and a Half Men' star Jones rips sitcom for 'filth'

I stopped watching CBS because they have the filthiest shows on any of the major networks. However, zeal must be accompanied by wisdom. Many young people of faith speak with zeal, but allow themselves to be trapped, only to be called a hypocrite. I certainly hope it works out for him, along with his contractual agreements. It's good to know that money and fame are not dictating his actions, but he must remember to be a light to those still associated with the show. Being a light doesn't necessarily mean setting bridges on fire.

Hopefully, he will connect with Kirk Cameron and have a mentor that can really help him deal with his life and spiritual issues.

I never cared about that show anyway.

 

[Mrs Evilwrench]

Oh good for him! If anyone related to that show could be considered a "star". Take away the sex and drinking and the episode would only be about 11 seconds. The best part about it is the theme song!

 

[CathyInBlue]

Maybe he could join the cast of Anger Management.

My take: now that he HAS money and fame, he can afford a change of heart. It would appear different if he quit the show FIRST and walked away from the fame and money to follow his heart.

That said, he really does have a point. There is VERY little on TV that is worth watching. Most is junk, and a good bit (like this show) is pure trash.

The show has been on air since 2003. Filth or not, why do you suppose that is?

What's the old Carlin joke?

Think about a person with average intelligence. Now, realize that half of the world is dumber than that.

Explains a lot, no?

The same reason Honey-Boo-Boo has a "career"?

This +1

I find 2.5 men not as bad as it used to be, but I have never really liked it. I remember watching shows on CBS liked "Touched by an Angel" and "Promised Land" that were shows anyone could watch and while you might have to explain why something happened in the show (like a crime or something), you didn't have to worry about having to explain the birds and bees to a five year old. Even shows like "Walker, Texas Ranger" was mostly clean. Now shows thrive on sex, violence and other stuff you might not want little kids to see. Look at Big Brother and Survivor. I wish shows like Andy Griffith was still doing new shows.

I think that this young man has everything to lose and nothing to gain by stating his Christian beliefs. The entertainment industry and news media aren't kind to Christians. I am hopeful that this 19 year old has true convictions.

 

[singlestacksig]

he seems to have no problem cashing his paychecks..
so he must not really dislike the show..
if he truly had a moral objection to the show he would quit..
i think it is a play for more $$

 

[Kedric]

I've never watched the show. Then again, I am one of those people who think 95% of what they spew out as 'entertainment' is worthless garbage.

Sometimes I miss good tv shows, then I usually find something better to do with my time.

 

[lovemachine]

If its not:

Duck Dynasty
Justified
Breaking bad
Walking Dead
Grimm
Fringe
Big bang theory

Then I don't watch it

Maybe he knows that is in contract and knowing that breaking a contract has major implications, he will finish out his contract or hope the shows producers will cancel it for him if he truely wants to quit. I know recently, he is in the military and shows up via a "web cam" or once in a while in the house.

I was watching Two Broke Girls and could stand very little if it. I guess that's why I pay $$ a month for TV Land and the Outdoor Channel.

 

[Fletch]

Here comes Kirk Cameron 2.0

I ditched cable. Nothing but trash on every channel.

I have Netflix for movies.
My brother built an antenna for me to pick up HD over the air - local channels for free.
