July 1, 2012. Charlie Sheen's new show sets a record!  Check it out, "Anger Management" debuted with an all-time record viewership for a cable comedy series.  Personally I must say, I watched both episodes as it was an "hour show" of two back to back episodes, and I thought it was really good.  Charlie Sheen did a great job, and the writing was very, very good.  Here is a link to the story:  http://tv.yahoo.com/news/-anger-management--scores-biggest-comedy-debut-in-cable-history.html  There seems to be a very good supporting cast as well and with the solid fan base of Charlie Sheen, it looks like the series will be on for a long time to come.  As for 2 1/2 men, I think their days are numbered as Ashton Kutcher probably will not be able to deliver the style of show that the viewers had come to know.  Either way, I wish the best for both shows!

Here is more from the posted story.
Charlie Sheen's new FX comedy "Anger Management" debuted to huge numbers last night, scoring the biggest scripted comedy debut in cable history. It pulled in 5.47 million total viewers, with 2.65 million of those in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic; that's the biggest series premiere in FX history. And even better news for Sheen and FX: The audience grew as the hour went on, with an audience of 5.74 million viewers tuning in for "Anger's" second half-hour.

Now those numbers are a far cry from Sheen's former show, CBS's "Two and a Half Men," which drew an average of 15 million viewers this past season -- its first with Ashton Kutcher replacing Sheen. But viewers abandoned "Men" as Kutcher's debut season wore on, with only 11.33 million tuning in for May's season finale. And to be fair, "Men" airs on a major network during the prime TV viewing season, while "Anger" debuted on a relatively tiny cable network in the middle of summer.
