3. Two and a half men
One of the longest running shows on television, Two and a Half Men is an American sitcom that began broadcast on CBS in 2003. Starring Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Angus T.

After Alan divorces, he moves with his son to share Charlie's beach-front Malibu house and complicate Charlie's free-wheeling life. In 2011, CBS and Warner Bros. decided to end production for the rest of the eighth season after Sheen entered drug rehabilitation and made "disparaging comments" about the show's creator and executive producer Chuck Lorre. Sheen's contract was soon terminated. The ninth-season killed off Sheen's character and introduced Ashton Kutcher as Walden Schmidt, his replacement.
