Describe your reaction to Charlie Sheen's interview. Charlie Sheen has been earning almost $2 million per episode of the sitcom, Two and a Half Men. Because of all the "emotional and psychological distress," he is now asking for $3 million per episode. Should Charlie Sheen get his raise? Why or why not? Do you believe Charlie Sheen cured himself from drug addiction?

Downing says. . . Charlie Sheen is a talented actor. He showed tremendous acting ability in Wall Street and Eight Men Out. Now, however, it is all about him. I would love to earn 2 million a year, much less per episode of a TV show. I do not think that he has been cured from drug addiction.

Tee: I do not think that Charlie Sheen should receive a raise; two million dollars an episode is enough. Any more is being incredibly greedy. I'm not too sure that he has cured himself from his drug addiction, although he does seem to be very confident with himself. Hopefully, he can find the strength within himself in order to give up all of his bad habits; he is a very talented man and it's a complete shame to see his abilities wasted.

Lauren...Charlie Sheen did not seem very concentrated on his interview. He joked around too much for anyone to take him seriously. Two and a Half Men was a very popular show. Sheen was the highest paid actor on TV and he ruined all of that with his actions. He was paid $2 million per episode until his directors encouraged him to clean up his act. Charlie Sheen does not deserve a raise and I also do not believe that it is possible for him to cure his own drug addiction problem.

Madi... I think Charlie Sheen is a good actor, but honestly I don't think he deserves three million dollars every episode he does. Charlie Sheen seems crazy to me because why would he call into radio stations saying the crazy things that he said? Who knows what else he would do if he had more money. I don't believe that he cured himself to his drug addiction, no way he got over the use of drugs that quick.

Ernie says.......Charlie has not cure himself from the drug addiction he has. Anyone could tell by his interview that he is not clean of drugs or drinking. He should not get a raise on his episodes because he is not the only actor that made the show Two And A Half Men. He is a selfish guy.

I don’t think that Charlie has been cured from drugs. From his actions I don’t think that he deserves the rise. I would love to be able to get 2 million dollars per episode. Charlie is always the highest paid actor, what more could he want? Getting 3 million dollars would be greedy.

Two and a Half Men is a family show so Sheen should behave himself. I don't think he is over his drug addiction because of he seems very jumpy in the interview. His misbehavior has haulted the production of the show and his co-stars are affected from getting their pay. He should not get a raise and he should be let go from acting in the show.

Chris says….I think Charlie Sheen Should get his raise to 3 million per episode only because the show is so popular. If he goes back to drugs and alcohol I think they should take money away from him and tell him he cannot be an actor anymore unless he is clean all the time. As of what I have heard I think he is drug free and wants to spend more time with his family.

I do not think that Charlie Sheen should get the raise that he is asking for. I don't believe that he deserves it, due to the way the has been acting. I do not think that he can just cure himself from drugs on his own, because drugs is a bad habit, and a hard one to stop.

I think Charlie is very funny. I also like his show Two and a Half Men. He may have done drugs, but i I think they should give him another chance if he stays off drugs. If they don't let him do the show anymore alot of people would be upset because it is a very funny show.

Kristin says... Charlie Sheen should not be given a raise because he hasn't earned it. It is possible that he's cured from his drug addiction, but it's very unlikely. You can't just "I'm cured" and that's the end of it.

Sheron says… I think Charlie shouldn’t get his raise because I think he’s not cured and he just wants a raise to support his habit. He says he wants a raise to support his family but I think he could support them with his current income. I also think if CBS would’ve let the show go on they would have been looked down upon as well.

LaKendra says... Although Charlie may be a good actor I don't think that he deserves the $3 million dollars that he wants for the show. It is clear that all of his money and fame has led him to be cocky and believe that everything is about him. If he got even more money then he would become an even worse person. I don't think that he is over his drug addiction either. He may say that he is but I just think that he is in denial. He thinks that he can do anything and get whatever he wants. No matter how good of and actor he is, he needs to have a reality check !

Ashley says... I don't think Charlie Sheen has gotton over his drug addition. He seemed so out of it in his interveiw. He keeps going back to alcohol for the best choice and it's not a good one! He's a very selfish guy and think every is all about him. He already gets enough money, so I don't think he deserves a raise. Getting that much money in one episode is alot more than some other actors. You can tell he can't handle the money already. He's buying alcohol, drugs, and ect. He's out of control and no one will want to be around him or work with him. He has kids and want to them to read about him in the magizines when their older. Who does that? His own kids shouldn't have to hear or see it. He needs to get his act together. Hes a good actor and his show is funny. He's not the only oone on the show, he's also affecting everyone he works with!

Destiny said...No! He should not get a raise. He already has enough money and we need it more than he do. What is he doing to help the people who need help with money, getting jobs, people who do not have a home and are going trouble times?????? Charlie Sheen should not get a raise.

Jonathan says... Charlie Sheen is a hilarious guy and some people say that he messed up and some people don't care. He's made a killing off this show and more then likely still will. He deserves a raise because its his 8th season doing the show but at the same time he did mess up kind of. his interview kind of made me laugh because the whole time he was talking he was joking around.

Cadeja Wilson: I believe that Charlie Sheen should in fact get his raise. Sheen is a very talented actor and is amazing at what he does. $3 million per episode is a lot of money that would do him and his family well. Yes he is, or was, a drug addict but I think that if he said he has cured himself from drug addiction then we should look at that as he doesn’t want to go back down that road again because he wants to get back on track with his career and with his life. I know that a lot of people say it is impossible to cure your own self from a problem as big as drugs but anything is possible. Actions speak louder than words so if he says that he has cured himself from doing drugs and abusing alcohol then I think that we will eventually see that in him.

Matthew: I mean the thing is he can ask for it. Whether or not he SHOULD, the fact of the matter is, he has the ability to ask for it given the fact that he is the main character of the show. As long as what he asks for still allows the company to make a great amount of money, he can ask for it. Even if he has been a drug addict (whether or not he is now is beside the point), he is STILL the main character of the show. Even if we believe that he should clean up his act, the TV company will not push him out of the show, simply for the fact that he makes them more money than he will ever lose them.

I think Charlie Sheen is crazy. I don't think he should get a raise, and he should be satisfied with what he gets paid. I don't think he has cured his drug addiction.

Charlie Sheen is absolutely retarded. His reasoning for everything is just plain idiotic. A paraplegic encountering a flight of stairs as the only way up or down does not even cry this much. No one with any kind of self-respect would apologize to Charlie Sheen for him being a butthole. As for turning back to drugs and alcohol, I bet as soon as that interview was over he was hitting the bottle.

It's his life, why do I care what he does? He doesn't affect me any, nor does he affect you. People are overly sensitive and overly involved in things that do not involve them in any way what so ever. Then again that is the world we live in isn't it? I think as long as he is diligently doing his job then we should stop snooping around in his life.
