You know how TMZ just repeats everything a celebrity team feeds them lately without really questioning it or using common sense? (See their Lohan coverage.) I’m hoping that’s the case for this latest story that Charlie Sheen is in “deep negotiations” for his own sitcom in which he’ll be surrounded by a team of sycophants who don’t make him stop smoking crack or paying the stars of the “Barely Legal” porn series to keep him company for as long as they can stand it. Supposedly Charlie is just about to score a full series sitcom, not just a one-off test pilot, that will be aired on a “major network.”
Sources connected with Charlie Sheen tell TMZ … the actor is negotiating a “big offer” for a new TV series that could debut as early as January, 2012.
We’re told Charlie’s reps are in “deep negotiations” and the deal could be done by week’s end.
Our sources say the sitcom is being written specifically around Charlie and will air on a broadcast network. The deal does not call for a pilot. The show would go straight to series.
Our sources would not reveal details about the sitcom, except to say Chuck Lorre is NOT involved.

Is Charlie just going to play himself again? That’s the only way I could see this playing out. Charlie’s insane creative ramblings channeled onto a sitcom instead of a ranting stage show that’s hit or miss depending on his level of sobriety. He did get huge ratings when he was spewing his drug-addled life philosophy on 20/20 and to any outlet that would listen to him. I don’t see this deal going through, though. Deadline agrees, and report that sources rule out the major three networks as having any interest in him. They break down the networks we’ve heard that Charlie was potentially negotiating with in the past, including Fox and HBO. HBO is out, since his proposed plan for a talkshow with HBO, “Sheen’s Corner,” predictably fell through. They quote a studio executive who states the obvious, the career-killer, The “Lohan” – “He is uninsurable.”
Still, I’d watch it. I try not to slow down when there’s an accident but sometimes you just can’t help it.

No.
What will it be I wonder? (sarcasm).
A take on his life with his porno star girlfriends?
Didn’t people already have that with the Playboy Mansion?

I’d watch it. Charlie, regardless of his personal crazy issues, is a good actor (or at least was).

It would make sense that a network like HBO would be interested in Charlie. His tour was a bust, WTH. I refuse to be an onlooker for this self-inflicted train-wreck

It’s not hard to act when you’re just being yourself. Nope.

No thanks. I didn’t watch his other show and I have zero interest in any new show he might be in. I’m not sure how anyone could suspend the reality of “Charlie Sheen” long enough to believe him in a sitcom, movie, whatever. When you get too famous, or infamous, just being you, you can’t go back to being someone else. I hope whatever show he’s in fails and he goes back to living under a rock.

i will be more apt to watch charlie on a NEW series than i will watch ASSHOLE KUTCHER on the old show that’s for SURE ! But Charlie MUST wear his teeth on the new show, please?

No. And wow…meth teeth?
He had a couple of weeks of huge media presence and now…not so much. Anyone looking to cash in on him has missed the boat.

Absolutely not. Drug abuse and mental illness aside, he abuses women and that’s so f…ing unacceptable. I truly believe those who watch him are giving a pass to his behavior.

no.
he looks like death warmed up. “junkie” is written all over his face. pretty disgusting.
And even though I do not wish death upon him, I doubt he will be alive long enough to actually do this show, if he doesnt get his shit together and since he shows neither remorse nor a will to change that is not going to happen.

No way. Stick a fork in him…he’s done.

Well I kinda of see that this could be happening. It would explain why he suddenly got so quite.
He has been off the grid for over a month. No crazy rants.
I suspect he could be drying out. Somewhere expensive. And not in California.
As crazy as he got. He has not gotten crazy enough to want to cut off his cash flow. Forever.
And if Charlie got clean. He could get insured.

Depends on the show. If it’s good, yes. If not, no.
I think it should be a sitcom in a medical marijuana clinic. Charlie could be the dispenser at the dispensary.
Or, he could be the CEO of a porn studio. He’d be great at that!

I never watched his previous show so I see no reason to watch any other projects he is involved with…

This is Charlie Sheen now, hard to believe! He used to be so incredibly hot in every way. He was good looking, great career potential, and that voice (yummy voice). Two lessons to learn from this:
1. take your meds
2. don’t do drugs
Probably would watch new show at least once just to see if he can read lines anymore. SO sad.

NO, for all the reasons listed above, and also because of what this monster did to Denise’s dog.

I think Charlie is a train wreck like Lilo, and I cannot bear to watch people like that self-destruct. I think the press should leave them alone until they are well. What’s going on by not giving sick people privacy is like watching the lions eat the Christians our civilization is going backward, that is also painful to watch.
