What's the hashtag gonna be if this tanks?

Well now, it seems that the ratings for Charlie Sheen's return to television might be falling faster to Earth than, well...Charlie Sheen. Anger Management, airing on FX, recently experienced a forty percent drop in the ratings from the debut week, losing about two million viewers down to 3.3 million.

Could be worse. I mean, we are talking about the FX network here. Still though, while the first season has a guaranteed ten episode run, there is reportedly a 90 episode deal with distributor Debmar-Mercury hanging in the wings waiting to see how this pans out. Personally, I kind of dig the show. Sheen has a bit of a better backstory this time around, and a little bit better cast in the long run. Yeah, say what you want about whatever the hell that kid's name is, and Jon Cryer had his moments with a one-note character, but this show seems to pull the best aspects Sheen was working with on Two and a Half Men, and puts it together with something with a bit more teeth.

Yeah, I said there was more teeth to a role of a skirt-chasing therapist than that of a skirt-chasing jingle writer. Sue me. Just check this out on the off-hand chance it survives to a second season, and to see if Selma Blair's character will ever whip out the sweater meat in a meaningful way, by which I mean the audience (by which I mean me) can enjoy. FACE THE DAMN CAMERA, ALREADY!
