Charlie Sheen DeemedThe Big Bang TheoryLame

Apart from starring inTwo and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen also made a guest appearance in Chuck Lorre’s other notable sitcom,The Big Bang Theory, in episode 4 of season 2,The Griffin Equivalency. However, he doesn’t have many fond words to say about theJim Parsons-led show that was scheduled to run after hisAnger Management, which started a year after his departure fromTwo and a Half Men.

Speaking withThe Guardian, Sheen stressed that apart from the kids, the sitcom doesn’t have any saving grace.

Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men

I’m sorry, but Big Bang Theory is a piece of sh-t – it’s a stupid show and it’s just lame, about lame people. I like the kids in it, but that show without us as a lead-in is… goodbye. And I’m rooting for those kids, because I know who they’re dealing with. The fact that they’re still sane is crazy.

He also took a dig at showrunner Lorre during his rant about the sitcom, jokingly stating that the showrunner is a bad man and that this is the reason he backed away from him.

Johnny Gelacki, who played the fan-favorite Leonard on the aforementioned sitcom, also vented his frustrations against Sheen, as his departure risked the jobs of the crew ofTwo and a Half Men. As a result, the actor was against appearing in 2011’s Emmys, as Sheen was announced to be the presenter at the ceremony.

I even told Warner Bros. I was going to boycott the Emmys that year because of Charlie. He was putting hundreds of people’s jobs in peril, so I told Warner Bros., ‘Sorry’.

But after taking into account that he could score a win for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series, Galecki decided to attend the ceremony to avoid Sheen potentially taking the accolade on his behalf.
