Charlie Sheen Handpicks Best ‘Two and a Half Men’ Episodes for Pre-‘Anger Management’ Marathon

Three more days will see Charlie Sheen once again unleashed on all our television screens, with the debut of Sheen's post 'Two and a Half Men' vehicle 'Anger Management.'  Ever since FX picked up the project, very loosely adapted from the 2003 film of the same name, eyes and ears have been on Sheen to see how he'd handle his first gig after exiting CBS' powerhouse sitcom.  Still, who needs hard feelings?  The Ma-Sheen wants you to see the very best of 'Men' first!

Perhaps attempting to bury the hatchet, FX has announced that it will air a marathon of the best 24 episodes of 'Two and a Half Men, hand-picked by its former star himself, none other than Charlie Sheen.  Beginning Thursday, June 28 at 9:00 a.m. the 'Two and a Half Men' marathon will serve as a lead-in to the premiere of Sheen's new FX sitcom 'Anger Management.'

Of course, it's hot-topic to see Sheen having anything to do with 'Two and a Half Men,' again, given his spectacularly fiery exit and public meltdown, but the actor had his own words to say on letting bygones be bygones:

As I culled through the mass of shows, eight-plus years, I was met with a theme of innocence.  These are the memories that I take from this epic time. Not necessarily the work, but the experiences, the friendships created instantly and over time. I hope viewers share a similar feeling or two and a lot of laughs when they tune in.

Who cares how it ended?  When it was good, it was great. We were in the middle of something big, the return of the sitcom. We were hungry and we were winning.
