After being fired from “Two and a Half Men,” Charlie Sheen, probably the most controversial and flamboyant actor in the television industry, was rescued from his misery by FX, who saw his figure as a perfect media center to get a high performance at a low cost; and this seems to work.<\/p>\n

Season two of “Anger Management” began in January and the big surprise of the season was the appearance of Lindsay Lohan this week. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Lohan\u2019s cameo for FX’s comedy was released before the actress started her latest 90-day rehab.<\/p>\n

The script introduces us to Charlie Goodson, a former baseball star who lost his career due to an uncontrollable rage. Years after his disgrace, Charlie has become a psychologist specializing in the treatment of people who, like himself, are victims of unbridled rage.<\/p>\n

Lohan, instead, plays herself in the sitcom, a famous actress in rehab, who falls in love with her therapist, Dr. Goodson, with whom she develops a purely satisfactory sexual relationship. It was Lohan\u2019s first TV appearance since she portrayed Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s “Liz & Dick.”

Sheen became known to television audiences through his Golden Globe Award-winning lead role in “Spin City.” In 2003, Sheen was cast as \u201cCharlie Harper\u201d in the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” which was loosely based on Sheen’s bad boy image.<\/p>\n

Sheen now stars on FX\u2019s “Anger Management,” after being fired from the CBS network due to his\u00a0series of bizarre interviews trashing his bosses at CBS and Warner Brothers.<\/p>\n

“Anger Management” is a sitcom that in my opinion, uses mediocre, coward and an unfortunate sense of humor. It is the perfect example of TV\u2019s art of using a negative image to display brilliance in hopes of ratings.<\/p>\n

I am not saying that the show is a fiasco, but every episode seems to be the same story: Dr. Goodson develops a sexual relation with his patients.<\/p>\n

Although the show broke a ratings record with 5.74 million viewers on its series debut night in 2012 and ranks as the most-watched sitcom premiere in cable history; this show is simply confusing and nonsense with a too-rapid of a pace.<\/p>\n

Something is missing in this sitcom. There are details that do not fit. It may be that I\u2019m stuck in the same story over and over again; or simply the format does not ever meet my expectations.<\/p>\n
