TV show description:
Charlie Goodson (Charlie Sheen) is a non-traditional therapist who specializes in anger management. He has a successful private practice and holds sessions with his group of primary patient regulars each week. He also hosts pro bono counseling sessions for an inmate group at a state prison.
Prior to his becoming a therapist, Charlie was a stalled minor league baseball prospect. His road to the majors was sidetracked by his own struggle with anger issues. After a stint in therapy with the team’s psychologist, Kate Wales (Selma Blair), he made it to the majors and had one terrific season before his anger issues put him on the shelf for good. In the final game of his career, he tried to snap a bat over his leg, which resulted in a career-ending injury. That injury led him back to school and his current profession.
Charlie thrives on the chaos in his life while still battling his own anger issues. His life is complicated by his relationships with his therapist/best friend/sex partner Kate; his beautiful ex-wife Jennifer (Shawnee Smith) — whose positive outlook, but poor choice in men, frustrates Charlie; and their 13-year-old daughter, Sam (Daniela Bobadilla), who has OCD.
On top of that, he has to try to help his patients, like Patrick (Michael Arden), who have plenty of problems of their own. Lacey (Noureen DeWulf) is a spoiled rich girl who’s sent to join Charlie’s group after she shot her cheating boyfriend. Nolan (Derek Richardson) has the strangest anger issue of all — he has no anger.
Episode #100 — Charlie & the 100th Episode
Charlie has to make a decision between keeping his group and being a sports psychologist for his former baseball team. He takes the job for awhile but it’s not what he’d expected and he happily returns to helping his group.

Why do they cancel the best shows. This sitcom was awesome. They should go ahead and renew it. Loved the whole series.
Loved the show and hated that it was canceled. I watch the reruns over and over. I wish it would return to t.v. Charlie Sheen is a comic genius.
they should renew this series.I Love All the characters and cast they should keep this show on the air
They Should renew this show.It Was Getting Good and I Liked What the characters were getting to.
Never like Charlie. 2 and 1/2 men did prove to be his golden goose but he himself killed it with his so called meltdown. His personal problems and anger did make him $$$ again with this show however he in my opinion never got off first base. I did watch 2 1/2 men many times until it got so boring and stupid I just gave up on Charlie altogether and never bother to tune in to this show. I could not care one way or the other as I will never tune in to a show with someone who I… Read more »

the show was very good and wish it was getting renewed.
Don’t cancel! Enjoyed the half hour laughs!!
I liked the show period, & wish it had been renewed.
The show went down hill when Selma Blair left and they took the ex wife and daughter off the show,love brain Austin green but one good new character can not replace 3 good ones and counter act one additional bad one
this show should be renewed and go for a third season
this show should go for at least another season, will be sad to see it go, loved the charlie and sean character banter. Love the show want to see mooooore!
Its too bad its being canceled.
I think they finally hit their stride wit Charlie’s character.
Not too laid back, not ver the top part anuimal
