The 10th season of Two and a Half Men typically airs on Thursday nights at 8:30pm on the CBS network. The cast includes Jon Cryer, Ashton Kutcher, Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor, and Marin Hinkle.

3.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 15.54 million total viewers.

Compared to its season premiere a year ago, the show was down by 67% in the demo (vs a 10.7 rating) and down by 56% in viewers (vs 28.74 million). That was the first Ashton Kutcher episode so obviously that was a very special case. Compared to the season five premiere in 2010, the season seven debut was down by 29% in the demo (vs a 4.9 rating) and down by 14% in viewers (vs 14.63 million) — even though it now has a better lead-in.
Reference point: The ninth season of Two and a Half Men averaged a 5.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 14.62 million viewers.
Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Two and a Half Men TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for an 11th season?

Cancel this POS! I got sick of seeing Allan running around in his underwear every freaking episode. Obviously the writers are either gay or bi as they try & work in some sort of homo erotic scene between Asshton character & Allan every other episode. The ones that don’t have Allan masturbating. Does anyone over the age of 13 think this is funny? They jumped the shark with “musical” number some weeks back. That’s when I turned off this loser for good.
Boring. Cancel it. Get Ashton back to pranking others.
After Charlie, the show has gone down the crapper. Magic is gone, the situations seemed forced and bland. Kutcher should stick to teen matinees and b movies as he has done his entire life.
I have seen some of the new episodes and have to say season 9 was horrible, season 10 is a little better, the actors are doing OK but I do not like the characters. AK character is ???!!! (there is no word to describe all that is wrong with him, completely wrong character for the show), than there is Alan – who should have by this stage in the series, turned gay or married again because his character that suited with Charlie perfectly (as his opposite), does not suite now at all, Jake is in the army – predictable considering… Read more »
I don’t see how anyone can stomach this show anymore…it has definitely ran its course…You can only make so many dick jokes and sexual references…it’s just not funny anymore…I can’t even sit through the re-runs with Charlie Sheen any longer without channel surfing 5 minutes into the program.
For sure cancel it. I refused to watch any post two and a half men without Charlie in it. It just doesnt work with anyone else. Even if you replaced Ashton with Brad Pitt. They should have fired Chuck Lorre! Really what Charlie did in his own time away from production is no ones business, especially Chuck’s. Get a life you loser!!
This sit com has ran it’s course.The kid is in the army and Allens character is pathedic. KILL THE SHOW.
Remember “Sanford and Son” spinoff without Redd Foxx? What’s the point?
gr8 show …even better with AK than Charlie something .
Ashton is amazing actor , and bring the Show to a whole new level with more stability and focusing on main charachters than before .
bottom line : Hope 2 see more Seasons
No Charlie, no show! I gave it a try but I couldn’t watch as faithfully as I still do the original on Channel 5 or FX; Charlie was funny and everyone else had a great chemistry around him and I just don’t see it with AK.
Waldo can’t act.
Alan over acts.
Jake grew up.
Charlie blew it.
This thing sucks.
Keep it in syndication, stop the embarrassment and give us a break
I tried watching the show but it really sucks with out charlie sheen. He and “jake” really made the show successful.
