Anger Management, Fx | featured news

FX is ordering 90 more episodes of "Anger Management," Charlie Sheen's TV comeback vehicle after being fired from "Two and a Half Men." The unusually large order reflects the original agreement that FX made for the sitcom that stars Sheen as a therapist.

Charlie Sheen says he's not insane anymore. Instead, these are good days for the "Anger Management" star, he declares, with his FX sitcom half-way through its initial 10-episode run and poised to get an order for 90 more. Sheen told reporters Saturday that the prospect of continuing is as "exciting as hell," and added cheerily, "I don't think 90's gonna be enough."

The odds are "overwhelming" that FX Network will purchase an additional 90 episodes of Charlie Sheen's new comedy "Anger Management," the channel's president said Saturday.

Anger Management ranked as cable’s most-watched primetime scripted comedy series premiere in total viewers and 18-49, eclipsing Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne on TBS, which opened with a 5.2 million. Like House Of Payne, which grew to 5.8 million for the second episode of its two-episode premiere, Anger Management gained too, averaging 5.74 million total viewers and 2.89 million adults 18-49s for its 9:30 PM episode.

Charlie Sheen, he of the career rage, spousal assault charges and hotel-room rampage, stars in a new FX television series, “Anger Management,” that begins on June 28.

Fired "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen will try to return to a winning TV sitcom next summer in FX's new "Anger Management."
