Ashton Kutcher Sets 'Two and a Half Men' Record
LOS ANGELES – Ashton Kutcher's 'Two and a Half Men' debut set a ratings record for the show.
The first episode of the sitcom's ninth series – in which Ashton has replaced sacked Charlie Sheen – got 27.7 million viewers, more than double the number who watched the first episode of season eight in 2010.
The show introduced Ashton's billionaire character Walden Schmidt, who spent most of the episode naked.
