Charlie Sheen reportedly negotiating for new comedy series; we don't hold our breath

Would you watch Charlie Sheen in a new sitcom? Because he's reportedly talking about starring in one. Maybe.According to TMZ, the go-to outlet for people on Team Sheen to leak news, the fired "Two and a Half Men" star is considering a "big offer" for a broadcast network comedy that will be written for him, will go straight to series and could be on the air by midseason.
Which network? Doesn't say. Who's writing and producing it? Doesn't say. So aside from those two small details, you know, done deal!
Back in February, just after Warner Bros. and CBS fired Sheen, he claimed he was developing a show for HBO and would be paid $5 million an episode for it. That didn't happen. His live tour did come together, playing to mixed results. Sheen himself isn't saying anything about the reported deal; he's been silent on Twitter for the past six days.
The deal will allegedly be officially announced by the end of the week. We're going to go out on a limb and say that the new show, if it indeed exists, won't air on CBS.

I hope it's true. He should've never been fired. We miss you, Charlie!
Who cares? Not I.
I hope it's true. He should've never been fired in the first place. We miss you, Charlie!
Garrick: You care enough to read the post and comment the news.
I hope its true too! I'll be watching!
The Office, new manager...make it happen!
I wouldn't put it past Dunder Mifflin to hire him!
I hope the drug addict never works again, and ends up homeless and forgotten. It would be nice if these :celebrities" weren't all spoiled brats.
Hope it is true ! I will watch it asap ! But given the sources are TMZ.. and Sheen himself doesn't speak about it i will wait some official announcement. Above all i would love to see him come back on movies, first of all he is a movie star.
p.s: the HBO offers and 5 millions per epi was some jokes/provocation made on his wacky, colorful medias blitz, interviews..come on Zap2it everybody knows that.
From latín América, we want you back
I hope his new series is a huge hit and Two and a half man gets cancelled.
