From Monday the Daily Edition of Australia’s Funniest Home Videos on Nine is no more.

Charlie Sheen starts all over again with Two and a Half Men –right from the Pilot episode (which is a bit of a concern for what that might mean).

Will news of his personal life now affect the show’s following?

You have been warned….

  2. How can this Two and a Half Looneys rate more than the Temptation and long before that Sale of the Century Episodes remains unknown.Did Nine ever think of the people who were used to close to thirty years of an intelligent show only to have it taken away from them at 7pm weeknights.

  4. I would rather them have Ed Phillips and Livinia Nixon back anytime on Temptation or bring them in for a 21st Century The Price is Right for 2010 then have to suffer one more year or more of this 2.5 men garbage.
    I went out the other week trying to find a Temptation Game Show Set in the Toy Department at my local Kmart.Guess What Thanks to this Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer Crap they don’t even make those anymore.Shameful

  5. Nine should shove this show in the same scrapheap as the Now Long Gone Channel Niners,C’Mon Kids and Heres Humphrey But unlike those Childrens Programmes Never to be seen again at 7pm weeknights.
    It could be worse they use 2.5 men to fill the 3:30pm timeslot when there is no HI 5.

  6. All they need to do is find some new hosts for Temptation.

    I remember as a kid back in the mid to late eighties 7pm was game show time in our home right after A Current Affair with Sale of the Century.Shows like that made us all that little bit smarter.

  7. Please let these 2.5 men die.I would rather they had gone back to the drawing board to produce a Home Grown Comedy like what we had some twenty years ago and put some Australians into work than put up with crap imports of this type

  10. @Earthquake, yeah i know, which sucks because H&A is crap and i rather watch HIMYM, but i was just pointing out HIMYM seems to have gained a larger following, i’ve noticed that in my group anyway, that everyone is now into HIMYM. Hope it means people may have switched, and maybe it’s a sign Nine have killed 2.5 Men’s popularity by playing it so much. They did the same with Gordon Ramsey. In one year he went from several nights a week with top ratings, to getting smashed in ratings and taken off Nine. Wishful thinking this is what happens to 2.5 Men this year

  13. I’ve never seen an episode of 2.5 men – I must be the only one. But can you really blame Nine if the public keep watching? It’s all Ten’s fault for continuing to show the abysmal 7pm Project.

  14. Nine’s got Hot Seat and several Millionaire specials this year (the specials prob. 7:30 once a week. ), I’d doubt they would try the Sale type format a 3rd time around (well Charlie Sheen’s show is very popular with viewwrs these day.

  15. I think Ch9 should show 2.5 men from 12 midnight until 11.59pm every day on Ch9 Third Channel (I would suggest Go! but that would offend Go viewers)

    How bout some originality!!!

  17. See this is why I don’t want 10 to axe the 7pm project. My family watches the 7pm project where they used to watch 2.5 men during dinner. Even I used to sit there saying this episode was on a few weeks ago. One day 9 will just run it for hours and hours a night. The sad thing is it will never get axed in the states because it rates so high. Its jsut a shame that 9 can’t come up with an australian show to replay.

  18. @tasmanian devil, this is why I’ve been watching more Austar than ever this summer, I’d say a good 75%, the remaining 25% is mostly made up of GO!, ABC and SBS… not much from Seven, Nine or TEN.

    And on a side not after next Monday I probably will drop Top Gear from my FTA viewing, BBC Knowledge has the guys on 7 days a week!

  20. @michael – don’t you think we would change channels if it was worth it? The problem is there is literally nothing else good on FTA television in this timeslot, unless you wanted to watch the news on ABC or SBS. It would be great if 9 brought back Temptation – a decent show for once in this timeslot. But alas, Australia prefers this, and if you were 9 and had to choose between a show that frequently rates over one million and one that doesn’t…

  21. All of my friends have suddenly jumped on the How I Met Your Mother bandwagon and now seem to love that. Hopefully it means the end of 2.5 Men and people are over it.

  22. Anything is better than that godawful dirge on 10 at 7….
    I’ll be more interested when 9 starts showing the new episodes though.

    Not that repeats worry me. I have this neat trick when there’s nothing on that I like, I’ll share it. I turn the TV off and do something else. Radical stuff, I know, and not nearly as productive as whining, but still….
