No big surprise here.
Now that Charlie Sheen has (thankfully) entered rehab, Two and a Half Men will go on a production hiatus in the meantime.
CBS and Warner Bros. Television made a joint statement on Friday saying, "We are profoundly concerned for his health and well-being, and support his decision."
Charlie needs A LOT of help and we hope he takes all the time he needs to REALLY recover. Looks like it could be a long time before Two and a Half Men comes back.

Wowsa!
Simon Baker just made a $30 million deal with Warner Bros. Television for his CBS show The Mentalist!
His five-year contract has been extended to an additional season, giving him a bigger cut of the show's syndication profits, as well as giving him a producer credit beginning in season five.
With the show currently in its third season, that means he will be getting $10 million a year for the next three years!!
The Mentalist has been a CBS hit, being one of the most DVR-ed shows on TV. Cray cray!
Good work, Simon! Great way to ring in the new year!

We're pumped for superheroes coming to TV!
After Marvel was acquired by Disney last year for $4 billion, they've started a push to TV with the launch of Marvel Television.
Their first superhero show is on the way, which is a live-action version of The Incredible Hulk.
As far as Hulk progress is concerned, they're currently searching for a writer. Assuming all goes according to plan, the rumors going around are that the show may hit the small screen mid-summer.
In other superhero-tv-related-news, Warner Bros. TV and DC Comics are working on a Wonder Woman series, being developed by David E. Kelley.
Both shows sound awesome! We'll def be curious to hear who they cast as the Hulk.
Are U excited for superheroes to hit the small screen?
