Eliot Spitzer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anthony Weiner. Americans are all too familiar with the story of a politician's fall from grace. Law & Order: SVU guest star Kyle MacLachlan says that doesn't make watching the downfall any less fascinating.
"When we look at our politicians, they appear to us to be, and they present themselves as being, completely in control and on top of everything. I think that's what we like to think that they are...

Question: I watch Two and a Half Men for some light, escapist entertainment. I enjoy the laughs and the double entendres. But really, that all stems from the writing. In fact, the Alan-centric episodes are some of the best ones. I wouldn't mind seeing more Berta, either. The Jake character is now of an age where he's picking up more of the storylines. If Charlie moved to London with Rose and his doppelganger cousin came to live in the house, they could keep a ladies man/lush character (if they feel that the show absolutely needs one). In a way, I'm disappointed that they've decided to end the season with no new episodes. Maybe they would have shown that the show could still be popular without the Sheen character. Nonetheless, I am glad that the powers that be saw how far off the reservation Sheen really is and said enough is enough. What's your take on the future of the show? Is it DOA without Charlie Sheen? — Karen
