Anger Management -- Thursdays (FX)

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us


I don't plan to watch this, but I figured I would do you all a favor and post a thread.

In case you didn't know, this was renewed for 90 episodes.

This show will air every Thursday non-stop on FX for the next 2 years.

2 episodes aired tonight

Episode 1 - "Charlie Loses it at a Baby Shower" (Airs January 17, 9:00 pm e/p) - Charlie blows up at his sister's baby shower. Written by Michael Loftus; directed by Steve Zuckerman.


Episode 2 - "Charlie's Dad Starts to Lose It" (Airs January 17, 9:30 pm e/p) - Charlie isn't sure if his father, Martin, is developing Alzheimer's. Written by Clay Graham; directed by Andy Cadiff.



Martin Sheen has joined the cast as a series regular. He will be playing none other than Charlie's Dad....named Martin. Go figure.


Let the smartass, sarcastic comments begin saying this show is a piece of shit and the worst FX show ever...blah blah blah.

Never watched it, have no plans to, but FX really feels that strongly about this show that they're willing to commit to producing 2 episodes a week for close to 2 years? That's gutsy. And stupid. Maybe this is some sort of new plan to be able to get a show into syndication quicker than any show in history.

Someone at FX must have Charlie in their death pool.

It comes down to 2.5 Men was huge when he was on it. When FX airs the reruns of that it gets really good numbers. So it seems they really wanted to be in the Sheen business.

I watched the first season. It was too light. Not what I expected. I hope they grow some balls this year.

It's actually only 1 episode per week for the next 2 years. Premiere was the exception.

And yes, it was already sold into syndication.

While you're correct that they're only going to be airing one a week, Charlie did an interview where he was talking about the schedule, and they are actually producing 2 shows a week now. I think he said the typical schedule for it is Monday and Tuesday is one show, Wednesday is an off day, and then the second show is done Thursday and Friday.

Nothing says quality like a super rushed production schedule.

Welcome to the 10/90 by Lionsgate.
