CBS has cancelled the current series of "Two and A Half Men"after a foul-mouthed rant by Charlie Sheen, the show's star.
The television network said it had cancelled production for the rest of this season because of Sheen's "statements, conduct and condition".
On Thursday Sheen launched an expletive-filled verbal attack against the producer of the comedy, just days before he was due to return to work after a month in rehab.
In an interview on a syndicated radio program and in remarks to celebrity website TMZ.com, Sheen called "Two and A Half Men" producer and co-creator Chuck Lorre a man who "chose not to do his job," a "piece of shit" and a "stupid, stupid little man ..."
"I was told if I went on the attack, they would cancel the show," Sheen said of his bosses on the Alex Jones Show, a radio program based in Texas that airs on more than 60 stations across the United States.
"Two and a Half Men" is a huge money generator for the broadcaster and production company, and earlier this year the network said it was "highly concerned" about Sheen.
