(Newser) – Ashton Kutcher still has a job: CBS has officially picked up Two and a Half Men for a 10th season, reports the Hollywood Reporter. The renewed deal gives Kutcher and co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones raises, with Kutcher reported to now be making $725,000 an episode, up from his current $700,000. Two and a Half Men hit a minor slump late last season, but pulls in solid ratings and significant cash for CBS.

I quit watching after the first episode without Charlie. Anyone left watching must be new viewers, who were just curious, and have never seen the original show with Sheen. Either that, or Chuck Lorre is paying CBS to retain it...

That doesn't change the fact the show sucks without Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher is still an overpaid idiot with no talent.
