Love it or hate it, the show is hugely popular and I don't see why it should end with the loss of Charlie Sheen. I think they're missing an opportunity here to move in a different direction.
What I'd like to see:
Charlie is dead, just have a funeral episode to remove the character. Alan inherits all of his money and the house. He's well off now, we get to see how he reacts to the sudden life style change. Judith kicks Herb out on his ass and he shows up on Alan's doorstep. Alan now has a freeloader living in his house and has to deal with the role reversal of being the one put-upon by an unwanted house guest.
I think Ryan Stiles and Jon Cryer could carry the show. It's not like they've lost a great actor, or even the most interesting character on the show, so why quit now? Big mistake to simply quit just because one of the lead actors is a douche.
