{alltv} CBS stands by Charlie Sheen and his hit sitcom

 

 

PASADENA, Calif. – CBS' top entertainment executive says the network is concerned about Charlie Sheen's off-camera behavior but stands by him as the reliable star of a hit show.

CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler told TV reporters Friday that she has given a great deal of thought to Sheen on a "human level," including his role as a father. But she said the situation can't be viewed simplistically, calling him a professional who shows up for work on "Two and a Half Men" and does his job well.

Sheen's sitcom is a hit, Tassler said, adding, "that's all I have to say."

The actor's messy personal life has included a wild night that left a New York hotel room in tatters and sent Sheen to the hospital, and a guilty plea last summer to assaulting his wife in Aspen, Colo.

Sheen's legal issues haven't hurt "Men," which has remained part of the Top 20 prime-time shows ranked by Nielsen Co. since the hotel incident last year.
