yeah we were hoping Sheen returned - but that was the LAST EVER EPISODE - that had no effect on how 'popular' the show was in the Kutcher years
they had to make no effort in pulling through those years - another member of the original cast ripped into the show (because you know, religion is stupid) then left and the show STILL lasted two more seasons after that - the Ashton years were in no way a failure - the ratings were still passable for CBS, it lasted four years with another cast change later on - it was still a big news story at times (Angus' stupid rant, his exit, Amber Tamblyn's introduction, The final season gay marriage storyline and the series finale) - those were still big news stories
People talked about it - people still loved it (me included), I'd agree that it was a failure if CBS cancelled it after the 9th or 10th season but another 4 seasons post sheen is in no way a failure
