Why is this series finished after just 2 seasons?

I imagine it's because they lost many of the original characters like Kate, Sam, Michael, and eventually Jennifer. At some point, the last few episodes were nothing like the first few episodes and no one was happy with the end product. Charlie Sheen called this show his redemption after his mistakes from Two and a Half Men, but it was halfway through the second season where he started making the very same ones and he forced production to get Selma Blaire (Kate) fired and rumor on this board has it that Daniela Bobadilla (Sam) quit shortly afterward in protest.

Because the original plan - what the original contract called for - was to produce 100 episodes as quickly as possible to sell the show into syndication. The agreement with FX called, if I recall correctly, for Sheen's production company to fund the first 10 episodes and then if the ratings reached a certain level for FX to pick up the production costs for the remaining 90. Sheen was to get a big cut of the profits from syndication under the deal with pre-airing estimates reaching $200 million.

The first 10 episodes hit the ratings mark so the rest of the contract terms kicked into play. But the ratings decline began almost immediately with the second season and then really started to plummet after Selma Blair was fired. (It seems rather hypocritical for Sheen to complain about being fired after publicly lambasting Chuck Lorre but then turns around and fires Blair after she complains privately about his on-set behavior). I believe the last 28 episodes were shown two per week because FX wanted to be done with it. They even aired at least one episode out of order because they obviously didn't care about the show any longer.

In any event, it seems - since only the insiders know the truth of the matter - that the show's ratings just didn't justify any more new episodes. The show was being soundly beaten in the ratings by nearly everything (including re-runs of other sit-coms and oddball reality shows) on cable when it was shown on Thursdays and fared only slightly better when it was moved to Mondays with two new episodes being shown back-to-back.

the show was a flop Charlie sheen should have stayed with two and a half men ashton Kutcher would have been great for anger management. it would have ran longer if ashton Kutcher did anger management instead of Charlie sheen

I totally agree !

I liked Anger Management from start to finish. But i really can't tell why they stopped. They should make another season.

This series was never meant to be ongoing, it was always intended to shoot for just enough episodes for syndication internationally. This show was a complete flop in the U.S. but in many other countries (surprisingly Sheen has a huge following across the Middle East) it's very popular. The series was a cash grab to capitalize on Sheen's antics and fame at the time and that's it.

It was always about the money and nothing more.

This show is junk food of TV made for the wrong reasons, trying to copy the success of another show.

It's pretty much as 'meh' as it gets. It's ok for awhile, but you can't really bingewatch this without dying of boredom. There are a few interesting episodes, I suppose, and some actors and acting performances, jokes and charisma might be above 'passable', but as a whole, this show is the type that if it disappeared from existence, no one would miss it.
