Goodbye, Charlie Sheen, and good riddance.

The once-acclaimed star of the comedy television series "Two and a Half Men" got just what he deserved after his latest antics prompted CBS and Warner Bros. to shut down the show's production for the rest of this season.

Predictions are, the show won't be back, ever.

Who will Mr. Sheen lash out at now, the rest of the crew and production company whom he has created a hardship for? They're out of work, too. Will he blame the fans who supported him long after they should have changed the channel to another sitcom?

Mr. Sheen is clearly troubled and in need of help. He deserves to get it and every opportunity to resume his acting career after he's resolved his issues.

But his very bad public behavior - the insane parties, trashed hotel room, late-night visits to hospital emergency rooms and his luantic ravings on radio talk shows and celebrity websites - doesn't warrant the attention it's getting. There's already a bigger madman in the world, so no matter how vile you become, Mr. Sheen, you won't top Libya's Col. Moammar Gadhafi. And that's not a dare.

So enough already, Mr. Sheen. Please just go away and ruin your career and hurt your loved ones in private. Stop pretending you've got a handle on things because clearly you haven't.

The public (we'd question how many are fans anymore) is watching you as they would a train wreck. It's awful, it's disturbing, but no matter how hard they try, they can't avert their eyes. They're embarrassed for you. In fact, they're saying you make Lindsay Lohan look good, and that's bad.

Your considerable wealth and connections afford you, Mr. Sheen, more opportunities to get help than the average person. So take advantage of those resources, and please, do it quickly. Anything less is a waste of the talents you once displayed. That talent is gone, replaced with debauchery, and frankly, we're all sick of it.
