© Michael Buckner/GettyAfter Roseanne‘s cancellation in the wake of a racist tweet by star Roseanne Barr, Charlie Sheen has an idea for a reboot to fill that nostalgia void.The 52-year-old actor took to Twitter to say “good riddance” to the sitcom canned by ABC and tout a revival of his former show Two and a Half Men.“adios Roseanne! good riddance. hashtag NOT Winning. the runway is now clear for OUR reboot,” he wrote on Tuesday, adding the hashtag #CharlieHarperReturns and a photo of a script.
Jon Cryer, Sheen’s costar on the long-running CBS comedy, retweeted the post with a message: “What could possibly go wrong?”
Two and a Half Men ran for 12 seasons from 2003 until 2015. However, Sheen’s contract was terminated in 2011 after the star entered a rehabilitation center and verbally attacked the show’s creator, Chuck Lorre, in a number of interviews. Ashton Kutcher stepped in for the remainder of the sitcom’s run as a new character.

The backlash has been fierce ever since Barr, an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, tweeted a since-deleted attack on former Barack Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, who is black, during a racist Twitter rant overnight Monday.
“Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj,” she wrote, using Jarrett’s initials in response to a tweeted conspiracy theory about the Obama administration.

“Guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible [sic]. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please,” she added.
