Anger Management — Charlie Sheen Comedy Series
Anger Management is an American television sitcom starring Charlie Sheen as a former baseball player turned anger management therapist. Based on the 2003 Adam Sandler/Jack Nicholson film of the same name, the series ran for 100 episodes (2012-2014) on FX and became one of the most-watched comedies on cable television during its run. This channel streams the series for Australian and international audiences.
The show arrived at a fascinating moment in Charlie Sheen's career — after his very public departure from Two and a Half Men (where he'd been the highest-paid actor on television at $1.8 million per episode), Anger Management represented his comeback. The irony of Charlie Sheen — who'd had his own very public anger and behavioral issues — playing a therapist who helps others manage their anger was not lost on anyone, and the show leaned into this self-awareness.
Anger Management features Sheen as Charlie Goodson, who runs group and individual therapy sessions with a cast of colorful characters dealing with anger issues. The ensemble includes Selma Blair, Shawnee Smith, Daniela Bobadilla, and Michael Arden. The show blends workplace comedy, relationship humor, and the inherently funny premise of deeply flawed people trying to become less angry — with mixed results.
