HOLLYWOOD - The creator, producer, and writer of the hit situation-comedy Two and A Half Men, Chuck Lorre seems to keep trying to outdo himself.
And it appears that taking Lorre's track record into account he does have a pretty good feel for what the viewing audience will accept and not accept.
For example, according to Achtung Zumwalt of TV ClickerWorld, back in 2003, before the pilot of the show was even filmed the part of Charlie Sheen's character Charlie Harper was to have been played by Pee Wee Herman.
And the part of his brother Alan Harper which is now played by Jon Cryer was going to be portrayed by Andy Dick.
But after sitting through several script reads Lorre realized that Herman and Dick just did not seen to mesh. For one thing they looked about as much a like as Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian do.

And so Lorre went with his secondary choices and decided on Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer.
He also replaced the original actress Kathy Bates who was to have played the housekeeper Berta with Conchatta Ferrell after he realized that Kathy was just not fat enough to play the overly plumpish housekeeper.
And now according to Tahiti Zeppelin of Hollywood Hors D'oeuvres comes word that "King Midas" Lorre has made another addition to the cast that will surely increase the ratings even more.
Chuck Lorre has announced that he has signed Lindsay Lohan, to appear in several episodes of his hit show. LiLo will be starring as Dr. Gwendolyn "Bambi" Butterbush, Walden Schmidt's (Ashton Kutcher) new sexy sex therapist.
And Lorre is pulling out all of the stops as he will be giving Lohan's character the same type of personality that Jennifer Aniston gave to her character, Dr. Julia Harris, the lasciviously erotic, sensuous. nymphomaniacal dentist in the movie Horrible Bosses.
SIDENOTE: Chuck Lorre has stated that he has signed Lindsay Lohan to appear in 3 episodes with an option to appear in 7 more.
