'Two And A Half Men' Bomb Threat: Bronx Man Freddy Caldwell Threatens WPIX-11 Over Reruns

Charlie Sheen Not Dead

First Posted: 05/29/11 10:12 AM ET Updated: 07/29/11 06:12 AM ET

Freddy Caldwell, it seems, is taking Charlie Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" exit harder than others. That, or he really wants some new summer programming.

Caldwell, a Bronx, New York City resident, was arrested on Friday for calling in a bomb threat to local TV station WPIX-11, threatening to detonate the place if they didn't stop showing re-runs of the number one rated comedy, according to the New York Post.

Perhaps he couldn't handle the fact that the most recent season was cancelled early, due to Sheen's antics, and he couldn't live without the resolution. Or he couldn't handle the spectre of the show without the fired Sheen.

Of course, maybe he was disgusted by Sheen's insane ranting against the show's creator, among other people. Or, his coterie of live-in "Goddesses" and porn stars (though he's only down to a single, solitary Goddess, to be fair).

Then again, maybe he's just not ready for the Ashton Kutcher era.

Whatever the motivation, Caldwell let it cloud his technological judgment: police were able to easily trace the call back to his house, leading to his arrest for falsely reporting an incident and aggravated harassment.

Is "Freddy Caldwell" Charlie Sheen's pseudonym?

You think HP "meant" to display Sheen's pic with the story caption leading people to think he made the threat? Or just coincedence? LOL

Hey, i think Ashton Kutcher is the wrong choice for Two and a Half Men...he's too young and dumb!!! I believe a good choice would be Robert Downey Jr.!!!! although i think either he or Rob Lowe are perfect for the role, they're both very experienced and very very good actors and without one or the other of these 2, i think the show is doomed to fail.. but i also don't think Charlie Sheen should ever get another chance on the show because of how he went off about the boss and the boss heard it. Sheen got what he deserved when he got fired. He's an ASS anyway.I for one, can't stand him! he needs mental help or needs to spend some time in a jail cell,to learn that he is NOT above the law!!!

Whether the show survives with Kutcher or dies without Sheen my life will not be influenced.

It's difficult not to become conceited when I realize how many people enjoy this show. According to Jim was funnier, and that show was never funny.

The show is a bomb? Is that why it lasted as long as it did and they were able to afford paying Charlie so much?

Two and a half men is an ensemble style show; in the vein of Law and Order. Many of the funniest lines are delivered by the other characters in the cast. To think that the show will fail with the departure of one player is premature.

The man has a serious comprehension problem.

If he favors Charlie's performances he is obviously
a Sheen fan and has no understanding of the word
"residuals," the money that Sheen collects from those
same reruns he demands be stopped. Confused persona.
