Now that it’s official that Charlie Sheen will be in the TV version of Anger Management, the focus now turns to who will wind up with the show and whether or not Charlie will behave, at least according to industry watchers.

There is quite a bit of speculation as to what network, if any, will wind up picking up the pilot that Sheen will be filming once casting and all are completed. But there is little fear that he won’t wind up somewhere. The bet is currently TBS who has shown an interest as a cable channel of having original comedies like Tyler Perry’s House of Pain, etc. But it could be just about anybody. Heck Sheen has got to be better than Mega-Croc. Maybe SyFy should pick up the series. Anyway, with contracts and shows moving across the cable, there is no reason we can see that the show couldn’t start there and then be picked up later on by a regular network like Fox or something.

As to the behavior part, there is some concern in the blogosphere that because Sheen gave up 1.8 million an episode in a dispute with Two and Half Men producer Chuck Lorre, that he may not be willing to stick it out should things not go as well as planned. Being on a cable network and being on CBS are two different things. But the difference is that he will not be getting a per episode salary like in the past, but a percentage of the take. And so, it’s really in his best interest to make it work and create a successful show. If he can bring in the numbers, even a quarter of his previous audience, he stands to make a fortune, more than he would have made getting regularly paid. But if you listen to Lionsgate and the show’s production company (run by his manager), there is no concern at all, by them or by producer Joe Roth, who worked with Sheen on movies such as Major League and others, that he won’t bring home the bacon.

As for us, we have to admit that we’d love to see Sheen back on TV. If they can get it all together quick enough, we could perhaps by late fall or early 2012.
