Television has always helped to set trends; who hasn’t seen something really cool worn by an actor on a television show and thought: ‘Wow, that looks great. I’d love to have one of those’? The popularity of the style is greatly related to the popularity of the show. And lately, the trend toward vintage shirts has bled onto television as well, and certain styles have made a huge comeback.
Charlie Sheen is the star of Two and a Half Men, and is mostly featured in the show wearing two-toned, short-sleeved bowling shirts over khaki shorts. The show is a huge hit, and as a result Charlie Sheen shirts have become very popular. Charlie Sheen has brought retro bowling shirts mainstream with his character (Charlie Harper) on Two and a Half Men, and the vintage shirts look great on him. As a result people think (maybe not even consciously), ‘Charlie Sheen wears those shirts, and they look hot. I need one of those bowling shirts.’
Designers and department stores watch trends. This includes popular television shows. The minute that Two and a Half Men became a hit, stores began carrying Charlie Sheen shirts, or bowling shirts. This makes the style more accessible, allowing more people to buy them, and making them even more popular. Men’s bowling shirts are usually quite reasonably priced, as well, which also helps with their mainstream popularity. You get a popular Charlie Sheen shirt, and a bargain? That’s a win-win for consumers. As long as a show has fans, there will be people who want to copy this style, and stores will carry them to make this possible.
Two and a Half Men premiered September 22nd, 2003, and it’s still going strong. This year’s season premiere had more than 15 million viewers, and a strong showing even up against Dancing With the Stars. It’s up seven percent over last year, and is very popular with adults age eighteen to forty-nine … who just happen to be the most coveted viewers of all. The viewers in this age group are coveted because they have more buying power than any other age group, and that is yet another reason that Two and a Half Men helps to make vintage shirts or bowling shirts more popular. A person in this age group is more likely to buy something they see on a television show that appeals to them, and Two and a Half Men has just the right kind of viewers for that.
Expect to see Charlie Sheen shirts around for a long, long time, because the popularity of Two and a Half Men isn’t going away anytime soon, it doesn’t look like. Bowling shirts are here to stay.
Sheen started acting in 1974 at the age of nine, appearing in a small role alongside his father in the television movie The Execution of Private Slovik. His film career began in 1984 with a role in the Cold War teen drama Red Dawn. Charlie had his first major role in the Vietnam War drama Platoon in 1986. His bad boy behavior, however, is rumored to have started long before then, as he was expelled from high school just weeks before graduation for a combination of poor grades and a tendency to not show up.
Charlie Sheen has a long history of brawling and drunken or drug-fueled accidents. Here’s a few of the highlights:
In 1990, he accidentally shot his then-fiancee, Kelly Preston, in the leg and though it was a minor wound, it needed two stitches. Their relationship ended shortly after the incident.
In 1995, Charlie Sheen was named as one of many clients who visited brothels owned by Heidi Fleiss in her court case. When questioned about this, Sheen responded “I love sex and I can afford it”.
In 1998, Sheen tried injecting cocaine, accidentally giving himself an overdose. He was hospitalized, but discharged from the hospital quickly. His father Martin reported him for violation of parole. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and Charlie was sent to rehab.
In 2005, Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen’s then-wife, while she was still pregnant with their daughter Lola, Richards filed for divorce, accusing him of abusing drugs and alcohol and threatening Richards with violence.
In 2009, Charlie Sheen was arrested on charges of domestic violence, including second-degree assault and menacing, against his wife Brooke Mueller.
In 2010, Charlie Sheen took a break from Two and a Half Men to voluntarily enter a rehab facility.
Despite all of this, Charlie Sheen’s sitcom Two and a Half Men is America’s Number One Comedy, according to CBS. People are lining up in droves to watch the show, and during the Winter Olympics last year, a re-run of the show beat both American Idol and the Olympics.
The the two-toned bowling shirts with a retro style and feel that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men are some of the hottest items in menswear this year. Charlie Sheen shirts are a must for the fashion conscious hipster.
In March of 2010, Sheen’s press representatives announced that he was leaving rehab and returning to work on the popular show. Charlie Sheen reportedly signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a whopping $1.78 million per episode. It appears that we’ll be seeing Charlie Sheen and his shirts on television for quite some time.
Two and a Half Men has been one of television’s most popular sitcoms since its very first show in 2003. The situational comedy features Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a 40-ish, aging playboy bachelor with a very successful career writing commercial jingles. His lifestyle becomes very cramped when his brother Alan (Jon Cryer) gets divorced and is forced to move in with him, bringing his 10 year old son Jake (Angus T Jones) with him. Alan is a lot more uptight than Charlie is, and also more than a little jealous of his lifestyle. There’s a stalker ex-girlfriend, a nosy housekeeper, and a self-centered mother, which makes for some funny, yet risque comedy. If you’re easily offended you should stay away, but if you like fearless comedy you should come on in and laugh awhile.
One other reason why Two and a Half Men is so popular is because that Charlie Sheen’s role as Charlie Harper is seen as skewering his own foibles and reputation. Charlie Sheen has long had the distinction of being one of Hollywood’s bad boys, having done several stints in rehab and numerous times in court (both divorce and criminal). He’s a famous client of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, reportedly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on her girls and services. He’s no stranger to domestic violence, or drug use. Just recently, in fact, after an altercation with his wife, he was formally charged with felony menacing, and third-degree assault and criminal mischief, both misdemeanors. He plead guilty to misdemeanor assault as part of a plea bargain where the other charges against him were dismissed.
And believe it or not, he is more popular than ever. The show is ”America’s Number-One Comedy,” according to CBS, and he just signed an agreement to return to the sitcom for another two years for a reported $1.78 million per episode. During the Winter Olympics, Two and a Half Men went up against them as a repeat, and still drew more than 10 million viewers. That’s very impressive, and it means that the show has some serious fans. It obviously does, with those kinds of numbers or a re-run.
And you know those two-toned retro-style bowling shirts that Charlie Sheen wears on Two and a Half Men? They’re some of the most popular menswear in stores today. Charlie Sheen shirts are flying off the shelves, and it is all due to the popularity of the show.
The show has its detractors, who say it is too crude and too cliched, but other fans don’t seem to mind, and CBS is sure to keep the same winning formula for its number one show. Two and a Half Men will be back next season, just the same as it was before.
There’s no doubt about it – Charlie’s prowess with the ladies is hands down impressive. Yes, we’re talking about ladies man Charlie Sheen, the actor who kept us all entertained as a soldier in Platoon, a young broker in Wall Street and the not-so-young, confused guy from Spin City.
