The season premiere of TWO AND A HALF MEN on Monday night drew a series-high 27.7 million total viewers, almost doubling the audience of the CBS sitcom's opener in 2010. The show replaced Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher and, after one week, it paid off. One of the surprises of the episode was the appearance of Dharma and Greg (former soap star Thomas Gibson). DHARMA & GREG was also created by Chuck Lorre. Watch their brief appearance below and find out how CASTLE and THE PLAYBOY CLUB performed in the ratings.
