At TCA, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler gave details on Ashton Kutcher’s Two and a Half Men character. Basic details: his name will be Walden Schmidt, and he’ll be playing an “internet billionaire with a broken heart.” There’s no word yet if Charlie’s character will be killed off during the season premiere, but the season premiere will be a two-parter.

All sounds great, and I may actually watch just to see the big hoopla, but what’s with the name Walden? I don’t get it. I don’t know anyone named Walden under the age of 60. My apologies if there are any Gasmii named Walden under the age of 60…but Walden? Were one of the writers inspired by Thoreau?

    Ashton Kutchner is going to be an internet billionaire, which would kind of imply that Ashton Kutchner is smart. Crap, I think I just pulled my suspension of disbelief.

    TPTB are saying yes, Charlie Harper will be dead. The two-part opener will include his funeral, attended by a parade of his ex-girlfriends and one night stands.

    There will also be a bunch of TV “stars” looking at the beach house before it’s sold to Waldo…or whatever the guy’s name is.

    Actually WaffleBoy, although it’s hard to believe, Ashton Kutcher is incredibly smart. He was studying bio-medical engineering for a few years before he ended up in modeling. I don’t know about you, but where I’m from, bio-medical engineering is the hardest discipline you can do – and none of the engineering choices (mechanical, chemical etc.) are exactly easy. He doesn’t usually come off as smart though…

    Also, Walden Schmidt is THE WORST NAME EVER. Seriously.

    I don’t think I’ll be watching this. I never really liked the original and Ashton Kutcher isn’t exactly Meryl Streep in the talent department. When I read that the exec called him an “extraordinary” actor I choked on my coffee…

    Nads, you work in TV, tell me: how is it considered a two-part premiere when the two parts are a week apart?
    Isn’t that just episodes 1 and 2???

    I knew a kid in elementary school who’s parents had a baby and let him name it – the name? Walden.

    So odd.

    Could be worse. My grandparents allowed my dad to name his baby sister. He named her Cinderella.
