CBS and Warner Bros. Television announced on Friday that Ashton Kutcher signed on the dotted line to replace Charlie Sheen's hedonistic jingle writer Charlie Harper on the hit sitcom "Two And A Half Men." But does the former “That 70’s Show” star really have what it takes to make the series as successful as Sheen did?

"Ashton was a wise casting choice, they managed to keep a still-successful and major money-making show alive by casting a well-known talent who knows his way around a sitcom stage," TV Guide's LA Bureau Chief, Michael Schneider, told FOX411's Pop Tarts column.

But according to entertainment reporter and pop culture expert Scott Huver, the 33-year-old probably doesn't have the prowess to ensure CBS sitcom will continue to be a ratings success.

"I don't think the addition of Kutcher guarantees any longevity for the series – people will check out his first few episodes and see if it clicks for them from there," Huver said.

The writers will certainly have to alter their comedy slightly, to fit Ashton, but I think it could work.  Not that I regularly watched the show before.

Simply stated, the best sit-coms have a half life of about seven years.  After that, just about every possible situation has been portrayed, and the faithful begin to tune out. 

In my humble opinion, just about anyone could play the role that has comic talent.  The real star in my humble opinion is the fellow that plays his brother, and not Charlie Sheen.  The lines uttered by Sheen could be played by 1,000 actors.

The show has been on for about seven years, and so they are only extending what would have been a demise by one or two years anyway.

Sheen must have one hell of an agent to see to it he has obtained as much work as he has.

For me he will be best known for destroying California and letting that kid get hardly any prison time for murder.
