Charlie Sheen looks to make a TV comeback following his spat with his showrunner Chuck Lorre during their time working on "Two and Half Men." Sheen's performance on that long-running sitcom earned him four Emmy nominations for his starring role. In the Lorre-created show, Sheen portrayed playboy Charlie Harper for eight years in one of the most successful comedies of the era. However, their collaboration ended in 2011 when Sheen was fired from the show.

Sheen was axed after verbal attacks on his boss following criticism of Sheen's excessive party lifestyle. After the firing, Sheen sued Lorre and Warner Bros. Television for $100 million, which was later settled. Sheen would go on to star in the poorly reviewed but 100-episode-running "Anger Management" for FX. In the following years, Sheen regretted the messy dispute and looked to patch things up with Lorre. 

Sheen and Lorre look to return to their WINNING ways in Max's "How to Be a Bookie." Viewers will have to see if the two still have their magic.
