`Two and a Half Men` gets nod for tenth season

Los Angeles: TV sitcom `Two and a Half Men` will entertain the audience for ten consecutive years after its renewal contract.

In addition to the new deal, actor Ashton Kutcher, who is a replacement of former cast member Charlie Sheen, will also receive a small raise in the paycheck with fellow actors, reported a website. CBS has agreed to the license agreement with series producer, Warner Bros TV. According to a source, Kutcher, 34, will get a pay hike making his income USD 725,000 per episode instead of USD 700,000. While his co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones will have to settle for a lesser amount. After Kutcher replaced Sheen in the 9th season, the viewership of the show experienced a slight dip following an early recovery that made it the No 3 primetime comedy in adults behind `Modern Family` and `The Big Bang Theory`.
