* CreatorBacklash: Angus T. Jones (who played Jake) left the show at the end of season 10 after he converted to Seventh-Day Adventism. He now treats it as an OldShame, claiming the show to be "immoral" and that he had been a "paid {{hypocrite}}" by starring on it. Though that ddin't stop him from making a cameo in the series finale.

* FollowTheLeader: Starting with Season 10, the show started to incorporate quite a small bit of the nerd-based humor that made ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' so popular. Justified in that the jokes are more fitting to Walden's character and background than the Charlie-esque storylines the show was still trying to use in Season 9... and the fact that Chuck Lorre produces both shows.

* CreatorBreakdown: The circumstances surrounding Creator/CharlieSheen's exit are an ''explosive'' example. His marriage to Brooke Mueller fell apart and he entered into a downward spiral of drinking and drug use. Then he began demanding that he be given an enormous raise (somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million per episode) and refused to come on set until CBS agreed. As this was happening, he began making bizarre public appearances and strange social media posts. In the end, the powers that be decided that Sheen wasn't worth the aggravation, fired him, killed Charlie off, and retooled the show by bringing in Ashton Kutcher.

* DyeingForYourArt: Creator/JonCryer's hair began to thin dramatically and, while he was open about it, the hair and makeup department used a powdered hair loss concealer to make it seem he still had a full head of hair. After the series ended, he shaved his head and grew a beard.

** Creator/April owlby, who later played Kandi, made an earlier appearance playing a woman in Charlie's shower, called "Bubbles."

-->"I know a lot of you might be disappointed that you didn't get to see Charlie Sheen in tonight's finale. For the record, he was offered a role. Our idea was to have him walk up to the front door in the last scene, ring the doorbell, then turn, look directly into the camera and go off on a maniacal rant about the dangers of drug abuse. He would then explain that these dangers only applied to average people. That he was far from average. He was a ninja warrior from Mars. He was invincible. And then we would drop a piano on him. We thought it was funny. He didn't. Instead, he wanted us to write a heart-warming scene that would set up his return to prime time TV in a new sitcom called The Harpers starring him and Jon Cryer. We thought that was funny too."
