It's been rumored the past couple days, but it has been confirmed that Selma Blair has exited the FX show Anger Management. Lionsgate cited that Blair will "not return to the show" but didn't really specify why. The rumors rolling around are that Blair and co-star Charlie Sheen have been fighting and that Sheen threatened to quit if Blair wasn't fired.
Blair played Kate, Sheen's therapist who doubled as his sort-of girlfriend. There is no word on who will replace the character void on the show yet. The show returned to FX in January for 90-episodes of the 100-episode order than FX placed. Sheen's other co-stars include Shawnee Smith, Martin Sheen, Daniela Bobadilla, and Brett Butler.

FX renews Anger Management for 90 episodes
One of the newest FX comedies Anger Management starring Charlie Sheen, Shawnee Smith, and Selma Blair has apparently been a pretty big hit. The network renewed the show for 90 more episodes the other day. FX Executive VP Chuck Saftler announced:
I watched Anger Management for about two weeks and haven't seen it again. It's not that I didn't like the show it's just that I suck when it comes to television. I almost always forget to watch shows. I am surprised I keep up with The Walking Dead and True Blood like I do. Probably because those air on Sundays when I hardly have anything else going on. If a show is during the week then I'm screwed. Half the time I forget to watch Archer because it airs on Thursdays at 11pm. BUT, with that said I will be catching up on Anger Management before the episodes disappear into oblivion before the next season. From what I saw it is pretty damn funny and I did like it.
"We set a very high ratings bar that included some additional hurdles for Anger Management to earn its back-90 order and the series met and exceed those metrics. Bruce Helford has created a sitcom that works extremely well in our pre-10 p.m. programming lineup. Charlie Sheen and the entire cast did an amazing job in the first ten episodes, which were produced in a very tight window. I have no doubt that the producers and cast will be able to pull off the Herculean task of producing 90 episodes over the next two years.”

Anger Management to star Shawnee Smith and Selma Blair
Shawnee Smith and Selma Blair have been cast as Charlie Sheen's ex-wife and therapist in the upcoming show titled Anger Management. Taping is set to begin in March for a debut sometime in June.

The only reason I will be checking this show out is because Shawnee Smith was cast. If you don't know her she has been in Saw (I-III, VI), The Stand, Becker, The Blob (1988), Summer School, etc.. I absolutely love her. She was amazing in Becker so I am looking forward to having her on TV again. Then again, Becker was a legitimate good show so who knows. Charlie Sheen is such a loose cannon. We'll have to wait and see.
The fact that this show is going to be on FX and not on a basic network, like NBC or CBS, gives me hope. I have shows on cable networks that I have absolutely fallen in love with; Archer and American Horror Story (both on FX), True Blood (HBO), and The Walking Dead (AMC). FX seems to do something right so that's the main glimmer of hope I have for this one. Not to mention they must like Charlie Sheen seeing that Two and a Half Men is in syndication on the network.
