PASADENA â€" Angus T. Jones is welcome back on “Two and a Half Men,†CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said Saturday, despite the fact he trashed the show last fall as Sodom and Gomorrah.
“He apologized and we’ve moved on,†Tassler told TV critics. “The kid is 19 years old. I've got a 24-year-old. Between the ages of 19 and 24, there's been plenty of things my kid has said that I wish he hadn't.
“The bottom line is cooler heads prevailed."

Jones made headlines last fall when he labeled the show “filth†in a video posted on YouTube. He said he was ashamed of his role over the years and urged people not to watch the show.
Shortly thereafter he said he was sorry and hadn’t meant to disrespect anyone, including any of his colleagues.
Tassler said she has indications Jones, who plays the “half†man, wants to return to the role. She said he will be doing a table read on an 11th season script next week.
Tassler also acknowledged that Jones’s status isn’t the only obstacle to an 11th season, since neither of the two stars, Jon Cryer or Ashton Kutcher, has signed on yet.
She expressed optimism it will be worked out. “Two and a Half Men†remains a popular show on the air and a hot ticket in syndication.
