This is gunna be good

After a slew of radio interviews, troubled Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen is taking his rants to TV, taping an interview with ABC News' Andrea Canning. The interview will air as a special one-hour edition of 20/20 at 10 PM on Tuesday and will also be milked daily on Good Morning America and ABC News' Website.

From ABC News' announcement today, it seems like we'll hear more of the same - Sheen explaining why he is attacking CBS, Two and a Half Men co-creator/showrunner Chuck Lorre and studio Warner Bros. The actor also is sticking to his claim that he is 100% clean and plans to show up for work next week despite the fact that CBS on Thursday shut down production of Two and a Half Men for the rest of the season.

ABC landing the Sheen interview is not surprising. While he stuck mainly with syndicated radio shows, TMZ and Radar, ABC News was the only mainstream news outlet to do an interview with the actor over the past week, a text message exchange also credited to Canning. (And we can safely assume CBS News did not pursue a sitdown with the star.)

The interview, which is bound to improve ABC's languishing ratings in the Tuesday 10 PM slot, marks Sheen's return to the network that gave him a start as a sitcom star on Spin City where he replaced Parkinson's-stricken Michael J. Fox.
