We're told the &lt;strong&gt;Warner Bros. &lt;/strong&gt;offer is around &lt;strong&gt;$1 million&lt;/strong&gt; an episode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warner Bros.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;will make a fortune if the show continues, because any fresh episodes will automatically become part of the syndication deal. Charlie would also make a fortune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one person put it, \"This deal will be made at midnight on the day CBS announces its new fall schedule [May 19]. Everyone plays the brinksmanship game.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there's this ... it's not going to be particularly easy for Charlie to get a new show, given he's in rehab and facing a possible jail sentence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one well-connected source snarkily said, \"Does anyone really think Charlie will walk away from $48 million?\"&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;div class=\"related\"&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span&gt;More Charlie Sheen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/04/01/zz-top-charlie-sheens-two-and-a-half-men-fantasy-show-audience-taping-filming/\"&gt;ZZ Top -- Charlie Sheen's Fantasy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/29/charlie-sheen-standing-ovation-two-and-a-half-men-studio-audience-rehab-malibu/\"&gt;Charlie Sheen Gets Big Clap at \"Two &amp;amp; a Half\"&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/16/charlie-sheen-two-and-a-half-men-cbs-rehab-set-sober-coach-warner-bros/\"&gt;Charlie Sheen -- Back at Work&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n{{tmz_video_0}} &lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
