Viewers got their second look at Ashton Kutcher in CBS' comedy series Two and a Half Men on Monday night.

The actor -- who replaced Charlie Sheen after he was fired in March -- plays heartbroken Internet billionaire Walden Schmidt.

In the ninth-season premiere, which aired last week, Schmidt shows up about halfway through the episode on Alan Harper's (Jon Cryer) doorstep after trying to commit suicide. He later declares his intention to buy Charlie Harper's (Sheen character, who was killed off by a subway train) former house, thereby becoming Alan's new roommate.

The premiere drew a whopping 28 million viewers, including Sheen himself, who praised the episode as "really good," Kutcher as "terrific" and Cryer a "freaking genius."

After Two and a Half Men aired Monday night, viewers hit Twitter to give their thoughts on Kutcher's second episode.
