PASADENA, California (AP) – Charlie Sheen is back at work at 'Two and a Half Men', and his producer said at the weekend that the audience at the actor's first show taping since his arrest was "incredibly supportive".

Sheen taped an episode of the top-rated CBS comedy on Friday. He was arrested Christmas Day in Aspen, Colorado, on suspicion of domestic violence and other charges. Sheen's wife, Brooke, told police he put a knife to her throat, an accusation the actor denies. Attorneys say the couple wants to reconcile.

Sheen showed up at work Monday and rehearsals went well, said Chuck Lorre, the show's creator and executive producer. He said the incident wasn't ignored, but wouldn't say how it came up backstage. Lorre said Sheen seems to be doing as well as he can under the circumstances.

A day before the taping, Pitkin County Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said that a Colorado judge ruled that Sheen must appear in person on February 8 for an Aspen hearing on suspicion of felony menacing, domestic violence and other charges.
