[url="http://tmz.com/person/charlie-sheen/"][b]Charlie Sheen[/b][/url]'s triumphant return to television will take place on cable ... because the [b]FX Network[/b] just sealed a deal to run his new sitcom, "[b]Anger Management[/b]."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, at least 3 cable networks bid on the show ... but FX emerged victorious. 

The deal is what's known as a "10-90" -- if the first 10 "test" episodes do well, the network will order 90 more.
