CBS: You and I are fucking done!
Jun. 16th, 2010 02:38 pmThis behavior is completely unacceptable.
Exhibit the first: Charlie Sheen is getting $2 million per episode for Two and a Half Men while he has charges pending in CO for threatening his wife with a knife.
Exhibit the second: Criminal Minds is cutting A.J. Cook (Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau) entirely and reducing Paget Brewster's (Emily Prentiss) episodes significantly. (Two out of the three female cast members.)
I call sexist bullshit.
If the cast cut on Criminal Minds is really about saving money, they could have done the common sense thing and pulled a Numb3rs. You know, not have every single cast member in every episode. Reduce all cast members' episode count by three or four and keep the phenomenal cast intact. But nnnnnooooooooo, we're going to get rid of the women and just get a new female cast member later. Because, you know, women are so interchangeable it's not going to matter. Bullshit.
So, next fall TV season? No Criminal Minds, NCIS, Big Bang Theory, or The Mentalist for me. And I won't be trying out Hawaii Five-0. And I'm writing CBS and the advertisers on CM to complain.

Please pardon my language. I've been getting my feminist rant on lately and this just hit me all wrong.
