Sara is the best! Her character is so faceted - I love her, and her relationship with Grissom. We have grown to know these characters; they cannot be replaced.
I am shocked, appalled, angry, but mostly saddened by this short-sighted move by CBS. Ms. Fox and Mr. Eads are an integral part of the CSI cast, and the show will never be the same without them. You've broken up the team, the family, and in doing so, I feel like you have sabotaged my favorite show. The fans watch CSI for the great writing and the intriguing storylines, but what Mr. Moonves might not realize is that the main reason we watch is because of the incredible cast. You have just broken up the best ensemble on television and it makes me very sad. I still can't believe this has actually happened, and I truly hope it's not too late to fix this major mistake. Please reinstate Jorja Fox and George Eads.
How could you fire two of the biggiest stars of the show? Do you realize how many viewers you will lose???? CBS you seriously are making a big mistake and I will not watch if thats the case. Realize those two make the show what it is today. You can not just replace them with two new people when they been there for so long. BRING THEM BACK OR WATCH THE RATINGS DROP!!!!!
I cannot believe this outrage! With the spinoffs, you need to keep your cast, not freaking fire them! Ratings will drop and you're just throwing the show away. Please rehire!!
I can not believe that anyone at CBS/CSI actually thinks that firing two of their most popular actors and destroying the CSI team we have grown to love was actually a good move. As Homer Simpson would say D'oh!
CBS you just made a big mistake and judgin by this petition lost yourself a fair number of viewers as a result. Ooops. It's not too late to bring them back CBS!
Sara and Nick are my favourites, so I won't be watching the series if they are no longer in it.
Usually a show has my loyalty even with cast changes, but not this time, there are plenty of other things to occupy my time, so I will no longer take time out to watch CSI.
I think that CBS should change their minds. They are not my fav charaters but they play an important part to the show!! Bring them back!! its a huge mistake!
NO George and Jorja means NO CSI for me. It's appalling you value their contribution to the CSI team so little. George is the reason I watch CSI and all of them are what make CSI Las Vegas #1
This is absolutely absurd. IT's a shame that CBS can't pay their actors what they are worth. Les Moonves is a money hungry person. Shame on him and shame on CBS.
This is a shame, the show was good because of the actors. CSI miam is less watched in France because the team is not as appealing as the LasVegas team. It's a shame.
For all the money that CBS has made from the creative talents of the whole cast, a pay rise does not seem unreasonable. George and Jorja are an integral part of the show; CBS are making a big mistake.
What are you doing, this is the only show with the original cast, I hate your other csi shows only this one is good, now your taking my favorite chartures away... Well bye bye you lost me and my csi friends. not to mention grissom is leaving next year, this show is toast
I cannot believe that they have done such act!! How can they fire them!!! I´m so angry right now.CSI is the best shot on tv right now and they fire two of the main character of the series...We have to show them that the ratings will go down!! CBS HAS MADE A HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!
SO SAD!!!! THSE POOR POOR PEOPLE R GOING TO BE SO HURT, BECAUSE U CBS (IF THATS YOUR REAL ENECHEL,)! MY MOM WATCHES CSI ON SUNDAYS! BOOOO CBS! BOOOO CBS!! BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU CRAZY?? WHAT DO YOU THINK TOUR DOING? MR. MOONVES- HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE FIRED? THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE SHOW, AND JORJA AND GEORGE ARE AN INTREGRAL PART OF THIS GREAT DRAMA- BOTH FABULOUS AND UNIQUE, IN THEIR OWN RIGHT- WITHOUT THEM, WHO'S GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN NEW CHARACTERS- NO ONE- GIVE US ALL A BREAK, AND RECONSIDER YOUR MOVE- IT'S A VERY BAD ONE, LOTS OF UN-HAPPY FANS OUT HER- GET REAL!! OR BYE-BYE-I SEE BOYCOTT HERE!!!
CBS you really need to think about this one. If William Peterson decides to leave at the end of the next series well then all I can say is that you're screwed basically. You would have lost 3 out of the 5 main characters!!! Stupid!
I don't think this is a show like ‘e.r.’ that can drop and acquire new members whenever the producers decree it – CSI revolves around a small team working together and bouncing off each other and adding a few new replacement characters like Greg and bringing them through to CSI status cannot make up for this kind of slapdash approach to casting. These people helped make this show a hit – they deserve the money!
So the nicest train of thought I could entertain at any moment has just been blown to pieces... Les Moonves I wasn't aware of your existence until today, but my opinion of you is already set in stone. And it's NOT GOOD.
This is an outrage. CBS can not be allowed to break up one of the greatest casts in the history of television. They tried to duplicate the chemistry of CSI's cast on that Miami reject, and failed miserably! I for one am tired of all the network's money going to "reality show" contestants. If Jorja and George want more money, give it to them! They deserve it more than "15 minute"nobodys.
What! This is the best show on TV. I look forward to watching each week. It will not be the same if Jorja and George are not part of it. I hope CBS has time to think about what they have done and hire them back with that raise. Minneapolis Fan
Firing two of the actors in the ensemble cast for CBS' number one show is a very arrogant and poorly thought out idea. The two chracters are integral to the team that makes up CSI, just as Jorja Fox and George Eads are integral to the characters they play. To recast the roles in the 5th season of the show would simly be absurd, and removing the characters entirely would leave a big void. Bring them back!
People don't watch CSI just because they are such huge fans of CBS. They watch it for the characters on the show. Stupid to mess with a good thing. If it's not broke, don't try and fix it with duct tape!
It's unfair to fire two actors because of money, whereas you earn so much money thanks to the show ! The show will not be the same without George and Jorja, even if you take other actors....
Angry?
Call this number, it'll patch you through to Les Moonves' office, and then the secretary will transfer you to a rant line. Keep them hopping!

Huge mistake to fire two of the younger members of the CSI cast (no offence to Marg Helgenberger or William Petersen intended)… the great chemistry between these characters is evident on the show and it is too bad CBS could not iron out a better deal for them. CBS’s impulsive action will lead to a drop in viewers and probably the loss of their most popular show.
I say we storm the feedback stuff on CBS.com until the have to bring them back. CBS is WAY NOT COOL. They better better better bring them back or they are gonna be headless. Every little bit counts. If we can get lotsa people on this petition, they will need to listen to us. THEY BETTER!
This is a bunch of bull. CBS has done allot of stupid mistakes in the past, cancelling "The Agency" and "The District". And now they fired two of their most popular stars in one of the most watched dramas on Thursday nights. Get the cob out of your rears and make this right.
CBS should have fired Marg and that annoying, squeaky voice girl in CSI Miami instead of Jorja and George. I hope that the ratings will drop big, just to prove that CBS made a mistake.
