These two talented actors are 2/5 of the magic behind CSI. Firing them over such a commonplace disagreement is a bit over the top. Please reinstate them both.
I definitely support Jorja and George. They should not have been fired like that. This is the worst thing that could happen. I am upset by the turn of events. Jorja and George are great actors. Maybe there should be a change of writers and not the actors.
how can you possibly rationalize taking two main characters off the show? Please! Who thought of that one, the same one who thought of the dream for a whole season on Dallas? Keep these two, they are an important, if not necessary, part of this show!
Bring back George and Jorja!!! CSI will not be the same without them, and CBS can be assured that they have lost a viewer if George and Jorja don't return.
They are part of the original concept. First you made spinoffs and then you fire George & Georgia, what are you thinking Moonves. Your wild ride will be ending due over-exposure of CSI and the firing of two beloved cast members. NICE JOB...ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF YET!?!
Surely you can't possibly think that you can salvage the show dynamics if these two characters are lost?
And for goodness' sake CBS, at least have the decency to explain yourselves!
The continued success of CSI cannot be expected should George and Jorja not return. They, as well as their characters, are irreplaceable. If they aren't back for season 5, I won't be either.
that was a huge mistake to release two great actors such as jorga and george. your ratings will suffer bigtime without them. it just will not be the same without them. bring them back.
This is a tragedy. Now I will be unable to watch any of the CSI shows due to them all originating from this one. GE is irreplacable, as is JF. What creative CEO came up with this idea?
The show will definitely go down hill without them. What the heck were you thinking Moonves!!! Give them a raise and get them back on the show! They are worth it!!!
These people made CSI your number 1 hit and this is how you thank them? This is an ensemble cast and cant be broken up. Bring them back and give them more money!
I love CSI and I love the characters Nick and Sarah. I feel that there is no way that any other actors can come in and mesh so well with the rest of this ensemble cast. Nick is my favorite character! I can't see myself being able to like any new actors that may come along to take their place. If they are not in the next season, then it will be no surprise if it is their last!
I love the show mainly because of it's great cast and the interactions between their characters. Without Jorja Fox and George Eads the show would not be the same and the ratings will suffer so please bring them back.
I am disgusted to hear they were released.
They were a good part of why I watched. If they're gone then so am I.
I see the show ending its run if they're not in it
i really hope you read the letters, the emails and the petitions, because u can see what you are doing to the fans of the show.
So they ask for more money, all actors do.
Just read the letters, the emails and the petition before making a decision.
I. Cant. Even. Say. Anything. THIS IS SO SHOCKING AND STUPID!!! I, along with plenty other CSI fans deeply disagree with your decision, as they deserve to stay on the show!! P.S. We are all not a bunch of crazy Sara and Nick obsessed fans. I for one like all of the cast and would hate to see any go. Please consider this.
the reason I watch CSI is because of Sara and Nick. I know for sure that if they are not a part of this show anymore than I will not be watching this show anymore either.This is a big mistake and CBS will pay for it!
I only ever watched CSI for these characters. Once they're gone, I will watch it no longer. Sorry to the producers, but if they lose the viewers, who are they making the show for? They must take our wants into consideration! How can they do this!?
The show is Great with the cast as it is if they choose not to re hire these two the show will fail!!!! they all have a chemistry that works weas fans are used to that chemistry any change in it will just suck!!!
The original CSI is the only CBS script-based show I watch. I'm not a 'Nielson family', but my demographic (single, 18-49, over $75K annually) should mean something to CBS. With George & Jorja gone, CBS will see my viewership gone too!
I will miss Nick(George Eads) but getting rid of Jorja Fox is the best news I have heard in a while. I am a hughe fan of CSI and this bit of news will have no bearing on my loyalty to Grissom and the rest of the CSI crew.
Geat real and get a life!
I will never watch CSI again if this situation isn't fixed. I know for a fact the rest of my family and friends will certainly not.
Well done for ruining my favourite show, It is now replaced with Law and Order Criminal Intent.
I started watching the show simply because my daughter made me ..... but i have grown to love the show for many many factors. The characters of Sara and Nick being just two of them ..... never the less ..... it's an extremely bad move for CBS - the ratings are going to plummet. *watch this space*
I feel that their release from the show is utter idiocy. The fact that CSI is raking millions and refusing to give their cast what they rightfully deserve is petty and rediculous. I truly feel that the show will not be able to carry on with the stamina and energy that it had with them. I doubt that I will be watching the upcoming season.
If you fire Eads and Fox, every CSI series will go down with them. The fans will not stand for these two wonderful actors getting fired! We will boycott ALL of the CSI series until they get their jobs back. It's that simple.
Please take them back! CSI will never be the "same" without them, it will loose the Nick and Sara flirty banter, the Warrick/Sara/Nick friendship...thus loosing ratings. People not only watch the show for the forensics, we watch it to see a bunch of friends getting along in one of the most grissly working enviroments. We need to see that humor and friendship in CSI. When I read this morning that CBS had fired them for wanting more money, I didn't know whether I wanted to cry (which I did)...or laugh. Because each of the cast deserves a little more money since they do so much...its like FRIENDS, the essemble in the cast is more than PERFECT, the chemistry of family, friendship and relationship is there and it shouldn't be changed at all, for nothing. Please take them back! I am a CSI fan that supports each part of the cast!
WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING! Without those two, ratings will go down the freakin' drain. I hope CBS reconsiders and gives them and gives them another chance.
Thanks alot, CBS. It's time for you to find a new always-#1-in-the-ratings show to run on Thursdays, because you won't find anyone watching anymore. If it was Will Petersen you would negociate because he is the "star". Dream on!
I have become very disappointed in CBS with their watering down of the original CSI by franchising and formulizing the show to create the spinoffs. Now with the unceremonious firing of two main stars, my loyalty to this show is waning and might very well be stricken from my must watch fall schedule
I am so turned off to the show now- just seeing how petty they are being- They deserve what they are asking for - afterall the show wouldn't be what it is without all of it's characters - not just some but all.
As much as I love William Petersen, I don’t see him being able to carry this program himself. Sure there are the other characters that viewers love, but William Petersen alone isn’t going to be able to pull through himself. In each show you need the glue and the heart and that is exactly what you are losing through firing Jorja Fox and George Eads.
I can’t see the light in any instance if you removed these two characters from this show. I have been watching CSI since season one, and I have enjoyed how much of the cast that we are show daily, or through each episode, throughout the show. I have stood by the show through all of it’s spin off’s and I have never missed and episode on television, because it has me drawn in so completely.
Reconsider and give George and Jorja another chance. The show will not be the same without them.. it is an ensemble show and firing George and Jorja is like cutting out the heart of the show.CSI isn't CSI without Nick and Sara.. so plz Mr. Moonves reconsider.
If CBS doesn't revoke Eads' and Fox's termination, Petersen won't have to worry about seeing his contract through to the end season 7 -- the show will die a slow and painful death during season 5. CBS - idiots.
CBS once said that "We don't consider a program unless it can pull an audience of 80 million." So why must you ruin such a good thing that you have with CSI, with out Jorja of George is going to cut it's rating in half. So many of the people that I have come to know through watching this show have already began saying that if Jorja and George are cut from the show they don't see a reason to watch CSI.
I hope that you understand where we are all coming through all of this, and I hope that you will actually take the time to understand what these huge cuts are going to do to “America’s Number One Most Watched Drama.”
Gj firing the most popular characters from the show. These characters both show intelligence AND sexiness. Grissom may be smart but he ain't sexy no more. Catherine is too old and tries too hard. sigh. i guess i'll watch new york instead now. greedy bastards
cbs may think they can do what they want with the show cos its number 1 but its not gonna be after this decision. the cast help make the show what it is and is gonna suffer without j and g. wake up!!
I don't know what you are thinking but in the show CSI taking away Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) and Nick Stokes (George Eads) is like taking away Anthony LaPaglia (Jack Malone) and Poppy Montgomery (Samantha Spade) for the show Without A Trace, or removing David Caruso (Horatio Caine) and Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) from CSI: Miami, or even dare I say you trying to continue CSI without William Petersen. These characters were placed into these shows for reasons, and that is where they should stay. They are the elements that have made this show last for as long as it has. These are the characters from each show that have viewers returning to their seats each week to turn in and watch your shows.
I love CSI dont get me wrong but without Sara And nick the show is just not the same and i dout that many people will watch CSI because without Sara And Nick theres practically no show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long is this going to last? it's been only a few hours since this mess has started, and I feel like I'll never sleep again. To get such a blow from people that are supposed to provide ENTERTAINMENT... what a shame.
Much as I love the other actors on CSI as well, CSI is a fantastic show because of the COMBINED efforts of ALL the actors as well as the crew. The show will not be the same without Jorja and George. There is no way for anything to be great nor complete without all of the pieces. It's like a puzzle, and you just took out two of the big pieces!
$100,000 an episode is seriously pathetic. They DO deserve a raise.Even 'jim brass' and 'Grego' dont deserve that kind of money. CSI is number 1 for heaven sake. Every actor play a part.All of them are equally important. We the fans paid $ for the CSI merchandise and all that stuff because we love the show,the characters not for "THOSE" people to buy caviar. Sorry i told myself to be polite but cant help myself. Cant believe this is happening. PlEASE dont prolong my misery..
CBS is deluding themselves if they think Sara and Nick are expendable characters.CSI is an ENSEMBLE show, not a "Look at Marg Helgenberger and Billy Petersen" show, and the roles of Sara and Nick simply could never be filled by any other actors!
It seems to me that a compromise should solve this problem. Jorja and George want more on their paycheck and without the two CBS won't have any money to give as far as a paycheck is concerned because the show will fail. Nevertheless, the viewers are the ones that make the show what it is, without us, you have no show. So, I would suggest you work on a compromise if you want the show to go on.
