CSI is one of the most-watched shows, and not because of CBS but because of the wonderful actors on this show. If you axe Jorja and George, you might as well cancel the show. Look at your struggling shows and axe those shows in order to pay your actors. If there are a number of people complaining, then something is CLEARLY wrong!
Though I would not stop watching CSI if Jorja and George were cut loose- I agree that if they wanted raises, they should be able to negotiate. Please attempt to negotiate with them. They did wrong if they didn't show up the first day, but isn't there always some good solution?
CSI has been loved for it's wonderful characters and to fire these two amazing actors is a crime!I've admired these series so much and if you do this thing I'm gonna loose all respect for it.You're about to destroy CSI!!For the love of God don't do this.Personaly will be disgusted by this if it happens and will no longer be able to watch the series that has shapem me as a T.V viewer and as a person.
Okay, not a smart move CBS. You have a #1 show for a reason - and part of that is your cast. The FRIENDS cast was making a ton - for a 1/2 hour show - why not give a little? The original is your best. Your giving it an early death it doesn't deserve. PLEASE invite them back. You WILL lose me as a loyal viewer and product tie-in buyer for CSI. You have my WORD.
You have basically commited ratings suicide. You'll never beat NBC, and now that you've screwed over the cast of CSI, you'll most likely never beat FOX either. What a greedy move Les Moonves, your mother must be proud.
This has been a great cast from the beginning. If you spit them up you will be ruining a great hit television show. I will not watch this television show if this is not corrected.
CBS, you are a bunch of fascists! Jorja and George were two of the best actors on CSI. You have made a big mistake by firing them. CSI was the only show I watched on CBS, and now I will no longer tune in. You have lost this viewer.
CBS has no grounds to fire Jorja-this is not only a union issue, but a up-yours to the viewers of CSI by Les Moonves and CBS.
I will personally write every advertiser on CSI and advise them of the potential loss of business if both the breach of contract issuance and firing is not reversed.
This is no longer a personnel issue-but a betrayal of the fans and cast of CSI!
All the characters on this show are very strong. Not a good idea to get rid of any of them. Changes the chemistry and development of the show too much. Keep them on. It's perfect as it is!
I really enjoy these characters and the actors that portray them. I think they should keep them and and they deserve whatever they asked for in salary, they probably deserve double! CBS can't afford to lose these great actors!
I've just read the news. I live in Asia and CSI is a big show here as well. I'm shocked and devastated. The show won't be the same without them. Every character in the show is one of the most important factor for CSI success. Moreover, the chemistry between Billy and Jorja are what make this show really good. Please bring them back.
I have seen every episode of CSI. These two characters are such an integral part of the ensemble that I cannot imagine the show without them. Please rehire Jorja and George.
The show that I know and love will not be the same if you do not hire Jorja and George back. And I will NEVER watch CBS ever again. The show would not be the same if Sara and Nick were not there
If you don't give Jorja and George their jobs back I wiill not watch CBS the station ever again. Too bad for CBS all the show that I watch on their channel I also watch on another station.
CSI is an amazing show, and alot of its success has to do with its awesome cast. The show will never be the same without the influential characters of sara and nick. You WILL loose viewers if you let them go..the show will lack its chemistry that has made it number one for so long - dont mess up a good thing.
What the hell is CBS thinking?!? I love the characters of Nick and Sara! CSI has generated SO much revenue for CBS. Isn't it time to share a piece of the pie? As with any job, you are not going to stay stuck with the same pay rate forever. They were just asking for what is rightfully theirs.
The very fact that they cave in to the whole cast of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' but refuse to do this for two members of their very own #1 show speaks for the network's cowardice attitude. Bring them back! Or perhaps we should get all the other regular cast of the show to boycott it as well, see how they are gonna bring in a whole new cast and continue with the show like nothing happen. Lance Henrikssen as Gil Grissom? Wouldn't work! Get my drift??
Come on CBS - share the wealth. There's too many strings left hanging to write them out of the show, and I certainly won't buy somebody else playing Nick or Sara.
CBS has cut its nose off to spite its own face. Yes, it's a cliche but true. The only television show I watch has just been destroyed. Thanks alot, CBS and Les Moonves.
I gotta start off by saying CSI is an AWESOME, yah thats right, AWESOME show!!!! The first episode I saw was in school and i got hooked. I really have grown attached to Nick and Sarah so plz dont replace them...btw cbs if u do plan to still let them go then give them a good ending and please please please do not bring in other ppl to play them...just bring new ppl in...but hopefully you will keep em ;) ... whatever, CSI will ALWAYS be an awesome show!! YAYAYA!!
Jorja Fox and George Eads add not only appeal, but credibility to "CSI." No doubt others may replace these characters, but nothing is better than the familiarity of trusted actors and characters distinct to this show. Much like many other posters on this forum, the show WILL NOT be as alluring to watch without Jorga and George. Please hire them back and maintain the integrity of the show we have come to view and love with each episode. Thank you.
The chemistry between the cast members is what makes this show! I hate CSI Miami due to it's pathetic cast. George Eads and Jorja Fox are important to the cast of CSI. Do not let them go or we as fans may have to let CBS go...
THEY CANNOT GET RID OF THESE TWO WONDERFUL PEOPLE BIG HUGE MISTAKE!! they keep the show going, if y ou get rid of them, i know way to many people to name and count that won't watch the show if you get rid of these two awesome actors
I feel so bad. I have been forgetting (yes, forgetting) to watch CSI :-( so I didn't even know about this. I hope this works. Neither Sarah nor Nick were my favorite characters but that doesn't mean I want to see them replaced. It would just be too wierd without them.
Please bring them back and give them a rasie or the shows raitings will drop and the fans of the show will have decreased! Please we are begging you because jorja and nick were many of the fans favortie characters!
You have to hit CBS where their heart is -- in their pocket. If there is no George Eads and Jorja Fox, we will not watch the show, not buy the DVD's,books, etc.
Sara is my favorite character. I will stop watching the show if they are not rehired. The show will not be the same without them, or even approaching as wonderful.
Jorja and George's characters are what keep the show so great! By bringing in new people to replace them, CBS will only be lowering the value of the show, and casting some viewers away from them. The amount of money lost will be so much more than paying Jorja and George could ever be.
CSI is the best show ever. I think it is totally a line of bull to fire someone just becuase they ask for a raise. Would you want to be fired for that? I know I wouldn't.
I find it hard to believe that GE and JF, who are a big part of the reason that CSI have made CBS and their affiliates Billions of dollars, but CBS fires them because they would like more money. It astounds me that CBS is willing to pay WP 5 times as much, MH twice as much, but bark when this pair wants a bigger slice of the pie. If CBS really wanted to take a hard stance, as they claim, they should have fired WP and MH's butts when THEY did not show for work either. I think there picking on these two actors because they think that the fans wouldn't care. GUess again. NO GE -- no CSI for me.
This is bad publicity for CBS, to be seen like this... why in the world would you want that? If you are really devoted to quality programing and the veiwers you'll give em back, we don't care about your stupid childish mistake here, we just want our awesome and amazing show back. It will never be the same if you don't do an about face .William Peterson even said that no show could do what they dobecause of the great team he worked (WORKS?!?!) with. What are you gonna do, "fire" Sara for drinking and kill Nick? Don't even think of keeping the same characters, wthat's an insult to our integrity. You'll lose more than you ever would have if you don't bring 'em back.
I'm sorry but letting go of George is like letting go of William or Marg. WHY? Why? Why? Bring them back. And they ALL deserve a pay raise. They are excellent at what they do!!!!!!!
First of all the show will be horrible without the original 5. Also without them last years plot is gone. I mean it was all about Grissom and Sara, and Sara and Nick going after the promotion. How stupid is CBS to destroy their plot. If they dont bring them back i know i wont be watching and buying all the crap i do that gives them their money. If they dont bring them back I hope it starts the downfall of CSI so they can realize how stupid they are. Thanks CBS for ruining the one show that i watched and that was actually doing well.
Wow. Just...wow. I can't believe CBS would allow something like this...as a lot of people have mentioned and predicted, ratings will drop so much from this. I don't know what really happened, but I want this to be resolved soon.
jill u are lucky that i am signing this because i love the battiness. even though i dont swing that way. but um....ill be like everyone else and say *add whiney accent* 'i wont watch CSI if you dont put them back! this is horrid! i am appalled!! i cant believe you!' ok im done.
They cannot fire George and Jorja. George is the hottest guy on the show. I hope they know about how they letting the fans down for commiting an apalling act. CSI: Las Vegas is the best CSI on the air because of the whole cast, and that includes George and Jorjia. They are killing this show.
please bring back Nick and Sara, the show is never really the same after the main characters leave and i will probally stop watching it if they dont come back!!!
