http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/ We the fans of George Eads of CSI are disgusted with the way his character has been shelved -- sidelined -- take your pick. We are also unhappy with the lack of character development, character storylines and character involvement. We think it is high-time for the producers to take note and take us seriously. We want to see our Nick Stokes back in all his glory each week and in every episode, and not just to be Grissom's personal punching bag either.

I've been a fan since he was in Savanna, a few years ago. Love him. Yes, he is the reason to watch CSI. How about a behind the scenes hot romance. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig172365 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Love the show, but lately too much Catherine and Warrick. How about a little bit more Nick? http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig172328 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST come on already!!! csi is in its fifth season, and nick STILL isnt in it enough. im not saying make the whole show about him, just give him more time to work his magic. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig171723 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Get More George/Nick http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig170879 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Thanks for a great show, but I'm missing Nick. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig170239 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Please Give Nick Some More Screen Time He's The Reason I Watch CSI, Not Just For The Crimes Scene Investigations. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig168459 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I like NIck , he's a good CSI want him to have more screentime but I have to add Sara deserves the chance to move up she's just as good a CSI as Nick so why the bitterness that she is getting the chance to shine , Nick got that last year. I also think less Cath , she takes up too much time if want someone to blame for his less screentime blame the fact on that the show is becoming the Cath show with rotating Lab tech this is what is sucking up Nicks time . http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig167867 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig167862 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig167856 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig167279 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Just wanted to say I hope to see more of George in upcoming episodes-Nick Stokes is a great character and I hate to see him underused in the series-there is so much potential for storylines given Nick's past on the series and George's talent-the skies the limit.I hope the writer's and producers realize this and continue to develop this character and challenge George's talent in portraying him. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig164033 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST George is a great actor and what you are doing to him is unfair and cheap. There are only two explanations for this treatment: 1. You guys are just plain mean, and don't want to spend money on your actors...or 2. You are going to have a really big, improtant episode, centered around Nick, and then all the episodes after that will be like the previous seasons, where everyone was involved and talked to each other(and had more than 3 seconds on air). I truely hope you guys have choosen the second one. Please don't disappoint us. :-( We LOVE Nicky!!! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163731 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Ensemble casts are just that. While individual stories may well feature one or the other character in a given week, overall, balance is everything. Bring the CSIs back into balance, please! http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163623 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I've only become a fan of CSI over the last year or so (what can I say I'm slow on the uptake) and one of the things I absolutely adore about the show is the wonderful chemistry between the cast. Now don't get me wrong, I adore all the cast, but Nick Stokes seems to have a kinda special chemistry with all of the other characters - the mentor thing with Gil, the buddies thing with Warrick, the cute friendly flirtation with Catherine - it's wonderful to watch on screen, and I just think it's such a shame that he's been so underused in the new season. I understand that trying to bring Greg in as a CSI (and incidentally I much preferred him in the lab but not the point) in the new season obviously off-balances things a little, but that's really no excuse for wildly under-using a well loved character, and a well loved and respected actor. I really would love to see more of that old magic back on screen between the five principles – Gil, Catherine, Warrick, Sara, and of course Nick... as much as I adore Brass, Greg and Doc Robbins, those main five are the centre of the show, and I one of the main reasons (along side of course the excellent story lines) myself, and I don't think I'd be out of line in saying a lot of others, watch the show. Please, please bring Nick back into the fold where he belongs and give us all back the chemistry and familiarity we love with the characters, and actors we adore. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163543 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I love CSI, but the show just isn't be the same without Nick. Give him more screen time. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163429 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I watch CSI mainly because of Nick Stokes/George Eads and because watching the characters interact with each other before was fun. I think adding Greg on the field is crowding the old cast. Get him back to the lab where he is best. He's funny and gives a lot of humor when giving out lab results and i really want the old team back on the field and with no one missing. I think there's too much Catherine storyline already, give a chance to the other cast members for a change. Give more air time for Nick - doesn't have to be a romantic story. Please no Catherine-Nick pairings. Thanks for reading. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163231 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I am a huge fan of CSI, and was heartily saddened by the news that George Eads' screen time has been drastically cut. I absolutely adore the Nicholas Stokes character, and believe he is an integral part of the CSI team. While I am delighted at the increase of screen time for the quirky Greg Sanders, I feel there would be a great benefit for the show with Greg and Nick becoming close friends. The signs were there, with the one episode where the rock star was murdered by his son's mother. Greg and Nick exchanged the classic hard rock "I Love You" signs with huge grins, and made me realize that the two actors had wonderful on-screen chemistry. Please work out whatever differences you and George Eads might have, as his character is part of the heart and soul of CSI. Thank you, and I continue to watch every new episode with the hope that Nick Stokes and the rest of the CSI crew continue to build on their personal relationships and stories. Sincerely, Kris Eshleman http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163223 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST I have been an avid CSI fan since the first season, and one of the things I appreciated most was, besides its never-ending pot of intriguing storylines, the way that each character contributed something to the show that made it special. Each person had a past, a life outside their job, that was at least touched upon and that was a brilliant way to make them seem more real. When I saw the cast of CSI on the cover of the October 1st issue of Entertainment Weekly at the grocery store, I immediately grabbed it simply because of CSI. What bothered me was reading the following passage: “…offer a fresh perspective on forensics through techie-turned CSI Greg Sanders while nodding to some ongoing themes: Gil’s tendency to be a hard-ass with his team, Warrick’s past problem with gambling, Sara’s battle with booze, and Catherine’s former life as a stripper.” Well, I think that’s truly wonderful but it’s missing someone that is without a doubt an integral part of the cast. Seeing that only reinforced something that I’d been thinking for a while: what about Nick? Why does he seem to be fading away when he is just as important to the show as anyone else—and, if I may say so, easily the most enjoyable character present? Nick’s character contributes an essential element, and the show’s ratings may very well suffer unless this role is one that gets the attention and development it deserves soon. http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig163160 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/CSIGeorgeEads/#sig162905 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:0:00 CST Ughhhhhhhh!!! I absolutely hate "change." I found out about this wonderful show called CSI over the summer. Maybe you've heard of it. The first episode I watched was "Chaos Theory." That episode is the only one I can find with somewhat equal screen time. WHAT HAPPENED!!! Then I watched "Overload", and Nick became my favorite character. I also began to love the idea of Nick/Catherine romance. Thank you MaryEllen R.(#211 on this petition, or somewhere around there) for agreeing with me. Anyway, I kept watching this show and over the past couple months this is what has happened. Nick and Sara have been fired, then rehired a week later. Catherine's problems have been broadcasted on every bulletin board and road sign in the world. Sara has started mentoring Greg, the CSI wannabe, when Nick should be doing that, because he got the promotion. In my opinion, Grissom's part has gotten smaller, too, not that I care. Greg thinks he's all that, but has really lame lines. I missed the episode on Friday, "Crow's feet", but from what I can tell Warrick was shelved, so Greg could be out in the field. All this stuff is negative unless you are a Greg fan. Negative is not what the #1 drama show should be(I think you got a little overly dramatic with Catherine's part). I'm very disappointed. There isn't any fun any more either. It's all work, work, work. They used to crack jokes all the time. This show is going downhill. I think all you Nick fans will agree that more screen time for George will mean more fun and jokes. Ok, CSI needs some romance, too. And I mean real romance. Gil and Sara never had anything. War and Sara started out real bad. Greg and Sara, NO!!! Nick and Sara, maybe. Cath and Gil, please no. Cath and War, maybe. Cath and Nick, YEAH!!! Cath and Greg, absolutely not!!! Maybe some marriage. Oh, Yeah!!! Anyway you guys have cut Nick of his well deserved screen time, and that is just plain mean. Ge
