CBS to drop A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster from Criminal Minds? WTF??

[eirenical]

OK... so most of you (the two or three that read this blog) probably don't watch Criminal Minds. To that I say... you should! It's a fantastic show with a true ensemble cast, each member of which is given multiple opportunities to shine. There are three -- count them, three -- female cast members. And CBS wants to drop two of them. *twitch* I'm flabbergasted.

So the message we're trying to send here is that only men make for good TV? What happened to providing our youth with strong, positive female role models? The reason this show works so well is that it's a fully meshed ensemble cast. Each person on the team has a very different function and brings their own unique perspective to the table. Take one away and the whole suffers. And taking away the only two that are active field agents? What's the next step CBS? Having us all barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen? *sigh*

So... if you care at all, or even if you just want to do me a favor... take two seconds of your time and sign the petition to keep J.J. and Prentiss on the Criminal Minds team. Please? *wobble eyes*
