CBS… you are making a huge mistake! HUGE! You’ll see….. everyone loves the cast as a whole… taking A.J and Paget out of this show completely ruins it! They’re irreplaceable! It takes a while for these characters to form their relationships with one another because they don’t have the time… so to just pull them out after we have watched them grow into their characters is VERY unprofessional! The spin-off could have been a success but it unfortunately came with a price…and its a price that CM fans are not willing to pay! You are taking us for granted and you are very unappreciative of our support! I am excited to watch the episode this week because A.J Cook returns but it is bitter sweet because it will be the last episode I watch.. and the last for another 50,000+ of your most loyal viewers! So sad..

This channel made a big mistake and those actresses didn’t deserve to be treated like that. I don’t care of what they say to justify themselves, it’s 1 000 % unfair. I don’t have any illusions but I do wish they could apologize to them. Paget and AJ always did their job and it seems they liked to work on the show as well. I hope Paget will stay and wish AJ would still be there ! However I would understand if Paget decided to leave. I won’t be mad at her, they gave her good reasons !
What a shame, this show was great as it was. I have nothing against Rachel Nichols however, she did a good job in The Insider and it wasn’t an easy role to play. I hope they will respect her, nobody deserves to be treated like that and I don’t care to know it’s happens very often to actors and bla bla bla. It’s not a reason to accept and say “it’s normal” because it’s not.
I wish they could have listened the fans of the show too, but I know we’re little.

I can’t believe AJ was cut. She was a major part of what made the show a success! Did the producers think they could give her the axe and no one would notice?
CM is an awesome show, and it’s going to be ruined by all the changes that are being made!

I think the network will be surprised how many female viewers Criminal Minds had until they started gutting the female cast members. I liked the show, but I won’t continue watching when it becomes an example of the FBI’s good ol’boy departments.

I love A.J Cook and taking her off makes me want to not watch the show at all! I hate when you start taking the original cast members off! You should listen to what the fans want, we are the ones who make your show a hit or not.

I miss JJ, she was an important part of the show. I don’t understand replacing her with with a wanna be lookalike.
Criminal Minds has moved beyond the original show format where we focused on the activity by giving the viewers a chance to invest in its characters. They focused on developing character traits then remove the character. Why should we bother getting to like the new person?

This will make another very good show down the tubes.Get rid of everyone who made it what is is today then boot them.That to me is not the way to keep loyal fans watching.
