This should be filed in the are you fucking stupid category.

CBS has decided to make the bone headed decision to completely fire one female cast member AJ Cook. who played JJ the agent who handled the press, and cut back the episodes of Paget Brewster who already was the only female agent in the field dealing with the cases.

The reporting is that the cut is for financial reasons.  So I guess when you are having money problems on a hit series the first thing you do is cut the women.  Nice.

I know that this is a male centric show, but being a very dark and violent show it was nice to have some women as part of the ensemble.

God forbid they should think about cutting back one of the guys which even before the cut outnumbered women 4 to 3.

Can it really be that one of the top shows on TV will only have a single female as a cast member?  I know that Kristen Vangsness is awesome, but please.

I think this is really troublesome.
