Sadly, even as I posted my last article, word has broken that the producers of Criminal Minds are not as progressive and thoughtful as I initially believed. The heartless yet inspired firing of AJ Cook and sidelining of Paget Brewster was NOT a financially motivated means of boosting the testerone of the show, but instead a creative decision to refresh a veteran cast. Yes, CBS was horribly misquoted and what they meant to say was that a new female cast member will be introduced mid-season.
Oh, CBS, how easily you cave to the liberal hordes who saw your savvy business moves as misogynistic. But, wait! CBS says the move is intended to "refresh a veteran drama series." Very true...women have a much shorter shelf life than men. Like eggs, milk, and other easily expired goods, women in television need to be replaced frequently. Sure, AJ Cook is still a beauty, but for how much longer? 20 years? Why take that gamble when a newer model is right around the corner. Thankfully, the same doesn't apply to men. Shamar Moore is 87 years old. A lot of people don't know this but it was actually Moore who taught Don Cornelius how to ride the Soul Train.
You may have won this round, Liberal Elite, but we have the satisfaction of at least a partial season of testerone driven action when the cast is brilliantly balanced between one and a half women and four men. But for now I sadly withdraw the Golden Boobie. My deepest apologies, Criminal Minds.
