Rueben's Ramblings

AJ Cook

The news broke on Tuesday, June 15 that actress AJ Cook was not being picked up for another season of the successful CBS series Criminal Minds. Meanwhile, her co-star Paget Brewster will continue to appear in the series, but with reduced episode appearances. As can be imagined, fans are screaming “sexism” and are very upset; so much so they have created a petition in support of the female leads of the show. If you would like to partcipate in this petition, please visit the following to make your voice heard: http://www.petitiononline.com/cmwomen/petition.html.

Paget Brewster

Please keep in mind, however, that getting Ms. Cook reinstated to the show or convincing the “powers that be” that Ms. Brewster should get more airtime will be an uphill battle that, more likely than not, will be unsurmountable. I do commend those who are making this impassioned plea, though. 

Good Luck!
