I'm a lurker, and not a very good one at that, but I just had to comment and say to all those who didn't immediately jump on the OMG SEXIST COMPANY IS SEXIST high horse? I love you for thinking things through.
Might CBS be secretly sexist? I suppose it's possible, although, last I checked Nina Tassler was definitely female. And from my understanding, she's one of the main people making the decisions of who stays and who goes. And, though I don't watch as many CBS shows as I once did, I can't think of any other situation to back up this supposed sexism. Let me know if I'm wrong on that.
I understand being upset over a favorite getting axed but this just seems a little over the top. Acting is a JOB like any other. Last one in is first one out, that's just how it works. I'm sure many of us have been that person before, and while it sucks it has nothing to do with sex, or race, or anything else. And if it did, well you have a nice little lawsuit to follow up on.
Now, if Nichols was not notified by CBS, then yes, that is a very douchebag move. HOWEVER, considering the way things leak these days, they may very well have intended to do so. Being outsiders that's something we just can't know. And to assume so much when we really, truly know so very little?
That's just another douchebag move.
All that said, I'm sorry for Nichols in the way I'm sorry for anyone else who loses their job. It sucks, and I hope she finds something else soon. She seems like a really awesome chick, so I'm sure she'll find something worthy of her talents. Because the way they were righting her? It's my opinion that CM just wasn't it.
