From EW.com ...

The obligatory CM Bashing post in EW's "Getting Tired or Still Inspired" http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20498858,00.html#20970579. What is most surprising is that Ken Tucker didn't write it. "DF" did.

Yet Sandra Gonzalez came to the show's defense http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20498858,00.html#20970576.

tbh I can see both sides of the argument. CM used to be a much more cerebral show in its earlier seasons but S6 was borderline unwatchable to me b/c the show seemed to be riding more on how shocking/fucked-up they can make the cases and cramming them with as much gratuitous torture porn as possible. Like I felt uncomfortable watching the show with my parents and I'm a grown adult. The musical cast members didn't help matters, of course, but I think that's just a part of the problem and not the entire problem. Having AJ and Paget back (and hopefully TGibs, although I highly doubt he's going anywhere) will likely help the show get back on its feet again but only if some serious improvements are made to the writing quality. Like say, having some writers who've actually watched the show.

The cancellation of the spinoff makes me cautiously optimistic since it will no longer be draining resources from the original, and maybe CM will get back to its roots.

In other news, TGibs and AJ are really hot
