Re: Season 9 *Spoiler Lab* Discussions
g/e can't even be one after another in the credits. And not only that, Eric has been on the show since the pilot and this pushing him to the back crap is getting ridiculous! I hate this new girl already, so so much.
Blaming her is not really fair. It is not her fault if CBS and the shows producers put her ahead of anyone. Besides, no one knows for sure that this information is 100% accurate. It could just be a general cast list.
It's still a little early to be jumping to those kinds of conclusions. Personally, if they're putting her ahead of Eric, I do NOT blame her in any way. It's not her fault. It's the producers and whatnot behind the show that control that. So, blaming her isn't really fair. But, if this is the attitude that some people are going to take, I sure do feel sorry for the new girl.
Actually no, it's not in alphabetical order. If that were the case, then Robert David Hall, David Berman and Paul Guilfoyle would be listed up there before Eric.
Robert, David and Paul's characters are not CSIs. All of the CSIs (aside from the two leads, ie Marg and Billy) are in alphabetical order. Lauren's last name is Smith which alphabetically comes before Szmanda.
None of this info is set in stone yet. It could very well be that the person who wrote down that info originally put all the CSIs (aside from Marg and Billy) in alphabetical order on their own and that this is not how they'll be shown in the opening credits of the show.
And no matter what the case is if you wanna blame someone, blame the producers, writers, CBS, etc... but not the actress. It is not her fault... not in the least.
I along with other Eric fans feel insulted that he's not considered important enough (even after all these years of proving himself) to get billing ahead of the new girl.
If this is the way they're gonna have it in the opening credits, then yeah, it does seem insulting... and Greg being my fave character and Eric my fave actor on the show (along with George), I'm not happy with them being put on the backburner (so to speak)... however, there is no reason to blame the actress for that. It's completely the producers/CBS' decision. LLS doesn't deserve the blame!
The producers, writers, etc have been putting Greg in the background for a while now... he hasn't been given enough big scenes in the last couple of seasons (basically since "Fannysmackin"). So, blaming someone [who is just now coming into the show] for that continuing is just not where the blame should be directed. IMO only the producers, writers, CBS, etc need the blame directed at them.
