    Well, she was surprisingly good on “24″ as an FBI agent, so I’ll reserve judgment.

      She was annoying and horrible on “24″.

    Love her, but still not watching. I wonder if anyone at CBS reads this… or cares. Nope, probably not

    I like JG and I LOVE Forrest Whitaker… but the CM spin-off soft pilot was the worst CM episode ever. I wanted to like it – I really did – but it was just painful to watch story elements and forced camaraderie clunking to the ground like anvils with paper wings pretending to be doves. Oh, Lord.
    I doubt I’ll watch this show on purpose.

    No thanks, not gonna watch. The pilot was terrible. Forrest Whitaker might be a fine actor, but he sure didn’t show it in the pilot. The other characters were inane, unimaginative stock characters and I can’t see Janeane Garofalo as an improvement.

    Another has been movies actors/actress going to TV.

    Really CBS, you think that hiring names actors will get the CM fans to watch the spin off? No way! After what you did to AJ and Paget I will never watch the spin off, no ONE second of it!

        I sure will continue to support the cast and crew on CM! No reason not too! Firing AJ and reducing Paget episodes was NOT a decision made by the CM people but by CBS. No reason to boycott CM.

        But hey you can continue to watch CBS like a lemming. I will not watch BBT or anything else on that Network and once CM is over, I will do like I do with NBC and stop watching!

        I’ll still watch the original CM, through the end of **SEASON 6**, AJ’s and Paget’s last season, and then I’m dropping CM. I’m not going to watch the CM spinoff AT ALL. CBS brought this on themselves. I’ve been watching CM since the beginning, but after Season 6, I’m done with it.

    No idea who she is. And still not watching the spin-off.

    Wow, this spin-off just guaranteed it’s cancellation. Her character in 24 was bad enough, this practically guarantees it’ll suck and get canceled. Will it even last a season now?

      That’s right! I’m really surprised at CBS even considering her…..

    Love her but still won’t watch the show. I couldn’t stomach an entire show with Forest Whitaker’s droopy eyelid even for Janeane.
