SAVE Law & Order: Criminal Intent - Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe HAVE BEEN FIRED!
There is a major upheaval going on right now. The USA network has fired two of it’s biggest stars on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe (Goren and Eames) have been handed their walking papers. After you see them in the 2-part season 9 premiere, they will be gone.
I can’t believe that they aren’t even giving the fans a whole season to ’say their goodbyes’, they only get 2 episodes. Jeff Goldblum will now headline the show solo. I am a Goldblum fan, but this can’t be the same show without Kate and Vince.
There is a big campaign rolling right now to boycott the USA network and to save the stars of the show. Click here to help the cause is you are a true fan of Law & Order: Criminal Intent! Your help is needed!

Thanks for your help. I am a part of the campaign to save Vincent and Kate, and appreciate your help. I am very upset with USA for doing this, for treating both the actors and the fans like this. I will be one of the ones boycotting USA. I can’t believe they would even TRY to replace Vincent– he IS Criminal Intent, and has carried the show for 8 years. I will not be watching C.I. without him. And without him, it really won’t be C.I.
Thanks so much for that article and your support. I don’t know what USA was thinking as they give away Kathryn and Vincent. These two are Criminal Intent and without them it will get dark, really dark.
Thank you so much, Jennifer G. for this article. We need to get the word out to fans of the show and your support is greatly appreciated!
I have been a fan of Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe as Goren and Eames since the first show, 8 years ago. Letting them go is a huge mistake by USA Network! Goren and Eames ARE Criminal Intent! They are IRREPLACEABLE! If anyone at USA Network had a brain, s/he would beg them to stay for one more season and complete the stories of our beloved characters! A two part goodbye is insulting! I will never watch the show without them!

I would also like to thank you so much for your help. I LOVE Law & Order: Criminal Intent. It is my favorite show. I can’t imagine the show without Goren and Eames. USA Network does not understant that No Goren and Eames, means there will be no ‘Criminal Intent’! Goren and Eames ARE Criminal Intent!
Without Goren and Eames, the show would need to be called something different.
Law & Order: The Light Mysteries (Seriously?)
I like Jeff Goldblum, and I do enjoy his episodes. However, Goren and Eames are really the heart and soul of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
I hope USA Network will reconsider and bring back Goren, Eames, and Ross!!!!
I, along with many others, are extremely disappointed with the direction USA is taking with Criminal Intent.
The show will never be the same, and I will no longer be a viewer.
Thanks for the article! I can’t believe they really leave! And even if they really have to leave they should at least give us a whole season. It’s just the plain truth that series after some time will also be about the actors, they become the show. I also can’t believe they just keep quiet all the time. Just tell us!!
Thanks, again, Jennifer! We need a lot of publicity for this campaign to work! Thank you for taking the time to help us! I am definitely part of the daily campaign. We feel the actors have been totally disrespected by USA, whether they were outright fired or “encouraged to leave”. There can be no show without Goren and Eames. I, for one, will be gone once they are!
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vincent and Kate are the show. I will not watch USA again. Only watched Criminal Intent and Monk. Nothing worth watching now. Just the news.
I am shocked that a network that claims “charactors welcome”, is doing this to 3 of the best actors on television. Perhaps “CERTAIN charactors welcome” is a more appropriate phrase. Vincent and Katie have carried this series from day one, and Eric only adds to it. I for one will not watch USA when they are gone, unless of course they add a new series featuring Vincent and Katie. I fully support Vincent, Katie, and Eric if this was their choice…. but If this is another network playing hardball at the expense of the fans and actors, I cannot and will not support USA, or it’s sponsors. If it is about money, think twice USA, hire someone to do a better budget to keep quality in your programming! Yes! they’re worth it!
The “lighter tone” we have been hearing about for USA in their press releases and interviews with Bonnie Hammer is completely inappropriate for Law & Order: Criminal Intent. This show is a crime drama, it was not meant to be a lighthearted dramedy. USA has plenty of those, but they also air repeats of Law & Order: SVU, which is far darker than CI. Clearly, the darker shows are still drawing ratings, or the network wouldn’t air them at all. It is fine for a network to have a theme for its original series, but CI is part of a larger franchise, did not start out as a USA original, and should continue in the spirit of the crime drama family it is a part of. That is why fans tune in. They wouldn’t be tainting their other shows by keeping it true to its spirit. They could air it with In Plain Sight, show an SVU rerun afterwards, and bill it as “USA’s Night of Crime.” There are many ways around this issue without ruining the show by retooling it beyond recognizability.
Once Goren and Eames are gone, so am I. I am stunned that USA has dumped these amazing stars who have created and nurtured their characters over 8 seasons. Without them, it’s not Criminal Intent.
I Like D’onofrio, Erbe, and Bogosian on Criminal intent. I believe it is terrible that USA has not kept them on the show. Won’t be the same show without them. Hope USA will reconsider!
Vincent d’onofrio is the only reason i watch ci…if he goes then so doi!!!!!
Good riddens. Vincent D’Onofrio is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. Everything he says is so painfully slow with unnecessary pauses between words. His character on the show is pompous and obnoxious. I have nothing against the actress who plays Eames but her character is pretty boring. She never figures anything out. Just follows her partner around.
I appreciate Vincent, Kate and Eric. I think LOCI could have used some better script writing. I thought it was time for Goren to get married and start a new chapter in his life. At any rate, they are all terrific actors and I trust that we will see them in some other shows / roles or films, and perhaps on the major networks, not just cable channels. I could see them playing other serious roles, not just as police.
I have watched CI from the beginning due to Vincent D’Onofrio…Jeff will never make the grade…TPTB are shooting themselves in the foot….So long USA…shudda listened to the fans…………..
I adore Vincent D’Onofrio (Bobby) and his relationship with partner Kathryn Erbe (Eames). I am heartbroken that the last episode with them will be coming up soon. I can only hope that reruns go on and on and on and on …. not of the other people on the show, of Goren and Eames !! THEY ARE LOCI.
After that last episode, GOODBYE to future episodes of LOCI.
I am still weeping over the cancellation of LOCI, b/c that is essentially what USA has done. They can name the new show, THE Jeff Goldblum Show. D’Onofrio and Eames are CI. Do the producers really believe that anyone is going to watch CI. Despite what Hitchcock says, actors are not furniture. The 2009 season was so weak that it was often painful to watch especially when there are reruns popping up on more and more channels that remind us of the glory, gitty days. I love all the L&O’s and I have watched all of the series from the beginning, but I will boycott them all and USA. I’d rather that they just cancel the show than to leave a shell where an ocean once dwelt.
(to kathyk) “I’d rather that they just cancel the show
than to leave a shell where an ocean once dwelt.”
I wish I’d said that !! You hit the nail on the head.
I AM VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTED ABOUT VINCENT D’0N0FRIO LEAVING CRIMINAL INTENT AND WHEN HE LEAVES, I LEAVE CRIMINAL INTENT AND USA. USA WAS MY FAVERITE STATION FOR THE LONGEST TIME, BUT NO MORE. I WOULD LIKE TO,KNOW WHEN THE NEW SEASON BEGINS. AFTER THE FIRST TWO EPISODES, I SAY GOODBYE TO USA.
Vincent d’onofrio is the only reason i watch law and order criminal intent. Without Goren and Eames the show is nothing.
PS. Jeff Goldblum is not worth watching and i will not watch
