Good for me, and if people don't want to wait or watch, fine, there's no law that says they have to. Bye bye. I can't wait for next season....but I'm going to have to ;0)
It's my understanding that it's not part of any constitution that anyone at all has to watch LOCI. I 'lost interest' in 'Without a Trace' a long time ago, but somehow it never have occurred to me to go to a site dedicated to anyone in it's cast to say so. USA have commissioned an 8th year of 'Criminal Intent' and speaking personally, as long as the wonderful Vincent D'Onofrio is in it, I'll eagerly wait for it's return and I'll certainly be watching. Who knows where the new script writers will take our detectives? I'm looking forward to finding out :)
Lizzie *ticking off the days until whenever in March*
Your commwnts certainly raised my eyebrows; thanks for this "eyebrow exercise"......!!
(And you both have "numbered" screen names; such an interesting coincidence)
And very well said Eizabeth.
Mr. Wolf has alresdy declared that he has no saying in the schedules -and it's rather irrational to believe that Vincent or anyone else in the CI team'd have one, except Mr. Wolf.
So, what's with the "boycott"...??
As a humble, rather well experienced fan, I dare gauranty that Vincent's and CI's true fans won't be able "not to watch", once S8 starts, be it on March 2009, 2010, or 2011....
And frankly, I think that Vincent wouldn't mind if you don't wait anyway; he understands that the "Economiczilla" has given us so much to think about -regardless of where we live.
Our dear actors have enough on their minds, with the "strike storm" on the horizon.
If I ever come to the conclusion of not wanting to watch CI any more; the least ethical gesture might've been showing my gratitude for 7 wonderful years in the amazing world of Bobby Goren -but maybe that's just me.
Also Tara it isn't Loci and the cast who are disrespecting the fans. It's USANetwork who are so thoughtless. I would be supprised if anyone from Loci knew anything about what happened when USA delayed the start of the new series.
I for one will be waiting with baited breath, a gallon of coffee and a large box of soft centre choccies.
I'll be there, with bells on. But this is exactly what I was afraid would happen: people losing interest and not watching the show when it returns in March. Hopefully, USA will promo the hell out of it before the first eppy airs!
Hey that's better than the April comments I last heard floating around the Internet. I hope Jeff's right...the sooner CI's back on USA the better.
If someone wants to give me a heck of a 40th birthday present move the CI premiere date to February 24 ;-) I won't complain!
Of course I'm still rooting for my 1st choice birthday (& Christmas) present: a great deal for SAG so everything can get back into some kind of routine.
Ok, I wish they would have had their new season in Nov. but it didn't. Now it is going to be March. Until then I will just keep watching and re-watching LOCI on my DVR.
Love Mr. D'Onofrio and will wait with my chocolates and merlot by the TV.
There's going to be 16 episodes sometime during the next year. Whether it's one month or four months from now doesn't make much difference because no matter what, it's 16 days with new eps and 349 days we'll have to make do with reruns.
It's not the show nor the actors who have little respect for us the viewer---It is the executive in charge of programing. Some young friggin' over-educated moron who doesn't have a clue about what we the viewers want...like many young people the network wants instant gratification. And they put the shows where they want when they want. USA is still showing May as the season premiere I do not know where Goldblum got March
Okay, I'm putting in my two cents. I have been a fan of the show from the very first ep and I am willing to wait. After all, March is my birthday month. I love all the characters in the show, (even though I think Noth was a total brat).Support our show! I think the naysayers here sound like kids. Those of us with a few years on us (and I am still in the 18-49 prime demographic)enjoy quality television, and are willing to WAIT FOR IT!!! And yes, the network is at fault, not the characters. So there, LOL!
After my first post I now realise I was upset with the wrong people. I agree that the network is only concerned about whats good for them. I just hope they do a great job with advertising it when the season starts so eveyone knows when to watch.
too bad Goldblum didn't mention Vincent in his interview. That would have been nice.
USA is the one that's screwing the fans. And "fans" are just that...FANS. We weather the ups and downs, whether we want to or not, but we stick with it. Let the rats jump ship......it leaves more LOCI for us!!! LOL
phillipo......I'm a fat lady and I AIN'T singing yet!!
As long as Vincent is still part of CI, I will wait and watch with great anticipation whenever they air the new season- I believe that USA is doing this for the good of the show- And I believe that I mentioned before that because of the writers' strike that popular shows like 24 and Rescue Me will be restarting one year after they were last on- Now what about those fans- I will be there as a loyal Vincent and CI fan whenever the new episodes are aired- Regi.
I'm PO'd with the delay, boggle eyed from watching old episodes, starved for any and all info about Vincent's activities, obsessed with any news about filming new episodes of LOCI and impatient for a confirmed date for the premiere of Season 8. That being said, I'll wait until hell freezes over as long as I have a new season to look forward to. Have mercy, USA!!! I NEED a new Bobby fix.
'Frame' was watched by 5.2 million people, a record for it on USA. From comments here, that's now -3, and that's assuming those 3 even bothered to watch it, so I wouldn't worry too much Snarkangel. It's unlikely USA has a list they're crossing ex-viewers names and addresses off anyway. I'm SURE we can't be the only ones waiting for a new season,even if it FEELS like it. Have faith; LOCI is a strong show with a wonderful cast,it WILL be back, and those of us who genuinely love it will be there - including those of us on the 'wrong' side of the pond who have to wait for downloads ;0)
Those of us who have endured troll attacks in the past know that they put numbers after their names in a blogger profile that was only just registered. Can people at TheReel please exercise the comment moderation you have at your disposal to weed these people out before true VDO and LOCI fans have a seizure at their non-fan comments and conduct? You are not obliged to respect the "free speech" of these unpleasant people - it is YOUR blog.
Thank you, TheReel, you are so sweet with your response. I have been reading your blog for so many years now and no way am I attacking my Vincent. Just because I have numbers next to my name doesn’t make me a troll. It took me a long time to return to your blog because it wouldn’t let me log in with my username anymore.
Saghy2, the admin knows my IP address. She will tell you whether I am that person or not. Next time, ask, before you judge. If I am that person, the admin should’ve deleted the post of that person you accused me of. You have a number 2. Does that make you a troll too?
I am sorry if I offended everyone with my first post. Originally, that was just a joke. Of course, I am going to keep on watching the show because of Vincent.
Again, thank you, TheReel, for your response, and for your wonderful work of Vincent blog.
Keiko has visited us for several years and often emails tips and other goodies, as many of you do so often.(a big thanks for that)
Most of the posters here are frequent visitors, and always respectful when commenting, if sometimes outspoken. We considered negative comments (and responses to them) regarding CI's late return to be a result of frustration with the lack of information and perpetual waiting, and not meant to be derogatory to anyone.
Our intention is for this to be a fun place to catch up on Vincent's doings and sincerely attempt to not hurt anyone's feelings.
I can see that your hurt and angry -just can't see why it's being projected towards me.
I never used the word " troll" -as a matter of fact, this is the very first time I'm typing the word on this blog -or any other- cause I've never felt the need to.
So please be fair enough to go through the comments once again, and decide who you should've been sending this message to, in the first place.
On the other hand, it's apparently a trend, to use the 3 letters "LOL", or some sort of remark, or -at the very least- a couple exclamation marks, when one's making a joke, that otherwise might be interpreted as offensive -you agree with me, that this was a very critical neglence, on your part,
My dear blogmate, put yourself in their shoes -as well as mine- and imagine reading what you had posted about CI's team -which you agree wasn't really fair, nor justified- coming from someone with an unknown screenname....
With all the Vincent bashing, coming from people who apparently enjoy hurting or destroying whatever good is left in the world, you shouldn't be surprised at the reaction you got.
I believe that you'd have certainly felt hurt and had shown some reaction, had it been you, reading your comment.
I hope that TheReel friends actually post your response, it'd certainly clear all this misunderstanding.
Of course, I'd have to reply to your response there once angain, for the sake of clarity...!!
It matters, because it's our mutual interest in a wonderful guy, that's brought us together.

I don't know... I got tired of waiting... I don't think I'm going to watch CI anymore.
Good for me, and if people don't want to wait or watch, fine, there's no law that says they have to. Bye bye. I can't wait for next season....but I'm going to have to ;0)
Yes, I too have lost interest.
They obviously didn't care about this show, how sad for the actors.
Well, I'm certainly not a 'fair weather fan'! I'd wait as long as I had to for Criminal Intent. Looking forward to March :)
I love LOCI but it's hard to give my loyalty to a show who clearly has no respect for it's viewers.I will wait, but how many won't?

ladies, ladies
those of you who say you wont wait...
wudda ya gonna?
not turn on your tv when the season starts?
u r a bit peeved right now, thats understandable but once the season starts "you'll be bok"
im sure of it.
feel free to vent and share your discouragement. its healthy.
the real fans (like jon and me) will stay loyal until-as much as i hate to say it- the fat lady sings.
then we can find vincent behind the camera and hopfefully in theatre. who knows maybe he'll get back into magick.
every year we wait, for birthdays, thanksgiving, christmas, ground hog day...and we love them all
its hard, i know, but be patient. i know it will be worth it.
march is not that far away,
hey.. last time i looked i was 25, now 45 is around the corner
oh how fast time flies

March says Jeff Goldblum?
I can definitely handle that!

Thanks Val for your thoughts. We didn't feel any of the comments published (some weren't) were inflammatory or mean-spirited.
