Personally, I am pissed that A) they dumped J.J. (A.J. Cook) from Criminal Minds and seem to be squeezing Prentice (Paget Brewster) out a bit as she has been forced to accept a reduced role while all of this seems geared toward saving money on the original and putting it into the spinoff; B) that they got rid of the original Law & order in favour of the cheaper Law & Order: Los Angeles spinoff and have yet to cancel the abysmal Law & Order: Criminal Intent - if they had wanted to save money they should've canceled that one; and C) that Raising the Bar was canceled as I was really enjoying that show.
And yet, they continue to feed people an unending diet of crappy reality shows simply because they are cheaper to produce. If only people would refuse to be sucked in and stop watching them, maybe we could get some decent shows back on TV. I won't hold my breath though.
I'm not so concerned about Sheen's salary as his show has consistently been one of the highest ranked comedies on television. What bugs me is that the network got rid of A.J. and is marginalizing Paget simply as a cost cutting measure. They are trying to cut costs on the original while putting out a spin-off that I don't think is going to be anywhere near as good. Despite the high salary that Whittaker will command for that show, the rest of the actors won't make much so they will be saving money. But that spin-off won't last long so they are kind of shooting themselves in the foot and are screwing up the entire franchise in the process. Criminal Minds is a great show but I am convinced they are going to screw it up entirely. I'm also hoping they don't bring back any 'super criminals who cannot be stopped' storylines (like the one involving Gideon and the other one about the guy who killed Hotch's ex-wife) as I find them to be ridiculously stupid. Personally, I think those storylines detract from an otherwise well written show.
They canned the more expensive original Law & Order in favour of the L.A. based one that is nowhere near as good (and that I don't think will last more than a season or two). To me, this was done as a cost cutting measure but, in doing so, they have messed up the franchise. I can see Criminal Minds heading down the exact same path.

It would make an interesting painting.
The women's bathroom was backasswards too. My guess is the signs were ordered afterwards, so they wouldn't look completely stupid. I would have loved to have been there when the doors were delivered.
