i will miss vincent donofrio&katherine erbe.it will never be the same and my husband and i will not be watching it anymore.

While I really enjoy D'Onofrio, I think this is the right choice. He has been sleepwalking through this role for the past year and it was just getting painful to watch. Hopefully he can find a film role to spark his interest and transform back into the captivating actor he is when he is at his best.

Criminal Intent won't be the same when D'Onofrio and Erbe are gone, in fact I never liked it without them. I guess I'll have do some recording of the old episodes to get my daily dose of Goren.

I think Jeff Goldblum did a good job. I liked Goren the first few seasons, but recently he's become too intense for my liking. I'm sad to see him and the others go but it won't stop me from watching.

I've watched this show since the beginning. D'Onofrio and Erbe are great. Goldblum is also terrific. They need to pair him with someone outstanding..........I will continue watching.....

BENJAMIN BRATT !

Finally! D'Onofio's performance and tics just annoyed the crap out of me. I will miss Erbe, though, saw her first on Oz and loved her there, loved her here.

And btw, Carla Gugino didn't fight much crime in Sin City. She got kidnapped, had her hand cut off, and then was shot and killed.

Well Vincent's leaving, So am I

no vinnie,no jackie.Show will suck without him and erbe.Never liked capt ross either.

This isn't over and they didn't quit. So how about this: Let's cast Vincent D'Onofrio as Detective Robert Goren and Kathryn Erbe as his partner Detective Alex Eames? Wouldn't that be an amazing show?

When LOCI moved to USA I invested in a tv satellite system so I could watch my two favorite detectives Goren and Eames. Won't need it anymore. I will be tossing the box.

Facebook keeps asking me to add Vincent D'Onofrio as a friend. Could it actually be him?

Here is a something to think about, bring the both back in made for tv movies. That worked with other shows. Fans would look foward to that for sure.

D'onofrio and Erbe were the show! I like Chris Noth! Never ever, ever cared for Bogosian. I'll have to make do with old ones. ):

Goren hasn't been an interesting character in years, and poor Eames wasn't really allowed to be her own character, so I think this news can only be for the better of the series.

Join The Fight To Save Goren and Eames!!!

I've been taken for a great ride - the fabulous evolution of Robert Goren. He began as a precocious puppy and matured through adversity to a dignified mature man, all incarnations brilliantly and subtly portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio. Kathryn Erbe’s Eames is his perfect fit. Yin to his Yang. I mourn the loss of their characters and celebrate the pleasure they have given me. When they are gone from Criminal Intent, so am I.

ok...thats it for me...without D'Onofrio there is no reason whatsoever to watch this show..i can not believe these fools are going to let him (and her) go.Do they really not realize that he MADE this show???? Stupid is as stupid does.

My name is Nantz and I wanted to make you aware of a massive writing campaign that the fans of LOCI have been involved with. We have been sending postcards, emails, snail mail, tweets and posting everywhere we can to get our message out there of our displeasure at the dumping of Vincent D’Onofrio, Katie Erbe and Eric Bogosian. In answer to USA Network’s trending towards “lighter fare” and “fluff” I have come up with the idea to send jars and jars of “Fluff” (that’s the marshmallow crème) to the execs to let them know they can “stuff their fluff”. As soon as the season premiere airs and all the aforementioned actors are gone, so are we, and long with us the ratings will go too. Not such good news for a cable network that is currently #1 and the reason they have such high ratings is because of shows like LOCI in the first place. Our voices have been heard as we have been highlighted in “Examiner.com” twice now. Soon cases of Fluff, cotton balls, polyfill will arrive and right now they are being inundated with thousands of letters and postcards. WE control the numbers and if it’s all about the almighty dollar in cutting these actors because of their salaries then they will find out what exactly numbers really mean.

Donofrio and Erbe were totally played in my opinion. I remember an interview last year where Donofrio stated that from what he understood, S8 would have a lot about Goren finding his nephew and that we didn't see the last from him. Dick Wolf said Goren was 'down but not out' and now look at it. Not only did Goren have new family members that popped up out of nowhere (which was just weird), they didn't touch the Donny storyline at all, and they didn't even get to progress his character past the grieving process. I heard in an interview awhile back that Eames was supposed to have a more equal role and that didn't really happen.

Looking back, all of the above, plus the writing blunders (Josh Snow anyone?), and the major pay cuts they asked them to take, it's clear there really wasn't a choice here. Regardless of their feelings, Donofrio/Erbe were pushed out when the quality of the show started to decrease this past year.

I hope the show begs them to come back with lots of money and good storylines (one where Goren isn't tortured)...OR Donofrio/Erbe go on to do regular (good) work that will allow us fans to watch and enjoy.
