Jorja Fox (Sara Sidle) tried to stage a no-show for more money. This was two years ago so it may have changed but they have one year left on their contracts unless it was redone. To me, these procedural shows are less about the actors and more about the story so they are fairly replaceable (see Law and Order). If I was on these shows, I would thank my stars and cash the checks.
YEAH!!! for The Amazing Race.

The original story has been updated:
So, I guess that makes it only a half-season renewal so far?
CBS has ordered the 10th edition of THE AMAZING RACE for Fall 2006 but has not announced an 11th edition yet.

Those 2 CSI people thought they were more important than the producers thought they were and they got dropped when they asked for more money. Other than H and Gil, I would think they consider any of the cast expendable.

Glad to see How I met your Mother get another season...By no means a great show, but I enjoy watching it as it gives some light hearted fare for the week.
