I don’t see that Cote said anything inappropriate. Wow! How often do we see a woman stand up to the “old boy” network in Hollywood? Patricia Arquette did it at the Academy Awards and brought the likes of Meryl Streep to her feet. Of course the joke is that all off the executive producers have some degree of input except for Bellisario. They are producers with an atta boy or atta girl ( producer is a term used for writers of a particular episode.)

Number 4 again you guys know better than I. Number 3, well Bellisario gets this one as an honorarium, since he has been banned from the creative process since season 5. Number two is the head writers (I’m sure you guys know who they are.) Number one is of course Gary Glasberg-Yes he is responsible for the whole ball of wax (about a year ago he said that one of his duties was to keep the higher ups (the execs) happy) Executive producers fall into one of the these four categories: 1) the showrunner is the chief executive in charge of every thing related to the production of the show, including the development and daily management of the show, 2) head writers, 3) The CEO of the production company who distributes the show, and 4) a producer on the show who has climbed his way up. Oh the mirth you created, distracted me from my point. Someone should give that guy a raise.As amusing as this is, I’m out of here. Oh, I get it ! The $20 an hour janitor is writing the show. And not too long back LSylvaxx said that Glasberg has no responsibility for the writing. It was about who is responsible for the writing on this show.ĭo you really think that Harmon has no input? So, the writers have no input to the show either? Well, you said the execs have no input. Gotta wonder what her possible future bosses thought if they saw the video. It’s unfortunate that at a Q&A for The 33, she chose to whine about the show that gave her her wealth and fame. She got TDK on the basis of her popularity as ziva. Not like she had anything going on in her life after she filmed PPF.Ĭote should know that in H’wood, you’re only as successful as your last part/show. Maybe she should have given the show more time to actually do a proper exit. Oh wait…she didn’t like the exit? Maybe she should have given the show more notice and not acted like everything was great and she was coming back at Upfronts. Her comments made it seem like she’d seen a script for an appearance and rejected it because she didn’t like the way ziva was written or what would happen to her.įor her to suddenly criticize the writing now is really ridiculous since the whole time she was on the show in every interview she pushed a for a romance for ziva and to be allowed to be a girl instead of being the fighter.She wanted meat to play – well she got it in season 10.

Rumors flew during season 12 that the set up with Sergei was perfect for a ziva return. It appears she was more talking about what might have come in season 12 and not the writing she acted out for 8 years. For three years when asked why she left she responded with “It was a personal decision.” How long was she supposed to wait before she could say that it was about the writing? Until she was 80? This is America not some totalitarian police state. Her contract ran out at the end of season 10 and yet you act like for the rest of her life her priority is to support CBS. She simply said, “No.” She is not an employee of CBS anymore. “I’m not allowed to talk about that.” That sounds like “Yes.” She doesn’t work for CBS. “I don’t know.” That’s a lie and sounds stupid. She said, “No.” What was she supposed to say? “Yes.” That’s a lie. How did she injure them? She was asked if she would be coming back for Tony’s send off. He used to be Gibbs’s “go to guy.” Now that honor falls to McGee and Bishop. He has been standing around with little to do for three seasons. I think it’s a shame how Michael Weatherly’s Tony has been written for three seasons. Most specifically how they were going to write Ziva, a character that she loved and had invested 8 years of her life playing.

She said nothing about the cast being bad.
