Eads, who is No. 2 on the call sheet of the CBS reboot, announced that he wanted to leave the show and producers agreed to let him out of his contract, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His final episode is expected to air in 2019. This is the second time Eads has had trouble on a CBS show. He took a leave of absence from CSI following an on-set clash with one of the writers.

334. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 11/28 **#6** (https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/11/blind-item-6_28.html)
This A- list mostly television actor has proven time and time again that if you hire him, you will regret it. Producers keep doing it anyway and then seem shocked when they are on the receiving end of an almost daily berating about things they could be doing better. The actor will scream at anyone and is miserable to work with.

This is the only character left that I like on the new MacMyver and he will be soon be gone. The other character was the original head of the Phoenix Institute, the attractive lady.

This show is AWFUL. I tried watching a few episodes in season 1 and it started out OK but then it got worse and worse to the point where it was almost unwatchable!
