Kim says
Criminal Minds is the best show ever!! We need season 11!!!!
EGuth3 says
Yeah, its my favorite show and I’ve been a huge fan for a every long time. Its like watching a movie thriller each week. The only actor who I think might not return might be Thomas Gibson, since his family lives in Texas. I’m happy that the transition of Jennifer Love Hewett which has gone much better then it did with Jeanne Tripplehorn, which was a horrible. I think she’s a better fit. Its still has some decent ratings after 10 years of being on the air. It has even increased in the ratings lately, so cancellation if doubtful. Since its already known that Matthew character Spencer love life will be explored in Season 11, we know he will be back, he renewed his contract 2 years ago and is scheduled to direct more episodes so he’ll return but the others whom I believe will be Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, Kirsten Vangsness and AJ Cook are all on a year to year contract and I’m sure Jennifer signed her contract last year for a two year run. I hope they all come back. I couldn’t imagine the show without any of them gone. It also has great syndication potential on ION and A&E.
MAIN says
No. Matthew’s contract this time is actually 1year.
That’s why Harry said, CM has been waiting for “6” main casts to renew their contracts.
Can’t you count or do simple math?
It’s JLH who has done 2years contracts.
EM is IDIOT as always, just she blurred.
No. We are waiting for Reid’s contract too.
And I wish MGG don’t renew his contract this time.
ENOUGH of ENOUGH this shitty show’s manner of ditreatment of him!
Lea says
Don’t Be So impudent Main! You could of left the whole can u count part out of your comment. Trying to make someone look or feel less able by being offensive doesn’t get your point across. just shows how truly insolent and ill-mannered you truly are!
Sarah Norris says
Yes!!!! Please don’t cancel my favorite show. I have watched it since the beginning.
CriminalMinds says
YEAH PLEASE DON’T CANCEL. Its my favorite show. I am planning to have my birthday party all Criminal Minds theme. If u cancel I will cry all week and will ruin my birthday next year. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL.
Elise says
YES! You cannot cancel it! I know I would also cry for weeks!
Jeannette says
Are you kidding? Rock’n’roll on season 11!
screaming John says
Don’t you dare cancel my favorite show.
First Miami CSI get cancelled by some group of idiots and now this network wants to consider dropping this show?
Please don’t do it.
Shonni Tisdwell says
Criminal Minds is the Best and Awesome Show Keep it, DO NOT CANCEL MY FAVORITE SHOW!
jlf says
I wish they would bring back the character Emily Prentiss.Didn’t like Ele from the first few seasons. Loved Gideon, and Rossi was a good replacement. Blake grew on me.Sorry she left. that leaves Jennifer Love-Hewitt. I thought she was great in Ghost Whisperer. But I don’t think she fits into this character. Hopefully this character isn’t Criminal Minds downfall. Oh and I was sad to see Hotch’s girlfriend Beth gone. She was good for him. PLEASE CBS, DON’T CANCEL MY FAVORITE SHOW!!!!
Ezil says
Agree with u, Jennifer love Hewitt totally not fit in the show!
Alan says
Best Show on TV….please continue
Emilee says
Please don’t cancel Criminal minds, otherwise there are going to be A LOT of angry and upset people (Approx. 3 Billion of us). You need to go on to at least a season 20 XD More would be good after that too…
Elise says
I totally agree! At least season 20… I don’t even care if you have to replace some main characters, just get good replacements! I just don’t want to see it go! I’ve watched it from the beginning!!!
Tianna says
Totally agree with everyone. I’m a HUGE fan of the show.. I’ve watched every single episodes at least 10 times. I’ve been watching this show since the day it came out.. I would be devastated to see my favourite TV show of all time be cancelled.. PLEASE RENEW CRIMINAL MINDS!!
T.Nash says
I wholeheartedly agree with you , I have been
watching this show since the very beginning and I absolutely Love it !!!
I watch and record every old show and the new ones. Big mistake if it isn’t renewed for 11th season!
Joanne Judd says
Love love yhis show please dont cancel have neen watching this from the start
tyler keen says
Please please keep this show going for another 10 season best show ever cant miss an episode im addicted i watch it every day must have seen every episode a couple dozen times if they do not renew it i wilk never watch anything on cbs again
Ariel says
Please don’t cancel my favorite show, I love this show! I want a lot more seasons
lennis says
I would love to see Emily com back, or at least get someone who fits in. They should look at the actress who played on CSI New York, she also played on House for a while as a love interest of his from the past. Why don’t they let Derek and Penelope get together. I am tired of the flirting. I think it is the best drama on television.
april says
Please renew criminal minds I love this show and would love to see what season 11 brings.
Lara says
Don’t take my favorite show!! RENEW CRIMINAL MINDS! WE WANT SEASON 11!!!!! (and season 12, 13, 14….)
Susan says
I have been a faithful fan of criminal minds since day 1. I have seen every episode at least 20 X’s and I own seasons 1- 8. I have considered becoming a criminal forensic analyst because of the show. Please don’t discontinue the show. Every one I know watches and talks about the show. I am a student and the show comes up frequently in several of my classes. Too many followerShe to just end it now.
Jackie says
I read in a interview Shemar Moore have that he was leaving CM after season ten cancel or not . Is that true? Can the show go on without him?
MAIN says
When ugly Morgan is fans and viewers’ most faved character IDIOT?
It’s Reid, ALWAYS Reid, OK?
All Shame UGLY Moom can do is dropping ratings.
All Morgan centric eps are LOW ratings.
And the leading star is Thomas Gibson.
Don’t make me laugh troll.
And please UGLY Shamer Moore.
LEAVE.
We are ENOUGH of ENOUGH of YOU and YOUR NOISY MINORITY FANS.
Kate says
Wow Main, (with all Caps- usually means you are screaming) Hate much?
Maybe if you stopped hating people so much and started liking life a little more and looking
at the Criminal minds for what it is a T.V. Show to sit back and enjoy you would appreciate it
for what it is.
BTW, did you know that several of the stars on the show modeled for professional establishments prior to starring on the show. UGLY is in the eye of the beholder and it usually come from within . . . Look deep inside MAIN you might not like what you see.
Meanwhile, grab some popcorn & matcha green tea and zen out like the rest of us Criminal mind fans who enjoy beautiful people and interesting plot lines.
I had a chance to meet with the writer’s of the show and He is a very intelligent person who was articulate and light hearted. Never judge a book by the way you think they look based on your prejudice.
Hopefully Criminal Minds will be like Law & Order and stay on forever with fresh story lines that keep us guessing and on our toes!
Lea says
I Believe with all of that you might need to be profiled Main! Looks like someone is a little jealous of someone’s very good looks! Careful there Main don’t want to show to much of the real you there! !!!!!!! LOL:O)
Dani says
I really want Criminal Minds to make a season 11 and many seasons after that! Jennifer Love Hewitt was an awesome addition! She is so hot and caring. She’s the package deal. Just like the hottie JJ.
fan girl says
Please keep criminial minds going awesome show really enjoy on a weekly basis and have watched several reruns over and over again would like to see Gideon come back for a show or two like Rossi very much as well. Reid is the brains of the show and a really good actor and director of the shows he has done as well. Like all the characters of the show but Jennifer Love Hewitt is not made for this show stick to the ones she is good in really liked ghost whisper and she was awesome in that role not so much in this one but at least she brancehes out and gives things a try. Yeah for her look forward to season 11 hope it continues for many many more never get sick of this show. And lets face it there is always a story line for this show as where there are so many sickos out there to make it possible.
meggan says
I actually quite like Kate as a character. But I want Prentiss back a lot. As to wanting Gideon back: that’s a dead dream (just like him…). But we definantly need season 11
yvonne clifton says
Please don’t cancel criminal minds. The new shows are boring. criminal minds is everyone’s favorite. You will make a lot of people angry if it is canceled. Please bring it back for season 11. Gracious
Nicole says
It would be such a HUGE mistake to cancel this show as You should ALREADY KNOW…it is Mine…and SO many others favorite show. Seems as though you people keep making these crappy sitcoms that seem to last forever…yet…you question as to whether to cancel one of the BEST SHOWS EVER…there can’t possibly ever not be new material for this show, as someone else mentioned…and the mention of Shemar Moore leaving…you are FOOLS if you don’t give him what ever it takes to keep him…Jennifer Love Hewitt seems to be a good fit thus far…She and Reid would make the perfect couple, he deserves a good Woman…loved Emily Prentiss…she needs to be brought back, she should have never left…the Cast now…NEVER should be changed again, except to maybe bring back Emily and/or Gideon…I have every Season and episode up to Season 10…this show was…and still is a HUGE WINNER…Don’t be stupid and cancel it
Invisigoth says
Yes, let’s just ‘shipper the show to death like they did with X-Files. Seriously? This is a show about criminal profilers, not “As the World Turns” It’s a police procedural, we really don’t need characters hooking up with each other. The focus of the show is criminal deviants and how to catch them, distracting from that basic premise will ruin the show as it has done to many others.
You don’t date someone you work with and, in television land, it is the kiss of death. Look at Castle, that show has gone totally downhill since the main characters hooked up.
callie says
Invisigoth
research your shows. Castle is great n doing just as grwat if not better since the marriage of Rick n Kate. What are u watching??
Invisigoth says
p.s. Gideon’s dead and if you were a regular watcher of the show, you would have known that.
MAIN says
She is just another Shame Moron’s fans…noisy minority.
Ignore that kind of troll.
callie says
Callie:
Gideon is NOT dead. He had enough after a head was delivered to his PRIVATE cabin and he just quit walking off leaving a letter at the cabin addressed to Reid. Apparently you aren’t a true fan!!
JG says
Callie:
Gideon died this season. They found his body, then had a flashback when he and Rossi started the BAU…Gideon’s character was played by Ben Savage…he was killed by a guy Gideon had been chasing since the 1970’s…so yes you need to watch this season before you speak…
James Haucke says
I am far, far beyond the 18-49 demographic but that doesn’t prevent from liking this show and Stalker that immediately followed it. These shows made Wednesday night watchable. I am just sorry I didn’t discover it sooner.
Invisigoth says
As much as I love the show, I think it has reached the tipping point – to produce it any further would be to just ruin it. Some shows should end on a high note and I think CM is ready to do that, especially if rumors about Shemar Moore, Thomas Gibson and Matthew Gray Gubler not returning. All of their respective contracts are up this year.
A reboot with an all new team (keeping Penelope of course) would be great. But, I think I”m in the minority here.
Mary says
simply put….. Please DO NOT CANCEL
CRIMINAL MINDS!!!!!
Stephanie says
Please DO NOT CANCEL I love CRIMINAL MINDS!!!!!
Want to see Dr. Spencer Reid start dating maybe a genius girl
Christie ) says
All I can say is if they do end this show that I will be very disappointed if the don’t get Morgan and Garcia together. (just think of the gorgeous babies they would make)
cheri clark says
Don’t cancel criminal minds it’s my favorite show. Don’t CANCEL Please Don’t CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dawn chariton says
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SEASON 11 OF CRIMINAL MINDS LOVE THE SHOW ..NEVER MISS IT ..WISH CBS WOULD STOP TAKING IT OFF FOR OTHER SHOW LIKE SURVIVOR HATE THAT SHOW.. THERE TOO MANY OF THAT KIND OF SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tannerose5 says
I am definitely not in the 18-49 demographics. Let’s just say my kids are in their 40’s. Anyway, I love the father/son relationship of Rossi and Reid. I love the way the team works together. I have heard that Shemar Moore has always maintained he would be gone after 10 years. I just hope the rest of the cast doesn’t go with him. Please renew and make an old lady happy.
wilma says
PLEASE do not cancel my favorite show from day one!! We have watched every episode when it came out and re-runs over and over. It is absolutely the best criminal show ever produced; so realistic (skip the head on the platter ones in the restaurant…gross!!) Jennifer Hewitt Love doesn’t quite fit it so much. But please don’t cancel….PLEASE..PLEASE. Other crime shows just do not compare.
Rachelle Essex says
Criminal minds had been, and still is the best TV show ever… You all gave is ten years of happiness, so of course I pray for an eleventh season.. You guys after absolutely fantasti…. you all put your heat and souls into this wonderful show… I fell like I an part of your loving family.. Please don’t cancel out this show bc I will be absolutely heart broken.. Love you all
vivy says
Am so in love and addicted 2 dis movie.. love all d crews but pls want emily back she’s awesome miss her.. Pls dnt stop dis series pls nt now..
Cara @ Business Watch. says
We love Crime Watch, it is one of the all time favorite US crime shows over here in the UK, keep on keeping on is what we say.
april says
Nooooooooo!!!!! please renew criminal minds.this is the best show ever.please please please renew criminal minds. Love love love the show.
Bev says
Every time I find a show that I like it gets cancelled. I lost “24” which was my favorite until CM. Now I love CM. It gets better every year. The writers have an entire new group of characters to work with now than when they first began even though the new ones were original characters. For example, Reid goes through a door now, shoots the bad guy, had a love interest. J. J. kicks butt and is not the “Prom Queen” as first portrayed. I am not that crazy about Hewitt but she will do. I didn’t like Tripplehorn either at first but she grew on me. Now I miss her. They have so much story to work with now. Think of past baddies they could bring back. We don’t know if Frank and Jane got hit by the train or if they missed it when they jumped. It would be a huge mistake to cancel CM now. I would like to see if Hotch and Jessica get something going. Or if Emily comes back. You never know. No, cancelling would be a mistake. And as for Shemar leaving, I can only ask him why would he leave when he is on one of the top rated shows and plays the beloved Morgan? I don’t get it.
Autumn says
PLEASE RENEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING EMILY PRENTISS BACK!!!!!!!!!!SHE WAS THE BEST NONE OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS FIT SHE IS THE PERFECT ONE SHES BEEN WITH THEM THE LONGEST AND THE SHOW IS BETTER WITH HER IN IT THEY ARE LIKE A FAMILY ALL THE OTHERS WERE WEIRD AND DIDNT FILL HER ROLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amy says
I love watching Criminal Minds one of my favorite shows! I would love to see Emily Prentiss back. I’m not crazy about Hewitt. Please keep Criminal Minds going.
Rockell says
RENEW IT. And tbh I ship Morgan and Reid like crazy. GIVE ME ONE EPISODE WITH THEM. but seriously don’t cancel the show 🙂
Blondiegirl91 says
Please please please renew. Crying thinking about it ending at the same time am majorly crying at the thought of shemar moore not returning so heart sick right now
LAC says
It seems to me..that CBS is getting rid of excellent shows and getting set for entire revamped line-up..they have cancelled so many shows that I have/had been watching from S1E1..It has gotten so bad that I watch more on The CW or Netflix then anything else. I have also gone to shows on other channels like TNT, NBC…and this new CSI..Cyber is joke..it is so boring..it make watching paint dry a lot more fun.
sarah says
Love the show… Hope they have a few more seasons… I believe it has gown in popularity over the past year as everyone at our company watches this show (the ratings are steady; well at least according to the chart). Hoping they bring back Agent Emily Prentiss; she completed the family. Her replacement isn’t bad but it wouldn’t be heart breaking if she was killed in any of the episodes. Hope they keep the show; the spin off is horrible. I watched half of the first episode and turned it off; I may give it another shot but honestly the acting is horrible in this new spin off.
Irene says
I love Criminal Minds! Please, Please, Please renew Criminal Minds for several more season. Should bring back Emily Prentiss she was awesome on the show.
Jennifer says
Emily Prentist back please!! And keep on going to a lot more seasons!! Dont even think to cancel. I cant imagine what I will do without watching criminal minds anymore…
Noel Robledo says
i love this show very much and i want emily to return
Laurie says
PLEASE……DO NOT CANCEL CM AS THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TELEVISION!!!!!!! IT WOULD BE A “CRIME” TO CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!! AS ALL THE COMMENTS ABOVE STATED………YOU MUST BRING BACK EMILY PRENTISS AS SHE COMPLETES THE AMAZING CAST!!! I ALSO AGREE THAT JENIFER LOVE HEWITT IS NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THIS SHOW. I CONTINUE TO REPEATEDLY WATCH ALL THE RERUNS ON ION/A&E. RENEW AND BRING BACK EMILY PRENTISS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ann says
I’ve watched Criminal Minds from S1E1 and would love to watch it through many more seasons. I’m one of the dreaded Emily Prentiss lovers and would love to have her back on the show, but I know that is not going to happen, and I respect that. I really liked JLH in her role on the show, and I hate that she is also leaving. Maybe it’s time to leave that position unfilled for the time being.
I’m only worried that Thomas Gibson will decide not to re-sign, and if that happens, I won’t be watching anymore, and since Criminal Minds is my favorite show which I never miss, I will be heartbroken. If Shemar Moore leaves, it will be a blessing, since he’s not a favorite of mine. I’m tired of watching his anger and door kicking.
My one wish is that TPTB realize they need a fresh group of writers who truly understand the concept of Criminal Minds and turn them loose on the viewers. What we’ve been given these past few seasons is so not what Criminal Minds started out to be.
B.F.Y says
Reid is my favourite character and i would love to see more of him in season 11!
isabelle says
i dont like agent kate. she is not beautiful. i think she is totally not fither character. please emily return. and do not cancel criminal minds.
KIMBLES says
CRIMINAL MINDS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW. I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS BUT REID IS MY FAVORITE. PLEASE PLEASE KEEP RENEWING THIS SHOW FOR MANY MORE SEASONS. IT IS A CONSISTENTLY AMAZING SHOW.
MAIN says
ENOUGH of ENOUGH Shamer Moore.
Just KICK that UGLY ass out with his blind fans who are actually MINORITY.
The leading star is Thomas, and the most faved character by fans is always Reid, well hes an OVERWHELMING winner, NEVER Morgan.
But Shamer Moron and his fans who are mostly OLD act like Shamer Moron who is C ranked fake celeb is like a sole celeb in the show.
Seriously this show won’t be hurt a bit by the idiot’s leaving.
I even think Shame’s leave will bring ex-viewers back to the show and ratings will be improved.
Seriously ENOUGH.
ENOUGH of Shamer Moron.
If that ZERO talen ignorant bitch, EM keeps on focusing only on UGLY Moron, S11 will be the final season anyway owing to too miserable ratings. LOL.
Venny says
Thomas used to look good ages ago. Now, with those bags under his eyes…not so much. I’m thinking his character on the show is supposed to be stoic and wooden, otherwise his acting would get on my nerves because that’s not acting. Shemar Moore is a good-looking guy; unless you’re one of those people that don’t see any person of color as good-looking; then it’s on you. Also, please do us all a favor and learn how to write proper English sentences. Thanks.
Odd says
Criminal Minds is not as it once was. The cases don’t shock me anymore, just another cop show. And what’s up with everyone talking about their feelings all of sudden?
Yuune says
Its my favorite show, and though I may not always agree on the
character development I see the need for it, and later enjoy their
small talks.
I hope Kate comes back in the future.
If they are exploring a little bit of Reid s love life
I liked the Einstein girl in the Hero Worship chapter.
I would really like to have her back.
Kirsty Roth says
love Criminal Minds have been watching it since it started and watch re-runs. My favourite actor is Thomas Gibson and the programme would not be the same without him. I am praying it is renewed for season 11 as it is one of the best programmes on tv.
Carla says
PLEASSEEEEEEEEEE WE NNEEEEDDDD CRIMINAL MINDSSS. Theyre my inspirationnnnn.
dont cancell the show </3
OMG!!! says
Omg! Do not cancel! I love this show and im only 13. I started watching last week and im already on episode 12 season 5. Please keep it going this has became my life since all my friends left me. I LOVE thus show. It has encouraged me to head into law enforcement.
blahhh nlahh says
If Morgan and Garcia done marry each other I might just die I shil Gorgan hard
Mrs Janet dinan says
Don’t get rid of criminal minds just get rid of Hewitt hopeless
Cheyenne says
I’m four episodes shy of finishing Season 10. And I am extremely disappointed. The writing is horrible and the shows are so boring and predictable. I own Seasons 1 through 8, but I really doubt I’ll purchase anymore. The show is going downhill fast. And Hewitt was a poor replacement. I’m glad to read that she’s leaving. Now if you could get rid of Garcia! What an absolutely annoying character. A little too over the top. In reality she would not be able to do 90% of the things she does. And the lame relationship with Morgan is inappropriate in most workplaces. They would have both been fired by now. The whole scenario is boring now. Get some new ideas……please. This used to be a totally awesome show. At this point, I would not be sad to see it go. I actually see it destroying itself. Too bad…… It had a great run.
Mary-anne wood says
Does anyone know when Series 11 continues and which channel and time please as it stopped just before Christmas thank you
RenewCancelTV says
