terrific.it is one of the best shows on TV.The ratings are down this year[due to the absence of Thomas Gibson and Shemar Moore] but averaging 7.5 million viewers[not counting DVR apps] is really good after 12 seasons.The new cast is wonderful with my favorite Paget Brewster as Unit Chief.Bravo CBS and ABC.
Eric says
I agree. But you forgot Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness and most of all A.J. Cook.
Roseli Silva says
The series ceased to be interesting after the departure of Thomas Gibson as Aaron Hotchner, 12 season crawled without excitement.
Episodes with no stories, no protagonist, appealing and cast without chemistry.
The big broadcasters offer sardines instead of Caviar to the Viewer.
The major television networks didn’t notice that in recent years, the viewer was more demanding.
The format does not need to be reinvented. Just stop being predictable, boring or overly unlikely.
And, above all, show efficiency in claim to entertain, rather than irritate or cause our indifference.
Colleen says
I agree – they made a big mistake firing Thomas Gibson. I am surprised if was renewed without him. If they want better ratings and a better show, they should bring him back. I had watched every episode of the series until Hotch left. I have watched a couple episodes without him and the chemistry is not the same and the episodes are not nearly as good.
Wanda says
Bring Thomas Gibson back. The show is not the same and blah without him.
Seitman says
Well, I stoped watching it after Gibson “fired”.
No Gibson, no Moore, this is a bad travestite of Criminal Minds. They better end it while the show is still high. I forsee a big dive in ratings
Pamela says
Thomas Gibson was fired because he became violent on stage and attacked Shemar Moore. Shemar has his own television show this fall. Can’t wait to watch it. Can’t wait for Criminal Minds to come back on too.
