Telly’s Take
Although the ratings slipped some last season, CBS still renewed Criminal Minds for a 13th season. It premiered with lower numbers than last season and the ratings have dropped quite a bit lower. To be honest, I think this show’s fate will all come down to money and contracts. I suspect that there will be a 14th and final season. I’ll update this page with any updates.

I love Criminal Minds I would hate to see if cancelled.I watch every Wednesday and I watch every time it’s on.Please don’t cancel it
Diehard fan, please don’t cancel
Please keep Criminal Minds going!! Love the show. Every time I get into a show I really like, they seem to cancel, so please do NOT cancel another one of my favorites.
Love criminal minds. My kids and friends watch it every time it’s on. Would love to see Arron hotchner come back on. Would also love to see season 14. I do think the new girl is very snooty. She was better playing Shariff Jody Mills on supernatural. Please keep criminal minds going. Get new writers if you have to.. it’s one of my all time favorite shows.
Keep Criminal Minds!!!!
Enjoy Criminal Minds & have since it first aired. Would hate to see it cancelled. What I would like to see is David Rossi head it up. Love JJ but I prefer her in her other position. Asking you NOT to cancel it.
CBS is the only channel with shows worth watching. Please do not cancel any of the shows or I will be forced to give up TV. The only night there is not anything worth watching is Monday and Thursday at the present. Also why are the major networks running paid programing on Sundays when we have a day off to watch TV. Need something besides paid programming and sports on Sundays.
I would be very upset my husband and I can’t wait to see it every week.
We definitely want to see another season of Criminal Minds. It is one of our favorite shows.
If they take criminal minds off the air im sure i wont be the only fan tht will be very upset. love the show..
I know all the changes but I still love the cast (old and new) stories. Please keep this on air!!!
