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.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Criminal Minds TV show has been renewed for a 14th season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Bring back Hotxh and ditch the witch. (And the writer I mean look at this seasons ratings….. ) This whole looming over the team crap is so annoying. Do all the writers get together and try ways to cancel shows? Leave it as it was. Each episode was its own show with side stories going on. But I am so sick of the “messing with the team” crap almost as much as the whole “there’s a mole” every show seems to have to write about. I feel there a bit of writers block going on if this is the only… Read more »
Please renew Criminal Minds. The show is one of the most intellectual shows on the air these days.vqJzA
Please don’t cancel. Best show on CBS!
I am getting so tired of the age range they use for ratings. 18-49. I am 72 and watch all of the same shows. I like Criminal Minds and have watched for years. Also I DVR many shows and may not watch for a week. They have got rid of many of my favorites. Person of Interest, The Blacklist, Last Man Standing, Scandal , etc etc etc. But they leave crap shows on .
Please don’t end this show I think it shows what can be done
This is my favorite show and I have been watching it from the very beginning.
For some reason the great shows get canceled and stupid shows come on. I will be highly upset if it gets canceled. I watch reruns during the week because there not coming out with any good shows. NCIS is another great show. CSI was removed which was a good show too.
Would be great if they brought Shemar back. This is to good of a show to remove. If y’all keep removing the shows that are actually great shows, why bother watching tv!!!
Please do not cancel NCIS. This show is my favorite. But get rid of that witch who is tearing BAU APART! I love this program. I love this show, do not miss with it or change it any more.
Why do the criminal mind team always have to be tested by people who r trying to make a name for themselves. Can the team just do their jobs without all the ********.I hope they have many more season to come. I love this show.
I am a fan of the show and would hate to see it end!
Please keep Criminal Minds on…It is one of the few shows I watch on main tv…the rest is on cable. I have watched this show since the beginning.
I think Criminal Minds is one of the best criminal shows on tv. Please renew it. It is doing fine without Thomas Gibson and it is time some of these actors quit acting like spoiled two year olds and learn there are consequences for their actions
Please, Please, Please keep Criminal Minds!!!! It is one of my favorites!!!!
Keep the episodes coming!!!!
I hope the show remains
…lost interest with the whole Reid in prison thing. Focus on the cases and the whole BAU team working together.
The hell with breaking up the team.
PLEASE do a season 14. Get rid of the lady trying to break up the team. Whoever wrote her in….get her out asap. The team needs to do what they have done best for the past 13 seasons. SOLVE crimes and stop criminals. The actors all have a great chemistry that people like to see.
Love the show. Would like to see it continue for more seasons to come.
