One of many crime procedurals on CBS, Criminal Minds has been around for a long time. It’s never garnered a lot of attention and the ratings have declined but it’s still a pretty consistent player for the network. Is that enough to keep it on the air? Will it be cancelled or renewed for an 11th year? Stay tuned.
Criminal Minds continues to follow the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) out of Quantico. This season’s cast is Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, A.J. Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness, Joe Mantegna, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/12 update: CBS has renewed Criminal Minds for an 11th season.
5/7 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The ninth season of Criminal Minds averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.88 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Criminal Minds TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for an 11th season?

Oh did I mention, Shemar Moore is ——- (feel free to fill in the blanks) and in case any of you ladies haven’t noticed, I think you should take a good look. And…in case anyone wants to point out that’s not enough of a reason to keep Criminal Minds on the air I’m sure there are many fans who would disagree. Nevertheless, I am a diehard fan of Criminal Minds and there’s no reason we can’t have some fun with some of the very special attributes of the show!

I believe criminal minds to be the most original,unique, unusual,interesting, crime show ever! I have tried watching many crime shows but they couldn’t keep my interest. I love the characters and the stories. I love the fact they are all humans with good and bad character istics. I love the fun between Garcia and Morgan. Oh, and Shemar Moore is so gorgeous it makes my eyes hurt, still I can always use eye drops. I cry when something bad happens to one of them. They are like a family. They have each others back even though they all have troubles… Read more »
