Also, the BAU makes a shocking discovery about Lynch that affects Rossi personally, and the entire BAU team comes together to celebrate Rossi’s retirement, on the series finale of CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Feb. 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Very sad that good shows leave or are cancelled while other shows continue. Love ctiminal minds love the characters and their stories. Will have nothing to look forward to on my criminal minds night. Hoping they will come back with a reunion show at some point.

I love this show. I have never missed an episode of Criminal Minds.
I wish Criminal Minds would stay on for a few more years. I love this show. So sad…

Yes!!!!!!? I love the show and characters!!
Yes I’m very sad. Love this program. Have been watching it for years. Hope it will make a come back at some point!!
I’m going to miss my Criminal Minds family
I am so depressed.
Yes I’m very sad to see it end. I just don’t understand why they are ending it. It is also a part of my life. I will feel like something I s missing in my life and then realize what it is criminal minds.
I’ve watched Criminal Minds since it’s inception! It feels like part of my life is over! Very sad about cancellation. A terrific show with terrific actors & actresses!
The good thing is that it isn’t cancelled on a cliffhanger but was announced to be ending and will have a proper finale
I hate that’s it’s ending. So much garbage on now,& I really like all these characters.
I feel like I am losing family members! Loved this show from the start!
Criminal minds is my favorite TV show. With some binging efforts on my part, I have seen every episode, in sequence, since S1 E1. I even saw the original series, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior (with Forrest Whittaker as the Team leader)! Lol I am so invested in every character it truly will be tough when it all really does end. However, after 15 seasons, what a great run!
Yes I definitely hate to see it end. I’m so invested in these characters.
