What do you think? Should the Criminal Minds TV show have been renewed for a 16th season? Are you sorry this TV series is ending?
YES I ABSOLUTELY do want more seasons of criminal minds. I definately want more seasons of it! It’s a shame if it ends. Millions of us fans love the show+!.
I like the show and would watch again, but I’m tired of networks wanting to charge extra for their programming. We already pay for a service and if it’s not on one of the major networks or part of our package we won’t be paying more to get it. This charging extra for everything has gone too far.
