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?
We love Criminal Minds!!! PLEASE RENEW FOR SEASON 16!!!
Criminal minds is one of the best TV series please DO NOT cancel it:(((((
This is one of only a few shows that I watch anymore. Networks have canceled so many good shows too soon and kept stupid reality and adult cartoons on for way too long. I for one usually watch TV shows for entertainment purposes. I don’t see any entertainment in these “reality” shows where stupid people air their dirty laundry for the whole world to watch. Nor do I find it entertaining to watch people in “survival” situations that are definitely NOT reality. Do better!
Please don’t cancel Criminal Minds yet! It is one of the best shows ever made! Season 15 has started out strong & I look forward to the rest of the episodes. I LOVE THIS SHOW & EVERYONE IN IT!!!!!!
I hate that Criminal Minds is ending because it was a great show. The reason I feel that ratings slipped is because it was moved around. If it had moved and was on a day with something good it could survive. And maybe bring back that guy.
We need season 16 Criminal Minds
Yes criminal minds should continue for season 16th
