Please bring criminal minds back i love the show
I’m really disappointed that they’re cancelling Criminal Minds. I believe that this is the type of show that never runs out of story’s to tell. With all of the horrible things that happen in real life, it’s hopefull to have heroes like those in the BAU trying to make the world safer. I hope they bring it back, I for 1 will be one of the many that would keep watching. Please renew this show, if Law and Order can keep going, so can Criminal Minds!!!!
We love the characters and plots of this show! Please reconsider another season! Hated the way it ended – “wheels up” didn’t really say goodbye for the team either! Hated to lose Penelope but all other characters still there!! Bring it back??
I hate that cbs cancels all the good shows. This show was fantastic and a great way to teach others awareness and whet to look out for in people. It really should be renewed. Please bring it back. I really thing a lot of people would agree.
I love Criminal Minds. I am sad that the show is over. I really think it should be renewed for many many more seasons. Bring back Criminal Minds!!!
I just finished the very last episode and criminal minds has been a part of my life from the moment it started! I am currently crying and have been for the last 20 minutes because I found this saying it is canceled….there will be no more! I am absolutely devastated! My heart is broken. This can not be the end. My children even love this show they will sit down and watch it with me and get so interested! Penelope is my 4 year olds favorite! I’m just in such shock!
We LOVE Criminal Minds!!! It’s the most INTERESTING, mind blowing, AWESOME show that’s on T.V. We looked forward to every Tuesday when we could watch it all day. It REALLY SUCKS, there are no more!!!
I love criminal minds!!!!!!❤️
