Reading these comments does my head in.
If you think this show sucks now because of who is or not on it, may I suggest you hang up your critic shop. Consider the following….

This show has lost it’s edge completely.
What “group” of people in history talk in perfect harmony one after another? none that is who!
So tired of this crap formula where one person speaks then another and so on til everyone on the cast has had a comment.

This is crap tv, and is a lot closer to why this show sucks. It is now “TV” and no longer a edgy show about killers that makes you forget you were watching tv and it happened long before anyone got fired.

All the characters are bland and one note and to hear people say how much they love the characters just hurts my brain and I wish the US audience had any real understanding of TV or music. ( Yes I am “American”)
the USA just piles on crap, and when they find a good thing they ruin it a fast as possible.

If you do find a good show love it now because next season it will likely suck. Like say big bang theory or commmunity or it will get canceled like Firefly.
Chances are it will follow what Eureka follows and make it about who is doing what to who in bed instead of making thought provoking fiction.

If this show or much of any show was about making great TV you could justify firing everyone involved. It stopped being anything but the kind of formulaic TV we have seen for many decades.

Ok so what about Reid saying that he didn’t request reinstatement into the unit in episode 1 of season 7? If they take Reid out I totally won’t watch the show anymore!

Eliminating the 2 girls was crazy & harmful to the show. I stopped watching. Management needs to look at NCIS. 9 SEASONS all characters are still there unless they died in the line of duty. (HELLO ANYBODY HOME-WAKE UP MANAGEMENT)

Prentiss is back as well. So the whole band is together again. The spin-off was a mistake that should have never happened and may have been responsible for the troubles last season. But the spin-off is dead. AJ and agent are back and Criminal Minds is truly back.

Now if CBS can get rid of “The Talk.”

I LOVE THE CAST ASD THEY ARE INCLUDING; JJ, EMILY, HODGE, ROSSI, MORGAN AND REID. DON’T FIX WHAT ISN’T BROKEN. PLEEEEEASE!!!!
NOT ONLY DOES THE TEAM FUNCTIONAS A “FAMILY” THEY ARE FOIL FOR EACH OTHER AND THE INTERACTING AND INTERTWINNING CHEMISTRY IS JUST TOO GOOD. MAKES ME THINK OF THE OLD DAYS OF LENNY AND MIKE OF LAW AND ORDER FAME BUT A LARGER MORE HUMAN SCALE.
I HAVE WORKED IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE WRITING IS SO RIGHT ON RE: PROFILING. KEEP GOING WITH THE TOTAL STELLAR CAST!!!!

Don’t worry the bosses realised their mistake and JJ is back for season 7 & 8. I’m sad that Prentiss is gone but oh well – let’s hope Criminal Minds picks back up in quality for the new season

I have been a fan of CM from the start and JJ was one of my favorite characters. I’m very disappointed with this decision. Now with Prentiss gone I’m really peaved. What a bunch of moron’s to do that to a team of actors who have the chemistry and have bonded the hearts of the viewers to them. I don’t even watch the new spin off…not interested at all.

I hope this gets to the right people. I have been a fan of Criminal minds for years. I love the BAU family Tom;SHermar;Garcia; JJ Cook; Prentiss; Even JOe Mantenga; Reid; Mandy And I watch repeats every night on ION tv. So Do NOT MESS with perfection!!! If You change the actors I will discontinue watching the series as will a lot of other people. Aren’t you worried about losing viewers??? Some episodes may be gorie but it’s the family group that cares for each other not just the stories. When CBS put on Criminal minds behavior series I watched two and prometly stopped when I realized you were not using the same people. I hope this helps you understand how much people are interested in values among people as much as a story. There are all kinds od dramas on tv stories about crimes aganist all genders of people but the actors make the show. Thank you for listening.

JJ CAME BACK!!!! So for all of you who stopped watching the show because she left for a little while, you missed the greatest season finale… Hopefully you will see the light and continue to watch now.. You cant just stop watching a show half way through the season because she left, because you never know what is going to happen and who they will or wont bring back if you do not watch.

When Jason left the TV bosses made a horrible decision on who to take his place. Now JJ is gone and as far as I am concerned – why watch – they were a great group all working together – I have put up with Jason’s replacement but this is too much. Was she too pretty – was it petty reasons for firing her? It certainly wasn’t because of her acting because she was part of what made the show believeable.

IT’S LIKE A POLE TAKEN OUT OF A TENT, ONE PART SAGS. THE “REPLACEMENT” IS ABSOLUTELY A COLD COOKIE, NO PERSONALITY COMING THROUGH AT ALL. BRING JJ BACK. FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE ADMIT YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

The whole change sucks! Bring jj back and get Of the jj want to be. Cold awkward actress, the show is not about awkward it’s about flow, and your changes suck! What the heck. Some people made a very Dum Dum decision!

Theoretically you would eliminate a character because you thought they lacked something and weren’t contributing to the storyline and a change was needed. So why on earth would JJ, a pretty, fan-popular, blonde agent whose character fits well with the rest of the cast and has a specific skill the others lack be replaced with a pretty blonde whose character thus far has less skill, personality and rapport with the rest of the unit. It is impossible not to compare the two and the new cast member can’t help but be compared unfavorably with JJ, it’s not her fault but that of the genius who made this decision. At the very least they should have selected someone with distinctively different appearance, and perhaps some special skill would have been a nice bonus just to give her a chance. This way it just seems they wanted to thin the veteran cast but still needed a blonde character to keep the visual look of the team. With the loss of Prentiss too I’d be mighty careful if I were one of the remaining cast members. Have they got a new boss on that show who needs to put his stamp on it and decided this was the way to show everyone he is now in charge, lots of enterprises have gone down the drain due to pointless power moves by someone with the rank but not the understanding to make sound decisions. Maybe one more season but I bet the bosses are already looking at the next new project and this one is on the way out whether they know it or not.

I never missed an episode of criminal minds I was a devoted fan but some of your decisions to eliminate JJ and Paget really suck don’t know your reasons but the show really has lost that must watch feeling now doesen’t matter if I watch it or not have lost interest the show was a real hit but now it’s just ho hum if you are as smart as you think you are bring them back and just maybe you will save the show because now it is starting to really suck they brought character and prestige made it a top notch show so give your head a shake wake up and make it right

I am so totally confused! Last week J.J. Was on the show! I never even knew she was fired? I know in real life she did have a baby and thought she was taking some home time! Without Paget Brewster – well the show is gradually ending! Too bad because I love the characters on this show!

Look getting rid of JJ was a huge mistake.How did they fix it by getting rid of Prentiss.No offense this new lady just doesn’t cut it.I believe the show is going down hill the since JJ has left.Now its only getting worse.CBS bosses that made these decisions should be fired.The show won’t recover from these mistakes.I will watch something else now.
