[Mr. Douglas]

Man, this story really makes me want to punch something!

I read this earlier today. I quit watching it some time ago. To morbid for me. I liked him in it. I also see they have a CSI Miami actor in it now. Never liked Sheemar ever since he stood up trying to get a standing 0 when at the time his gal pal Berry won that oscar.

[jjotto]

Heck, I thought that was Mandy Patinkin!

Bring back Celebrity Boxing.
Toss him in the ring with Jeremy Clarkson.

[EDINVA]

Kind of ironic, given the unflappable character he plays.

“I love ‘Criminal Minds’ and have put my heart and soul into it for the last 12 years.

I think I may see the problem.

All of them, working on a "serial killer training show" must have spiritual problems by now.

I know a guy who worked as an extra several times over the years on Criminal Minds. He said Gibson was a real nasty individual.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I read the book "Mind Hunters" that the series was based on before the series started. Pretty good book about the founding of the FBI's BAU. One tidbit was how the BAU advised the prosecutor to touch Wayne Williams (the Atlanta child serial killer) on the arm while cross-examining him in order to provoke him in front of the jury. It worked, and he was convicted. Up until that point it looked like he was going to walk. Another interesting tidbit was about Edmund Kemper, the only killer that the author had sympathy for. The guy's mother had treated him like a monster, and it made him one. One day he realized that it had to stop, so he killed his mother and turned himself in. He had real remorse and knew that he should never be a free man again.

The series went formulaic real fast, especially after Mandy Patinkin's Jason Gideon character left. The show should have ended long ago.

It’s time for the cast of “Dharma & Greg” to get back together.

[mware]

Damn. Bet they have him killed off by a serial killer.

[Preston Manning]

It’s not the first time it’s happened. He’s also got a DUI under his belt. I can’t think of any other line of work where you can get into physical altercations with co-workers and get slapped with a DUI and still have a job.

As for those who think he’s indispensable, two words: Mandy Patinkin. I hear the show did fine without it’s original leading man.

Stopped watching near the beginning when they had Satanist suspects but the whole team agreed (paraphrasing) "But no Satanists have ever been serial killers. They're usually just kids having fun."

I could not suspend that much disbelief.

[DannyTN]

What was in his mind? Was it criminal?

[Political Junkie Too]

If this is one of those "let's find an even more gruesome way to torment and kill someone" shows, then that explains why I never saw a single episode of it.

Criminal Minds is the second worst show on TV, second only to Flashpoint.

How it continues to be popular astounds me.

[Mears]

“Criminal Minds” changed dramatically a few years ago——and not for the better.

I haven’t watched it since then.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Have been a longtime fan of the show but really couldn’t stand it when they referred to every perp as an “Unsub” didnt know this guy has so many anger issues..I think recently they got rid of Morgan too..that’s when many fans dropped the show

[Doogle]

".....I'm only going to say this once....only ONCE....I do not have any anger issues...got it?

[pgkdan]

My wife and I watched the first half of the first year...stopped after that because the show was simply too dark. It was really, really depressing. I liked the cast and thought it was well done but it was just too much for me.
