They got rid of AJ Cook for financial reasons? Then why did they hire a look-alike when they could have kept the real thing? If Paget Brewster leaves because she wants to, I wish her well and hope she will come back if she wants to, but I still don't understand AJ Cook being let go.

I am really upset that the show's producers and CBS have so completely ignored the fans of this show.
It appears, from what I read on a site for Paget Brewster, that might be on another show. I hope that isn't true. Crimal Minds is a terrific show. It is because of all the actors that are currently playing very interesting characters.

What makes the show a hit is the chemistry between all the characters....unless she wants to leave for some personal reasons, it would be disappointing ever hear the adaage..."don't fix it if it aint broke"

The producers said they are getting rid of jj and emily for creative reasons. Seriously??? We had enough creative last season with hotch and his family. Let the show go back to its normal roots. The viewers arent complaining, the rating arent down. JUST LEAVE THE SHOW THE WAY IT IS. WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS!

They need to keep jj and emily. Dont make CM an all boys club again! I love jj, she is like the normal one lol. She has a family and i like that she is not a profiler, it gives us viewer another insight into the case. I also like her friendship with garcia and reid its really cute also with the other team members they all go to talk to her cause to me she is the heart of the time. As for prentiss, she is the strong female character, we need that especially since the team is full with men. I like how she can sense something is wrong like when she knew that hotch was missing and how she was the 1st one to confront reid when he was on drugs.emily is my favorite because she is so mysterious. Anyway just keep both of these wonderful characters. Dont break up the family!

I think that Prentiss will kill Doyle and then get put on some sort of leave of absence. Either injury or stress or FBI review/investigation into her actions and past. That way it is easier for the writers to write out Prentiss if Paget does not return and it is easier to reinsert her into the team if Paget signs back on next season.
I will be disappointed if us CM fans loose another great actor. The show just won't be the same without a strong female character in the field with the boys. Not just a tech analyst.
Criminal Minds shouldn't get rid of all the team members. Emily is my favourite, so if she left I wouldn't watch it anymore. They are a family, why are they destroying it?:( I did love the episodes with Prentiss story's, but please don't kill her! Also I don't really like Seaver, but that's because she comes into the family for JJ (and she has no chemistry with the team).

I recently started watching Criminal Minds and finally found a show I really love. I have recorded and watched almost every episode more than once. I have to agree that Seaver does not fit in at all, no chemistry. I hate to see Emily leave, she is a great asset to the show, a strong woman presence and fits into the "family" Love Spencer and Morgan but then who doesn't! Enjoy the shows with JJ also. I do like Rossi but not as much as Gideon. Rossi comes off as being to credit for everything. Keep the origianl cast, get them back on. If any of the male actors were to leave then I'm probably done watching. Totally love Garcia!!

I agree that if you take away Prentiss it will be like breaking up the family. I just got comfortable with her. The new girl is not the same. I believe you need to bring JJ back and I enjoyed the episodes with her husband. I believe that you should do more with Spencer's character. I, also, liked his hair long. It fit him. What happened to Penelope's romance. I love CM and watch it on all channels. I was very disappointed when there was a re-run on this week.

first of all the new blonde looks too much like jj which is ridiculous. secondly - wish they would focus more on CM and ditch the new terrible spin off. Losing my patience with the show, would rather them end it before they kill it.

CM is my favorite show. I have seen every re-run several times. Please don't break up the family. I hated it when JJ left,now Prentiss. This is the best show ever. Don't mess with a good thing!

I will keep watching as long a Shemar Moore is on the show. But I hate they they are breaking up the "family" The need to bring JJ back for good and keep Emily. The new girl just needs to go. I mean it's one thing if the actor wants to leave like Mandy did but why do they feel the need to mess with a good thing?

I love CM. I was heartbroken when Gideon left, and then Elle, then JJ, now Prentiss. It will be yet another change I just hope u bring in another strong female character. The new girl feels like she isn't really part of the show, but maybe her character can be fleshed out more,but she is not a strong enough female character for me. I love prentiss, she is tough and smart...more of that please. I love that Penelope is on both CM and CM:SB. That show looks like it will be another great! The heart of the team IS Hotch, Reed, Morgan, and Penelope. Prentiss and Rossi the newer characters melded seamlessly in. JJ of course we loved but they haven't been able to replace her on the team or in the show. Please don't tinker with the heart of the team or it will code and there will be no way to bring it back!

Love this show but don't think I will without Prentiss. You already took away JJ. And get rid of that blond chick, she just seems useless. Where did she even come from? Leave the show alone, you already have a WINNER.

I used to make time for Criminal Minds regardless of what was going on in my day. Now I find myself no really caring if I catch the episode on a re-run. When JJ left the chemistry wasn't there and the episodes were written differently so it just comes off as another show. Having Prentiss leave too, just destroys the group. I agree that the new girl just doesn't fit, and my first reaction was "don't insult the viewer by getting a replacement that almost looks like JJ." The quality of the writing of the show is not the same.

CM is my favorite show of all time. I was so upset when JJ left. And now Prentiss.What are they thinking? And as for Seaver, she just does not fit in. And who is she anyway? where did she come from? I am a fanatic watcher.I watch the other channels, and record every thing I can. Thomas Gibson is my favorite.(Aaron Hotchner)He is so hot,And a great actor.If they decide not to renew his contract,and let him go, then they have definitly lost me for good. Thomas Gibson, in my opinion, makes the show. If he leaves then the show has really lost it's viewers.

I think without JJ and Prentiss this show will lose its appeal. I watch episode after episode on all the other channels any chance I get, I have gotten used to Rossi but Seaver just has no chemistry with the team at all. I hope the powers that be pay attention to the fans if not reruns is all I will be watching!!

I just don't understand why a show that is as popular as Criminal minds would want to get rid of two of the most interesting characters. I am a huge fan of the show and I was very upset when A.J Cook was let go and now Paget?. You are ruining a great show. I don't care about the new Criminal Minds show. It pales in comparison. You should listen to the people who watch the show because without them you have nothing. I really hope you listen to us and make the changes that you need to to bring back those characters or you will just have another hohum show that is destined to become another " used to be great show" Listen to the fans, thier fans and your fans.

The new formats mak es the show less interesting. I loved how the older episode would not revealed the unsub until the end. Now that we know who they are from the start, it makes the show less exciting. I agree that the loss of the characters JJ and Emily will be significant. I just don't get it. Why not stick with something that works? At this rate, I may be looking for another show to watch. So glad to hear I'm not the only one ANNOYED with Seaver. She truly brings the show way down. It especially bugs me when she states the obvious.
