Criminal Minds -- DIS Official Thread 1 (SPOILERS!)

[Imzadi]

Here are the ratings for Criminal Minds and CM: SB last week. It was a series low for CM, as it was a repeat. [Hear that CBS? Stop showing us repeats! ] Last week it was at 3.4 with 13 million viewers. After American Idol was over, CM: SB did pick up a few people, but was lower than the previous week.

Fox of course won the night with adults 18-49 and total viewers as American Idol averaged an 8.0 rating in adults 18-49, up 3% from last week and up 6% in total viewers to 24.2 million.

With a repeat of Criminal Minds as its lead-in, an original episode of spin-off Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior dropped 15% to a series low 2.2 adults 18-49 rating.



American Idol Ratings:
Demo Age 18-49: 8.4
Viewers : 25.40 million

Criminal Minds from 9:00 to 10:00

CM: SB has dropped every week since it premiered. I wonder why

Have you are anyone else here watched Breakout Kings, on A&E? I finally got to see the first two episodes. It usually airs across from the Celebrity Apprentice, but airs other times & days, too.

Instead of FBI or police, their "team" is made up of convicts. Not ex-convicts, but still serving hard time, long prison sentence convicts.

Since they were in maximum security prisons, they probably learned and know more of the ways real convicts think and act, since they are around them all day. Plus, the thing that put them in prison make they uniquely qualified for the team. This is what makes them perfect profilers.

The only reason they are on the team to catch other fugitives is because for every fugitive they help catch, they get one month off their sentence and they get moved to a cushier, minimum security prison to finish out their time. If they screw up, they get sent back to the maximum security prison. And if they try to escape while out catching a fugitive, their original sentence is doubled.

So, they are NOT nice-nice, do-gooders. They are all rough around the edges, have massive flaws and have their own issues and demons to work through. This combo seems like it will give the writers more opportunities on what they can do with this group. It's not contrived writing like making one FBI agent have anger issues about wanting to kill child molesters.

Since they are cons, they don't necessarily stick to protocols & rules to get jobs done.

The first two shows actually show a lot of promise. I'm going to keep watching a few more times to see how it goes.

I think I like it better than CM: SB, but, maybe I just have too much stuff on SB right now.

I haven't seen Breakout Kings but it does look good!


Tonight's the night!

Excited that it's here, scared about the outcome, and sad that it's possibly Prentiss's last episode! And as happy as I am about JJ being back tonight, it's gonna be sad to say bye to her a second time! But last time wasn't permanent so hopefully this won't be permanent either

Not too many great pics this week. Either the whole gang is not filming, they might be on Spring Break or some kind of haitus, as no one tweeted anything regarding the show this week, or the Twitter assistant is off duty this week.


There was a funny couple of Tweets by Thomas Gibson a couple weeks back. He must have been on a break and started Tweeting people after 6pm, Wed, in CA. Only he got back this Tweet from the east coast:

Twitter fan: Dude..you are tweeting during Criminal Minds.
TG: Sorry! (zips it)

Twitter fan 2: hy aren't u watching cm?
TG: Making the doughnuts...(aka new episodes)

Thomas, we love you. But, don't mess with us while we are watching CM!


Here's the few pics I have for this week, courtesy of the same makeup artist, @annafleiner:


I guess they are getting Seaver acclimated to blood.
That just better not be Prentiss' blood.

Joe Mantegna took this one of Garcia while being filmed:

MGG is directing tonight's episode!

"Action!"

3 MINUTES!!!!!!

 

[Tink9721]

This is happening in Boston? That's an hour away from me!

 

[Tink9721]

YAAAAAAAAY! JJ!!!!

 

[BLTLDZ]

YAAAAAAAAY! JJ!!!!

I am on the edge of my seat already!!

Happy wednesday everybody!

 

[Imzadi]

Garcia!

 

[Tink9721]

Garcia!

I know! I already need the tissues 18 minutes in! I loved Reid's line too. Something like "Why did she run? We're her family."

 

[Imzadi]

MGG is doing a great job directing.
Nice fast pace.





I love when Hotch is strong like that.

The episode MGG directed last year was really good too.

 

[Imzadi]

Eww! Is that blood?

 

[Tink9721]

Eww! Is that blood?

I hate that the one night JJ is back, they decide to give Seaver a ton of screen time

 

[Imzadi]

They can recognise Emily's hand?

I hate that the one night JJ is back, they decide to give Seaver a ton of screen time

Yeah, not happy about that either.

 

[Imzadi]

Well, that was an emotional roller coaster.




Hotch knows. He's not supposed to know. But, he knows.

 

[Tink9721]

I tried to post an "AH HA!" post, but my internet went down when I hit submit. It's back now

Our theory was pretty close!

I knew something was up as soon as Hotch walked out of the room. It's sad that the rest of the team thinks she's dead

 

[Tink9721]

Suspect Behavior seems even worse after that amazing CM episode. And when Garcia just appeared on screen I was like "HEY! You're supposed to be in mourning!"

 

[Imzadi]

I have the TV on mute. I'm not really watching. I meant to. . . I tried to. . . Now, I don't know what's going on. . .
