This is how I feel :). I like a lot of the cases on the show, but I'm here for the characters and as long as I can enjoy them and their stories, and see how they're affected by the cases they work with (or help those on cases they dealt with, victim or unsub), then I'm good to go.

Plus, I've only just become a fan of the show a little over two years ago (I'd seen a couple episodes here and there prior to that, and liked what I had seen, but for some reason it took some time before I started checking out the series as a whole). So I figure that given the point I came in at, it just makes sense to stick with it to the very end :p. And I just like being there to see how a show wraps things up when the time does come for it to end. I don't know how much longer "Criminal Minds" plans on running (probably not too many more years, I'm guessing), but I'm really interested to see how they will end things when the time does come.

I think sometimes it's nice to come into a show later on. I started CM after Gideon and Elle had gone so I wasn't attached to them, which was nice. Criminal Minds is definitely a show where you can jump in pretty much at any time.

It's interesting to think how much longer it has. Lots of fans have been complaining about the last few seasons but they're still watching and the numbers it's getting are very good. It has the added wrinkle, though, of being produced by ABC and not CBS, so CBS kind of wants to get rid of it for that reason. But it's too popular to get rid of so I don't think they would. I think it's not unreasonable to think it might do an NCIS-type run. I can hope at least.

I just hope that whatever happens, it's not like CSI NY and CSI Miami, where they were on the bubble for several years and never knew when their last season was so their season-finales were made to be series-finales but also give room for another season. The later seasons were hampered by not knowing if they could go for bigger storylines or if they should start wrapping up loose ends.

I agree. In my case it helped when it came to characters like Seaver, who a lot of fans didn't like when she was actually on the show. I can look at it with some distance and a few years removed from that season, and look at her time on the show a little more objectively as a result, and see that the show still managed to work just fine with her there (though I like to think if I had been watching the show in season 6 when it originally aired I still would've given her a chance and liked her anyway. It wasn't her fault Paget and AJ got let go, after all).

And since I came in after Emily left the show for good, it made it easier for me to accept Blake, 'cause I hadn't spent so many years with Emily and had to deal with losing her as a result. I love Emily, mind, and I think she really did click wonderfully with the others and am sad she is gone. But I understand Paget's reasons for leaving, too, and she's still very close with the cast and did visit again for the 200th episode, so I think that helps make her departure easier to accept, too, knowing that, unlike the first time around, she left on better terms and of her own choice.

I think every show gets people griping about it the longer it goes on :p. All long-running shows will struggle after a while with storylines and the characters and so on. But I also think that despite all the griping, fans will be sad to see the show go when its time does come to end, too, just 'cause there's enough good stuff and characters there that they'll miss seeing each week. I'm not surprised that CBS would find it something of a burden, they sure seem to like to meddle in how it's run a lot of the time. But you're also right that its popularity keeps it afloat-the cast and characters are likeable, and that's its big selling point and why it has its strong fanbase. I hope it lasts a little while longer, too. I think ultimately however long the cast wants to keep going will help determine how long they want the show to run.

And YES to allowing the show to be able to wrap things up properly. I don't want that problem, either. I want to have all the characters in a good place when the show ends, and kind of know where they are and where they'd likely go next.
