‘Minds’ cast not thrilled with franchise 

I completely agree with everything said here.

Seriously. Successful franchises such as Law & Order and CSI didn't cannibalize their original shows to produce their spin-offs. cbs messed up big-time with criminal minds by butchering the original - a lot of people have said they will stop watching the original and won't watch the spin-off. cbs morons. I liked CM it was special, and I would have watched the spinoff but I'm so pissed about AJ/Paget that I won't watch it(in fact I'm basically boycotting all cbs, that's how upset I am about it all.) The show is ruined for me. JJ was special and I love Paget but what can ya do. :(

i will continue watching CM but not the spin-off I'm supporting aj and paget and the main execs at CBS messed up big time by messing with the original. I hope they learn their lesson and stop trying to destroy a great show... :(

i hope the spin off fails...the totally ruined the show just cos they wanted to make a spinoff which wasn't necessary.why do they think that all shows that are ~5-7 season need a spinoff. They don't.How come they could do a spinof to NCIS without canniblizing the original show..stupid cbs..hate them

I'm not watching the spinoff.. and I'm only watching the original...
