  • For some reason I avoided watching that show for years - then got totally hooked during one of their recent marathons. Fully plan on getting the DVDs!

    I watched Criminal Minds the first season when Mandy Patinkin was on it. Have only caught a few episodes off and on since then. Season Five does look interesting though.

  • Criminal Minds creeps me out!
