I received this email response to my post on the blog thanking Mr. Bernero (Executive Producer of Criminal Minds) for allowing me to visit the set last week.
Hey Jill --
No need to thank me. You're a special person and we were all honored you took the time to visit. In fact, it is incredibly touching (more than any of you will ever know) that you, along with all your members, take the time to talk about our show at all. Making a show is an incredibly difficult task, but it is made easier knowing that fans like you all exist.
All the best --
Ed Bernero
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww.
ReplyDeleteTotal heart fluttery moment here, to realize how much they do care and appreciate the fans, as much as we truly appreciate everything they do for us with CM.
Truly a kind note to send you, and for you to share with us.
'wipes away tear from eyes'
ReplyDeleteHe seems so nice! (remember when he yelled at MGG on the documentaries? sooo funny 'the girls don't like you! at least I think that was him)
WOW, that is so... I don't know *away to find appropriate words*
ReplyDeleteCU sindee
P.S.: He is so right, you ARE a special person and I'm so glad I found this blog and the group to share my thoughts on CM.
You have always written so highly of him and then you got to meet him. I am so glad that he did not disappoint you. The note is very sweet and that he included us all makes me want to cry.
ReplyDeleteIt's our honor to be presented with this amazing show. The whole cast and crew deserve all the squeeing and fangirling we can give them :)
ReplyDeleteIf you talk to Mr. Bernero again, please thank him for us.
That man is too amazing for words.
ReplyDeleteI love him so much for making such a great show. But he is right, you are an awesome and amazing person and I am so greatful for your dedication to the show, that if you weren't around I'd never know what was going on!
*hugs and kisses*
I'm with Sindee, I can't find the words! Mr. Bernero is definitely a lot nicer than in those hilarious documentaries. We appreciate all the hard work he and the rest of the cast and crew and CBS do and its great to know that they appreciate us back as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely response - it's important that they realise how much we appreciate all their hard work in making Criminal Minds and it's nice to know that they appreciate all of our support too.
ReplyDeleteI agree so much with Allie. I am so happy these people lived up and exceeded your high expectations. I am so impressed that he took the time to acknowledge you and us. Everyday when I come to this blog I find more reasons to love this show. I realize I have only been watching the show since the Super Bowl episode but I have taken the time to read your whole blog. I feel like I am now part of a Criminal Minds family. Thank you very much for that. Now I have my whole family watching the show.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just ... wow. He's really an amzing person.
ReplyDeleteThis is the stuff dreams are made of! Jill that is AMAZING! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteLee :)
Class act! *g*
ReplyDeleteYa know, I'm a little worried that all these people are so darn NICE! Will there be a future ep of a crime show being invaded by pod people who are all super nice? (doo doo doo doo....)
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. They seem like a great group, and it seems that EB sets that example from his place at the top.
How nice of Mr. Bernero to respond! It makes love everyone involved with the show even more knowing they truly appreciate the fans!
ReplyDeleteI am sure everyone agrees that the work involved with the show is evident in the final product.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pleasure to watch and support people who work at their craft, instead of just "being celebrities".
Mr Bernero and Mr. Gordon selected their team very well. Thanks.
EXCUSE ME WHERE IS SHEMAR MOORE?!
ReplyDeleteLOL ANYWHO glad to know you went wish I could go too but I'll keep praying for that special day

lovely email, he sounds like a great guy.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth
Wonderful that he bothered to do this. Simply grand.
ReplyDeleteHow cool. great email
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. I'm gonna amke him cookies. You think I vould send cookies from sweden to america? Probably not haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely e-mail. Jill, he is right, you are very special!
ReplyDeleteJill, I haven't commented on this blog before and have only been a die-hard CM fan for about a month and a half (though it seems longer), but this seems like the perfect opportunity to thank you for the work you put into this blog! Even though it's clearly a labor of love it's still labor, and as someone who's been a fan of many different shows with impressive fandoms of their own I can clearly see the work that goes into it.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for Mr. Bernero, it's wonderful to be thanked for being a fan but we're all here because of their hard work. Discussing and criticizing a project is easy, creating one from the ground up is a hell of a lot more work!
He is a class act and his show is a class act.
ReplyDeleteDamn nice of him.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a nice classy guy to do something like that. A shout out to Mr. Bernero for being so great. It's so awesome how they care that much about the fans.
ReplyDeleteEd Bernero is truly a class act. It's so nice to be a fan of a show where we KNOW TPTB and the cast DO care about their fans and truly appreciate them. And I haven't experienced that since my very first fandom (The Sentinel), 10 years ago. (*yikes* It's been that long?)It's a really nice feeling.
ReplyDeleteI'm more active in CM fandom than I have been in any fandom since TS; and it's really good to know that my faith in this show (and all the people who work so hard to create the magic for us in every episode) is not misplaced. And I cannot thank them enough for that.
Thank you, Jill for posting this, it means a lot to this fangirl. :D
I'ts amazing! Of course we DO care for them, but it's crazy to think THEY care for us! There is a logic, though, after all they arrived where they are because there are many or US who are watching them!!!!At the same time if they won't be so incredibly good we wouldn't care and we wouldn't watch, so....they wouldn't have arrived where they are....
ReplyDeletePaola a bit confused
Jill's revealing her trip diary in chronological order. She'll get to all the stars eventually.
ReplyDeleteWow! How cool was that?! That was so nice of him to take the time to respond to you, and what nice comments.
ReplyDeleteYes, we definitely want them to know how much we LOVE the show, the characters, the stories, and of course all of the actors.
WOW. Well, we know why the show is so good, only people who truly care about what they do and who they're doing it for could make something this fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLoraLee
Way to be a stand up man Mr. Bernero. Thank you for the wonderful show and your appreciation of the fans. You are great!
ReplyDeleteI would like to nominate him for sainthood for sending you and us such a nice email.
ReplyDeleteI am speechless.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has ever seen a picture of him knows he is a big man but we just learned he also has a big heart. What a nice email to send to Jill.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Nice of him to do this.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this was very classy. Makes you feel good that he took the time.
ReplyDeleteThe Bible speaks of leading by example and it would seem Mr. Bernero is a man of virtue and value. I did not realize that people like this existed in Hollywood. Thank you for reminding me that prejudging people is also spoken about.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful. I will never forget this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely response - I have total love for the whole crew right now.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with how they treated our lady of CM!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet! He knows, along with all the other cast and crew members, that we all care about the show.
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome. we're appreciated! and by the very people we appreciate so much.
