Criminal Minds: I received a phone call today from Simon Mirren, Co-Executive Producer of Criminal Minds, who wanted me to let everyone know that he, and the rest of the cast and crew, love our Criminal Minds website and blog. He wanted everyone to know how much they all appreciate our devotion to the show and the care and support we have given to them and the show. He is a charming man with the sweetest accent you have ever heard. So "Best Wishes and Thank You" from Simon Mirren and to Simon Mirren: Feel free to call me anytime. You made my day. Thank you for that and everything you do to help produce the best tv show on the air.

ReplyDeleteLee :)
How lovely that he took the time out of his day to acknowledge the fans. Class act!
ReplyDeleteI would have fainted. You must be made of steel. I just would have fainted. I love the show and I am constantly amazed at the appreciation they have for us.
ReplyDeleteClassy show with classy people running it. Doesn't get much better than that. Now if he would take a moment and clarify the Reid drug issue I would be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I would have died. What a really kind thing for him to do for all of us. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. What a stand up thing to do. I do think I also would have fainted. lol
ReplyDeleteThat was really very nice of him. I love the show and the behind the camera people have been so good to us.
ReplyDeleteSuccess of a show is a team effort. CM definitely has a great team. We appreciate their efforts. We are glad that they appreciate us too.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a whole lot of fun doing what we do...
That was sweet of him to take the time to acknowledge your hard work and love for CM. Congrats and we all applaud you too!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis praise was for everyone. The website and blog are the hard work of everyone. He is a very sweet person and I appreciate him acknowledging us in this way. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Monica -- very cool. These people are seriously a class act.
ReplyDeleteAnd you totally deserve all the recognition you get, Jill! Congratulations.
Very nice. They all seem like such nice people. No wonder the show is so great.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! It was nice of him to let you and the rest of us know how much he and everyone involved in the show appreciate the fans' support!
ReplyDeleteWow Jill, that is great. What was your face like when he identified himself to you? Were you nervous a little? I would have been!
ReplyDeleteAww Jill, that's lovely. How sweet of him to call you, and how well-mannered.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many reasons to love the show and the fact that the people who are making it are such nice people is just another great reason.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to feel the love we give to the show coming back to us. I have been slightly annoyed lately but since you don't want it discussed on the blog I am keeping it to myself. This went a long way to making me feel much better. It was a stand up thing for him to do and I personally appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteVery classy. He sounds like a nice man. No surprise.
ReplyDeletevery cool
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to know that they appreciate us. We certainly appreciate them. Love the show. I think I have now converted everyone I know to watching it on a weekly basis. I am looking forward to FK2.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with everyone who has already posted. Class Act for calling you and I know you are modest but you deserve it. Nobody does more to promote positively promote the show than you do.
ReplyDeleteJust when I think I can't love these people any more than I already do they turn around and do something this nice. First Kirsten and then Gina and Scott and now Simon Mirren. Very nice. Very deserved and very classy. I hope you told him that we love the show!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lee. I love Simon Mirren. Too bad you couldn't keep him on the phone long enough to ask him a bunch of questions for us. Is that something we might be able to arrange in the future or is that pushing our luck????
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Awesome call!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool! Thank you Mr. Mirren.
ReplyDeleteI think his aunt if Helen Mirren. She was wonderful in the Queen. What a great call that must have been!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right correct Celia. What a talented family. I appreciate that he called you very much. As a fan I appreciate being appreciated too.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are we that this fine group of people were assembled to produce our show. No wonder it is so wonderful. We are very lucky fans.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Mirren!
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate your kind words. I bet Jill will always remember and cherish her time on the phone with you.
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! If all of us are this excited about it, I can't even imagine how Jill excited must have been when she got his call!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing for Mr. Mirren to do. I'm sure he is a very busy man and is sweet to acknowledge the fans.
ReplyDeleteBTW, long ago Quentin and I noted the similarity between Helen Mirren and the actress who played in Riding the lightening (Storm Mirren?) and the fact that Simon Mirren had the same last name.... We were shot down at the time. Nyah nyah.
Extra treats for Q. Extra CM for me!
Best wishes to him as well and a huge thank you for our wonderful CM!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome thing to have happen. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteSimon Mirren is wonderful. I was pleased when you posted the article link a few months back which said he had been resigned to a multi year deal. Great news for all of us.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful thing he did!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great call to receive. I would be too shocked to speak. How nice that they care so much about us to make such an effort.
ReplyDeleteIn the few interviews with him that I have read he seems like a genuinely nice person.
ReplyDeleteNow he is a part of our team CM. Love it.
ReplyDeleteIt is incredible that they are as loyal to us as we are to them.
ReplyDeleteI almost missed this. We have been away for a few days. Wow.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting. I love the show!
ReplyDeleteDid you almost have a heart attack??
ReplyDeleteThese people are freakin amazing. Really amazing. I never get tired of how much they appreciate us when it is really us that should be appreciating them.
ReplyDeleteI love the show and the people behind the camera. Thank you to Simon Mirren.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly exciting.
ReplyDeleteI realize that he is swamped busy due to the current situation but I hope he starts posting soon. I look forward to reading what he has to say.
ReplyDeleteI love Simon Mirren. This is really a nice thing for him to do!
ReplyDeleteHe sounds like a really stand up man. Wonderful to read that. Thanks.
