Criminal Minds: One year ago today I started this Criminal Minds blog. The blog has so many people who contribute in hundreds of ways. Thank you to everyone for their participation. On October 2nd the season two Criminal Minds DVDs will be released and I am very proud that our blog and website are included in the featurettes.
To celebrate this blog-versary Ed Bernero sent us a script last month for Criminal Minds "Legacy". The script has a number already printed on the cover and the person who leaves a comment on this post that matches that number wins the script. Tomorrow everyone will also have the opportunity of winning a "Revelations" script. Thank you to Ed for his generousity and appreciation for the fans of Criminal Minds.
I remember when you sent me the email telling me you had started the blog. It seems like yesterday. The blog has become a place for me to hang out with my new CM friends and talk about the show. I love it. Thank you to all the people who work on it with you. Thank you to Slash for the great screencaps she makes for all of us. I really enjoy them. Wed is almost here!
ReplyDeleteI check this blog everyday. I love it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I watched my first episode I fell in love with the show and googled it for info. That is how I found the blog. You have all been so nice to this newbie by answering all of my questions and being so kind. Thanks for everything everyone. Congrats to the blog.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jill. I love checking the blog several times a day. I feel as though watching the show and then coming to the blog are just a natural fit. I love all my CM friends.
ReplyDeleteI love the show and I love the blog. I think it is great that the blog's birthday is the day before the new season starts. It is really fitting. Well done Jill & everyone!
ReplyDeleteKisses and hugs Jill. I know it hasn't always been easy but for all of us it has been great. Thank you for all of your hard work and the care and friendship you show to all of us. Happy Birthday Blog.
ReplyDeleteHas it really been a year already? Wow that went really fast. I think all of you are wonderful. You have created a wonderful place for us to hang out and have fun. I love reading the episode spoiler comments the best but I also just like seeing what new thing or question you have posted everyday.
ReplyDeletexoxoxox buddy. you did a great job all year.
ReplyDeleteThis was very nice of Mr. Bernero to do for us. Two scripts available. I am drooling. Also I wish to you my congrats. Best of wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe blog is great but I think the second year should focus around the Gube. Can we have a Gube year please? lol
ReplyDeleteThe CMF blog is a wonderful celebration all the time for a great show. Thank you for sharing your passion for the show with us.
ReplyDeleteMy congrats to the best blog owner on the web. The only thing more sweet than Matthew's face is you.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations from one Criminal Minds fanatic to another. This month we start season three of the show and season two of the blog. We are going to have a great year. Go team CM.
ReplyDeleteI think that when you celebrate a one year anniversary it is customary to give paper so the script is a great party favor. Congrats Jill and well done! Congrats to everyone who has a hand in the blog. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes. Lovely to do something for us by giving away a script. We should be doing something for you for running this blog for our benefit.
ReplyDeleteToday the blog's birthday and tomorrow the new show. Life is very good.

One day I stepped into this well grown blog, so I had the impression it has been there always.
ReplyDeleteOnly one year?
Wow Jill, congrats to this wonderful place you created.
It is an everyday must-see and I love it.
CU sindee

ReplyDeleteAnd the people who use the messageboard are so funny and intelligent, it really makes my day whenever I visit and lurk, hehe.
I'm so excited for season three to start! It feels like we've been waiting FOREVER.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into the blog Jill. I may not get a chance to comment often but I do come here and read it at least once a day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great contests, and of course, the pics. I love seeing info about these actors on and off the set.
ReplyDeletei really love the show and first I just googled for an german blog but I never find so I googled for an english one, although my english isn´t so good ! and I´ve find this one and I really love it, because of the good pictures and the good news !! so i hope the blog will exist for a really long time !!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been a fan of the show since it began but never sought out an on-line fandom until last year. Finding so many fans here and on the website has made my experience with the show so much better.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to whoever wins the script !!
Happy one year! Thanks for doing the blog for us. I don't comment much either but I do check it every day and appreciate all that you do to keep it up.

ReplyDeleteI remember day one as well and the funny email that started all of this fun.
Most people will never really understand what a labor of love this is for you Jill but we do.
I wish for a wonderfully successful new season for both the show and the blog.
Kisses!
The blog is a my safe CM place to visit. I appreciate that you never cross the line. Thanks for giving us a positive place to talk and enjoy the show.
ReplyDeleteJill & Slashgirl,
ReplyDeleteFor so many of us just being able to come to the blog to read and see the caps from episodes we will not see for months is such a treat. Thank you both for this. I love to read the comments about the episodes. It heightens my anticipation.
Marco
I am siked (syked?) about the start of the new season. Makes it even better as I watch it on a different chanel, most of the time, and they have it on earlier then CBS! I will be watching it at 7pm (AST) tomorrow night! I CAN'T WAIT!
ReplyDeleteI found this blog probably around March of this year. (Or April) I was looking for Season Finale spoliers of my favorite shows and came across this. Course, there were no spoilers on here, but it was still great!
I started watching the show itself during the first season. I was looking for something to watch and came across it. I took one look at MGG and was hooked! :)
Thank you for welcoming strangers into the fold who ask a thousand questions. Thank you for answering all my annoying emails. Thank you for introducing me to Marina who caught me up on everything I had missed by not watching most of season one.
ReplyDeleteCongrats and Happy B-D Blog!
I found the blog around Christmas time and it is bookmarked in my favorites. What is a morning without the blog? Boring. Happy 1st Birthday to the blog.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the best Criminal Minds blog on the internet. I love my Criminal Minds friends.
ReplyDeleteDoubt is tomorrow. Yippee!!!!!!!
Thanks Ed for sending Jill the scripts. Win or lose I love the blog and I love the show and I am pumped, primed and ready for tomorrow's episode.

ReplyDeleteLee
I love Criminal Minds and am glad I finally found this blog! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love this show its my Wed Horror/ suspence fix. The Chracters in the show just click so well together and I have followed the Careers of both Thomas Gibson and Mandy Patikin since they were in Chicago Hope and although Mr. Patikin has left the show I wish him the best in whatever he persues. adn Ilook foward to another exciting Season of Criminal Minds.
ReplyDeleteWay to stay the course Jill. Congrats to everyone who works on the blog and thank you to Ed Bernero for honoring us time and time again. We are going to support you in season 3 and celebrate the blog when it finishes year two.
ReplyDeleteMy sister was really upset last week when the CM episode was a rerun! Her favorite show that plays before CM had started up again, but CM hadn't! This week's new episode is a birthday present to me -- the next day is my birthday!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on this great milestone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having a place that allows and actually encourages input from others. It is easy to have an opinion. It's a bit harder to allow others to have one.
Thanks Jill and Stacy!
I am so excited about tomorrow's episode. The new season of CM is going to be so great.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for all of you on the anniv. of the blog. It is a great project you have all done.
