CRIMINAL MINDS WRITERS ARE BEING GIVEN THE FINGER BY THE MOUSE!

Criminal Minds writers Debra J Fisher & Erica Messer are our "gruesome twosome" and they deserve more respect for their exceptional writing for Criminal Minds then Disney is showing them. Please CALL CBS: 212-975-4545 and DISNEY: 818-560-1000 and tell them you want the Criminal Minds writers back in the writers room. Also, please remind Disney that over 200 loyal employees that have worked so hard to give them a top 10 show are out of work thanks to them and you find that disgusting. You might also want to tell them just how cranky you are going to be when we run out of new episodes.

CRIMINAL MINDS FANS UNITE WITH CSI FANS!

Criminal Minds: CSI, another big $$ show for CBS, has introduced a new pencil project. I think Criminal Minds fans should unite with CSI fans in implementing this new pencil project.
Pencils2Moguls Redux:
1. Find a pencil somewhere in your house. It does not have to be new.. Break the tip off. For our slogan to make sense, your pencil should not have a point, so don't sharpen it.
2. Copy the text below to a piece of paper.
3. Put the pencil and the paper in an envelope, address it to:

Les Moonves
CBS
51 W 52nd St, Suite 35
New York, NY 10019-6119

4. Put first class stamp on it. (41 cents)
5. Drop it in the mail, and you are done!

And just for the record, CSI fans consulted the post office and they said mailing a pencil should be fine, but do not sharpen it.


You, like these pencils, are missing the point.
Fans support the WGA.

Criminal Minds: Andrew Wilder, writer of Ashes & Dust, L.D.S.K., North Mammon, The Tribe and Lucky will be joining us in the Criminal Minds chat room on Sunday tba.

CRIMINAL MINDS HAS LOTS OF TALENT!

Criminal Minds is blessed with an abundance of "talent". I have received many emails asking me where the Criminal Minds "talent" is while the writers strike is happening. I know these emailers are refering to the actors and actresses of Criminal Minds since everyone knows where the writers are these days. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful cast. They are talented! In my opinion the major "talent" behind our show is and has always been our writers. Thomas Gibson and Paget Brewster, pictured above, are actors with impressive resumes and whose work I deeply admire. They are gifted but without the written word they would have to wing it. We all love Garcia and while we suspect that Kirsten and Garcia share a soul it is important to remember that the words she speaks are written by the writers. Writers are our first source of talent on Criminal Minds. Actors are the next. We also are absolutely blessed to have a crew of over 200 dedicated and creative behind the scenes professionals working on the show we love. Our show is full of talent! Every person who contributes in any way to the production of our show was hand picked because they are the best and brightest. We need to support all of them. Contribute to the Criminal Minds Assistance Fund. Write and email the networks. Follow the Criminal Minds Strike Plan. Lets get ALL of the talent back in the studio!

CRIMINAL MINDS WRITERS DESERVE MORE THAN NOTHING.

Criminal Minds: If you support the writers of Criminal Minds then show it! If you love watching new episodes of Criminal Minds then show it! Support the writers and support the show. Stop going to network websites. Stop posting on network websites. Every time you click open a network site you make them money! When the networks stop making money they will be forced to offer a fair contract to the writers. Would you work for no paycheck? Would you work for half a paycheck? I wouldn't!

CRIMINAL MINDS STUDENTS: YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE GUILD TO USE THIS EXCUSE!

Criminal Minds Students: Click the cartoon open to enlarge it. Remember that your teachers & parents won't accept this excuse unless you are actually a member of the WGA.

CRIMINAL MINDS: ADVERTISERS HITTING THE WEB.

Criminal Minds: We all love watching commercials during Criminal Minds. No, we don't but they are that necessary evil that pays the bills. We've all gotten used to fast forwarding through them so we can get to the next Criminal Minds scene. Advertisers are going to be forced to move their ad budgets to the web if the writers strike doesn't end very soon. When you call the advertisers that we list please let them know that we want them to pull their ads from tv but we don't want them advertising on sites owned by the networks. We want them to stop feeding the beast until the beast makes a deal with the writers!
