To catch a criminal, you have to think like one
Criminal Minds is an American crime drama that premiered September 22, 2005 on CBS. The show follows the adventures of a team of profilers from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) at Quantico, Virginia. Criminal Minds differs from many criminal system procedural dramas by focusing on the criminal rather than the crime itself.
The series' third season, which premiered on September 26, 2007, was interrupted in late 2007 by the industry-wide writer's strike . It aired its last pre-strike episode on January 23, 2008. Following the resolution of the strike, the show returned to air on April 2, 2008 and is slated to broadcast seven episodes for the remainder of the season. (read more)

Discussion: David Rossi vs. Jason Gideon
The new season of CM is pretty good - but I think that it may have lost some of its spark with the departure of Mandy Patinkin's character, Gideon. Maybe it's because I liked Jason's character better. I have to say I did hate Rossi when he first came on the show. I missed Gideon and did not want anybody to try to take his place (like anybody could). I am glad the writers made his character so different.
Which character do you like better?

Spencer Reid says:
I could care less about Gideon or Rossi - I just want to bone Paget Brewster all night long!

Arizona Dave says:
Rossi's character is much different than Gideon's and really can't be compared. That said, I never liked Gideon. Rossi is a great character.
