List of Criminal Minds episodes

Criminal Minds is an American police procedural drama television series that premiered on CBS on September 22, 2005.

Other former characters are Elle Greenaway, Jason Gideon, Jordan Todd, Ashley Seaver, Dr. Alex Blake, Kate Callahan, Derek Morgan, Aaron Hotchner and Stephen Walker.
