I will say this, I was mad about the way the Emily/JJ fiasco was handled by CBS, and I did stop watching the show. Not because of the fiasco however. I moved and cancelled my television service. Had I kept my television service I would have continued to watch the show. I think CBS had the right idea that the male characters are in reality the favorite characters. I know they were mine at least. As long as that core group of Hotch, Morgan, and Reid is there (and I still had TV) I'd keep coming back.

I know I don't speak for everyone but that's my take on it.
