How you got into the show?

How did you all get interested in Criminal Minds? Have you been watching it since the beginning? Did you have nothing else to watch and just stumbled across an episode and was hooked? What was you first episode? First impressions about the characters?

Well I first saw it when I was just a kid, like when it FIRST was ever on the air. I'm pretty sure I saw the first episode back then, but all I really remember from it was Gideon. I think I watched a couple more episodes, but there was a schedule conflict so I stopped. I watched bits and pieces for the next couple of years when I caught it on but never as a weekly ordeal.

Then this year, I fell in love with Anton Yelchin. Of course doing my creeper stalker research as I do when I become interested in any celebrity, I memorized his IMDb page, and I noticed that he was in an episode of Criminal Minds. It was just my luck that same episode was airing on tv about an hour later, so I watched it and have been obsessed with the show (and Dr. Reid) ever since.

:D

I myself was waiting to watch American Idol last year back when i actually liked the show and my dad was watching Criminal Minds. I sat with him and watched it and absolutely loved it. I love crime shows, my biggie, CSI.
Plus Reid was just adorable.
Idk which ep it was, but i started watching Criminal Minds.

And omg, yes, Anton Yelchin! <333 I still havent seen the episode he was in, but i am dying to see it. Anton Yelchin + Criminal Minds = epic squeeing.
