So, looking at those numbers, Criminal Minds had a pretty good year: it was among the best performing show on all of broadcast TV, and among the top performer on CBS in both, demographics and viewers. Even better, Criminal Minds did increase its viewership by 4.2% and didn't lose demographic if compared to last season. Not bad for a 10 years old show!
