CBS aired the television show “Criminal Minds” in 2005, involving a team of seven intelligent and unique individuals. It is running strong into its seventh season and continues to gain popularity from people of all ages.

Violence and crime have been splattered on the pages of history for centuries. Sadly, however, they will be part of the future as well. Is being a police officer or investigator as cool as they make it seem on television? Criminal Minds is just one of the many investigative television shows that keep its audience pondering over the reality of crimes. "Criminal Minds portrays the psychologist as having a more active role than they really do," explained Marc T. Zucker, academic chair of the undergraduate School of Criminal Justice at Kaplan University, in one article. "We all love the thrill of the chase and arrest, however, psychologists don 't typically accompany officers in the apprehension of suspects. Still as

How industrial norms and conditions that matter to television content because they create specific textual outcomes, norms of each television era have made certain types of programs more likely and as the norms and conditions have changed so has the range of textual possibility. For example, the introduction of subscription supported channels led to programs that would not have been allowed on broadcast networks. Because channels that function under this economic model require programming that will is considered valuable enough to entice viewers to pay for their service and are not restricted by the same strict regulations as ad-supported networks, they must provide programs that views cannot find elsewhere, which leads them to push

I watched the first 15 minutes of the Criminal Minds pilot. Like other crime shows, the killer/enemy is introduced in the very beginning and law enforcement are quickly put on the task, the show spans for about an hour, and a mix of diverse characters for the cast. Some aspects of the show are reminiscent of the work place drama where the viewer is set in the middle of the FBI and observes the relationships and their changes. We see the relationships between the characters and see how they act according their own personal doubts.

Criminal Minds is one of the most interesting television shows I have come across. What sets it apart from various other shows based on forensic science and FBI storylines is that the BAU (Behavioral Analyst Unit) catches various criminals often referred to as ‘Unsubs’ in the show through behavioral profiling which means the team solves the cases through focusing on the psychology and point of view of the criminals, deeply understanding their stressors, statutory requirements, thought processes and more that lead them into committing some of the deadliest crimes. The show is written extremely well and is believable unlike other crime shows, infact a lot of episodes are based on real crimes committed by infamous criminals. What makes this ever-so-interesting series better is its wonderful cast. Each character in this show namely Hotch, Reid, Morgan, Rossi, Garcia and Prentis have their own quirks and set of skills which they contribute to the team. From Dr. Spencer Reid’s photographic memory and unlimited knowledge about everything to Garcia and

CBS is considered one of the top six TV show networks that generate a huge percentage of revenue. The TV show network features a variety of popular TV shows like the Big Bang Theory and Criminal Minds. Essentially, CBS is responsible for a majority of the TV shows we take as mere entertainment. Additionally, CBS recently premiered a new series called, Hunted, which involves 18 contestants who participate as fugitives and remain hidden for 28 days from law enforcement to win a cash prize of $250,000. Accordingly, this essay will examine the profit-driven ideologies based on Richard Butsch’s article by examining similar shows CBS produced, the use of affluent characters, the presence of the working class in correlation to neoliberalism and tired

Even with the longest run time a film can have while keeping its audience entertained, movies are just are not able to compete with the storytelling capabilities of a well thought out television show. While talking about The Sopranos David Charpentier explained the challenges that HBO faced having to have a television show that “not only had to look like a movie, but feel like a movie” and needs to entertain for “more than two hours”(309). The easiest example for this is HBO's Game of Thrones, the series is easily one of the most popular television shows. With seven seasons out and a final eighth season on the way, people are able to see characters either stay the same with little deviation, or complete turnarounds. One such character is

If you had to reach a customer segment of “tweens” (kids between 8 and 13), which medium would you choose? What about for men in their 30s? Men in their 60s? In which medium would you advertise if you ran one of your city’s performing arts centers?

Recent and historical events throughout television history have demanded a redefinition of the medium in contemporary culture. Throughout its history television has predominantly relied upon industry practices established early in the 1960s, however, the turn of the century has produced such divergence from these practices that some scholars are defining it as an entirely new era of television. Lotz, for example, employs the term ‘post-network’, an indication of televisions separation from earlier dominant network practices (9). For the most part, Lotz and scholars alike agree that this transition has stemmed from changes in the industrial norms of producing, financing, and distributing television, as well new introductions to the industry such as the arrival of digital technologies. This essay will agree with these scholars, arguing that significant changes to the Western television industry has resulted in a new, distinctive era of television culture.

After going over how meaning is made in television, in chapter seven, Mittell goes over how these meanings on television can impact the way that we, as viewers, think about our lives and the world. Mittell goes over the two most popular approaches that are usually used to understand the relationship of the meanings conveyed through television and the real world, as a way to escape the world and as a reflection of the world. The escapist and direct reflection approaches, according to Mittell, are not accurate. The escapist approach, which states that people watch television to escape from real life, falls short when considering the news, sports, talk shows, and other reality television programs due to their connection to real life. The direct reflection approach, which states that programming on television is true to viewers’ lives, fails to take into account fantasy programs and the representation distortion that happens in non-fiction programs. Mittell argues that the best way to understand the relationship between television meanings and the way television viewers see the world is to use the refraction approach. The refraction approach states that television meanings refract the world, where programs alter the world around it and its meanings through particular techniques and forms like cinematography and editing.

The way the internet is progressing and technology eventually all TV shows, movies, music will only be accessible thought he internet and cable will be a thing if the past. TV’s are already internet capable and it’s just a matter of time before everything is digital and there are now “hardcopies” of anything. It may take 20 years for this to happen but it will and if companies don’t wait to go out of business or bankruptcy they will have no choice but to adapt.
