The show is a forensics and police procedural in which each episode focuses on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth to the forensic anthropology team of Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan. Emily Deschanel stars in the title role, David Boreanaz as Agent Booth. The rest of the cast includes Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley (formerly) and John Boyd. |

+ | '''''Criminal Minds''''' was/is an American crime drama series on the ''[[CBS]]'' network. The series premiered on September 22, 2005 and ended on February 19, 2020 with a total of 324 episodes spanning over fifteen seasons. The series has been revival and renewed for its [[Season Sixteen|16th season]] in late February and will move to Paramount+ for 10 episodes. |
||
− | The series, created by Hart Hanson, is very loosely based on the works of real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, who is herself a producer on the show. Its title character, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment, Far Field Productions and 20th Century Fox Television. |
||
− | |||
− | Bones ended with its 12th season (as "Bones: The Final Chapter"). The finale episode premiered on March 28, 2017. |

==Creation and Premise== |
==Creation and Premise== |
||
+ | Criminal Minds was created by Jeff Davis and is produced by the ''Mark Gordon Company'' in association with ''CBS Television Studios'' and ''ABC Studios''. The show follows the investigative lives of the [[FBI]]'s [[Behavioral Analysis Unit]] at [[Quantico]], Virginia. |
||
− | The concept of Bones was developed during the latter part of the pitching season of 2004 when 20th Century Fox approached series creator Hart Hanson with an idea of a forensics show. Hanson was asked to meet with executive producer Barry Josephson, who had purchased the rights to produce a documentary on the forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs. Although Hanson was reluctant about being involved in making a police procedural, he signed on and wrote the pilot episode after having an intensive meeting with Josephson about the show. As the show is based on the works of Reichs, the writers constantly involve her in the process of producing the episodes' storylines. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The unit itself is based entirely on the real-life BAU built by FBI [[Profiler]] [[John Douglas]]. The show's former main character, [[Jason Gideon]], and current main character, [[David Rossi]], are both partially based on John Douglas himself, with respect to different aspects of their personalities.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas#Fictional_portrayals Wikipedia article on John Douglas, Mindhunter]</ref> The show abandons the common format of procedural dramas by focusing more on the criminals and their victims instead of the main cast. |
||
+ | Throughout the episodes, quotations from famous philosophers are often recited by the cast. These quotations are relevant to the episode's plot and help to bring the "pieces" of the case together. Previously, it was always [[Jason Gideon]] who recited them, but, since his departure, the rest of the cast have taken over; quotations mainly being quoted by the prominent character of that episode. |
||
− | In order to make Bones a unique crime drama in the midst of the multiple procedural dramas that already populated network television like the Law & Order and CSI franchises, Hanson decided to infuse the show with humor and character development as much as possible. Another element conceived for the show was the "Angelator", a holographic projector whose use is to replace flashbacks that are often used by other procedural shows. In addition to their expositional purposes, the holographic images, which are created by visual effects, brought a unique visual style to the show that the producers were looking for. |

Revision as of 09:14, 21 August 2021
Criminal Minds was/is an American crime drama series on the CBS network. The series premiered on September 22, 2005 and ended on February 19, 2020 with a total of 324 episodes spanning over fifteen seasons. The series has been revival and renewed for its 16th season in late February and will move to Paramount+ for 10 episodes.
Creation and Premise
Criminal Minds was created by Jeff Davis and is produced by the Mark Gordon Company in association with CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios. The show follows the investigative lives of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit at Quantico, Virginia.
The unit itself is based entirely on the real-life BAU built by FBI Profiler John Douglas. The show's former main character, Jason Gideon, and current main character, David Rossi, are both partially based on John Douglas himself, with respect to different aspects of their personalities.[1] The show abandons the common format of procedural dramas by focusing more on the criminals and their victims instead of the main cast.
Throughout the episodes, quotations from famous philosophers are often recited by the cast. These quotations are relevant to the episode's plot and help to bring the "pieces" of the case together. Previously, it was always Jason Gideon who recited them, but, since his departure, the rest of the cast have taken over; quotations mainly being quoted by the prominent character of that episode.
Opening Credits
For the first five seasons, they changed just enough to reflect the changes in the main cast, keeping the original theme song created for the show intact. Starting with the first change made in Season Six (6th version), the theme song has been subtly updated and modernized, with electric guitars added that play the main four-note motif, along with the sound effect of an explosion towards the end. Starting with the third change made in Season Twelve (14th version), the explosion sound effect has been removed.

Richard Schiff portrayed FBI Director Jack Fickler and Janeane Garofalo played Beth Griffith, the only BAU agent that didn't appear in The Fight.
Beyond Borders
The second spin-off, Beyond Borders, was introduced in the episode of the same name, and premiered on March 16, 2016 with a 13-episode order. The series aired for two seasons, each consisting of 13 episodes, before eventually cancelling on May 14, 2017 due to bad ratings received from both audience and critics, based on reasons such as inaccurate depictions of countries the episodes were set in as well as their denizens.
It focuses on the specialized International Division of the FBI tasked with solving crimes and coming to the rescue of Americans who find themselves in danger while abroad. Heading the department is Unit Chief Jack Garrett (Gary Sinise), a seasoned 20-year veteran of the Bureau. The team he trusts with his life includes Clara Seger (Alana De La Garza), a new member who is a cultural anthropologist; Matthew Simmons (Daniel Henney), a former military hero with split-second profiling skills he honed on the battlefield; and Russ "Monty" Montgomery (Tyler James Williams), the unit's compassionate, brilliant tech analyst who additionally liaises stateside with the families of those in trouble while his group is far from home. These agents are dedicated to safely returning U.S. residents home by profiling and identifying criminals who are beyond the country's borders.
South Korean Version
A South Korean version of the series was announced in April 2017. It will follow a group of profilers as they track down criminals and solve cases. South Korean actors Lee Joon-gi, Moon Chae-won, Son Hyun-joo, Lee Sun-bin, and Kim Yeong-cheol will star in lead roles, while fellow actors Yoo Sun and Go Yoon will appear in supporting roles. The series is produced by Taewon Entertainment and NEW in association with ABC Studios, and will begin airing on the South Korean channel tvN in July 2017.
