Goofs:
Factual errors: The black SUVs used by the team frequently have US Government "G" plates. However, the plates are usually incorrect for the type of vehicle they are on. Plates with prefixes of G12 and G14 have been seen. However, G12 is not a valid prefix, and G14 indicates a large sedan, and would be incorrect for use on an SUV.

Criminal Minds shows the viewers that it takes wits to beat the bad guys. The common link between CM & CSI is that the question of "How?" is always more interesting.
The only difference: CSI centers around physical evidence gathering & collecting the pieces to solve a puzzle.
Criminal Minds involves more psychology & sociology. We, as viewers, want to know what makes someone tick as a way to prevent crimes from occurring again.
Another reason why I enjoy this showed so much is how the characters put their expertise in play to solve some of the most twisted people around.
As casting is concerned: Patinkin is perfect as Jason Gideon. If you think about it, he's more like a professor citing famous lines from Einstein, Faulkner, etc.
When I first read those lines, it didn't make sense at first, but as you watch each episode , the lines that Gideon cites has more meaning to it.
For example: Einstein: "Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Gideon is saying that the human mind is the deadliest weapon of all, & we are capable of anything & everything of achieving all kinds of possibilities.
In conclusion, Criminal Minds is the kind the of show that anyone can enjoy.
