How did we do that?

A lot of cookies to bake.

Its a lot of TV.
Criminal Mindsis currently the 18th-most-watched series in American broadcast television.
The list puts us in impressive company.
Rare air, as one of our transpo captains says.
Then again, I was worried about making it to 100 and 200 as well.
Truth is, none of us ever thought wed make it this far.
Or that the critics hated us when we premiered.
Or that we had some major shakeups in the early days.
Or that weve always had to weather big storms.
But now, 13 calendar years and 14 broadcast seasons later, our devoted fans have proven otherwise.
Theyve been tuning in every Wednesday night since 2005, before delayed viewers were ever measured.
And if they cant watch at 10 p.m., theyll ensure to tune in before the following episode.
Its why we wanted 300 to be extra-special.
To give our fans a proper thank you for watching and cheering us on.
We experienced King Tut to the Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Thats when it really hit me.
I know how we got to 300 episodes.
All I had to do was look around at the amazing cast and crew.
Its not just their incredible talent, its their families who share them with the rest of us.
Its more than our cast of onscreen heroes, its everyone behind the behind-the-scenes players.
Everyone who works onCriminal Mindstakes pride in being part of this little engine that could.
We wouldnt be here without the love and support of friends, family and fans.
So, thank you.
Were all humbled to keep making television history in our forgotten, magical corner of LA.
