In contrast, there are many who wondered at the pairing of Blue Bloods<\/em> with Hawaii Five-O<\/em>. \u00a0A match-up that as succeeded for several seasons now. \u00a0Perhaps it is the nostalgia factor of Hawaii Five-O<\/em> that leads some to also like a Tom Selleck led show. \u00a0Or maybe\u00a0audience members who like one cop show on an island (Hawaii) like another cop show on an island (Manhattan). \u00a0 Whatever the magic is (two strong family\/community-centric shows?), the majority of the audience from Hawaii Five-O<\/em>\u00a0appears to stay where they are for another hour and follow the Reagan family as they keep New York safe in Blue Bloods<\/em>.<\/p>\n Stalkers Maggie Q Dylan McDermott<\/p><\/div>\n When it comes to Wednesday nights on CBS one can not help but think that Stalker<\/em> is benefiting from having been slotted in after Criminal Minds<\/em>. \u00a0Both shows are intense rides\u00a0and with 9 seasons under their belt Criminal Minds<\/em> has shown not only that they know what they are doing, but they are skilled at bringing characters in and out of the fold. \u00a0New this season, Stalker follows a Threat Assessment Unit (TAU) as opposed to the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) of Criminal Minds, but the characters are equally determined to protect the victims, hunt down the bad guys, and keep people safe.<\/p>\n In some respects, Stalker<\/em> and Criminal Minds<\/em> might have been placed together on the schedule as a combination of both theories… they would attract the same audience, and yet there may have been a fear that Stalker<\/em> was not getting enough advance attention and promotion for the Criminal Minds<\/em> audience and fan base to find the show.<\/p>\n If Morgan (Shemar Moore<\/a>), Reed (Matthew Gray Gubler<\/a>) and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness<\/a>) from Criminal Minds<\/em> were to help the TAU out on a case or two on Stalker<\/em> the show might not only get a bump in the ratings, but keep those extra audience members as they discover what they have been missing out on.<\/span><\/p>\n Criminal Minds<\/em> airs\u00a0Wednesdays on CBS @ 9:00-10:00 PM, ET\/PT<\/strong> Criminal Minds On the Web:\u00a0
