My personal feeling is that this erratic schedule will hurt this show.
If not for the information provided here I would not have tuned in next week. I actually hope I remember to now!

It's ok.

It's no Journeyman though. I thought that was a much better mentalism show.

As a VIACOM A stock holder it has been very sad to watch CBS run itself into the ground over the past few years. The Mentalist is just the latest victim. One week after it's the number one show in the country they bump the time on the east coast by an hour and then pull it all together on Christmas week. Sad, very sad.

I'm getting a vision......
a scene cut from latest episode...
many colours, organised?

Eureka!

Its Jane solving a rubik's cube that Kendall was struggling with, I wonder if it was done blindfolded.

You must be Psychic ... Oh that's right ... There aren't any Psychics

Seems like CBS or the powers that be are trying to sabotage this show!

The programming has been fairly erratic here in Australia too. We had about seven episodes played, and then it stopped for the non ratings season (just before Xmas to late January), and last week they started it up again, starting from episode four. Hopefully they'll continue to play the repeats in order and then just run straight into the episodes we haven't seen once the ratings period starts again.

Cheers,

How about a TV show called: PsyChick

Also whose been trigger happy to move this off the penny forums

"If I tell you how it's done, the Magic Circle will send a team of assassins to kill us all. It's the law."
-- Patrick Jane, The Mentalist


That line about the Magic Circle was AWSOME!!!!!
For once we agree

FYI--there was a story in today's Daily Variety that declared "The Mentalist" was the only unqualified hit among the new shows of the '08/'09 season.

They moved THE MENTALIST off of the Mentalism Forum? WOW

New episode was on last night. Part of what has been going on lately is that a number of their shows have been rerun as fodder against bowl games and other holiday type fare so that they blow against the "specials".

I believe I know who they want us to think RED JOHN is!!!!!!

Sumner Redstone, head of VIACOM/CBS?

Of course I kid because I care. I believe, but don't know for a fact, that Red John got a little sand in his shoes last night.

Another show starting soon with a psychological people reading theme:

RED RUM .... The Shining has been on all week!!!!!
Nice tie in .... ?

New episode Sunday 1/18 after the Ravens/Steelers game

Good Show! Good game ...SUPERBOWL !!!!!!!!
The ghosts predict the score

No dog in the hunt, but I'd have to say 31 - 13 Steelers.

And don't forget The Mentalist is on at 10:00 this tuesday night as well. This'll give you an idea of how well The Mentalist is doing, Fox moved House to monday nights to get out of it's way.

But it used to be opposite Fringe, not House. And I have not missed one Fringe, great show! I've only seen about 10 minutes of the Mentalist so far, no real interest to see more.

Tony

I stand corrected. House is running from NICS, The Mentalist's lead in.

Last night's episode was pretty well written (with one gaping plot hole, but hey its TV) and you should give it a try Tony, the show doesn't take itself seriously at all and many of the lead characters aren't American but pull off great accents. *** you NAFTA!
