I know it's fairly new, and 14+, but I've recently gotten into (read: obsessed with) it. Any other viewers? It's on CBS, Tuesdays at ...9 pm, I think.
\:D/ Patrick Jane owns.

OH OH OH! Okay, so, I've only seen about... 1 episode, but man... that's a gooooooooooooooooood show! Eck! YEAH! I also recently found out that one of the lead characters was on another fav show of mine... :) I hope to watch more of the episodes some day... I can't seem to find any full-lengh episodes anywhere. Even CBS doesn't have any.

That show ROCKS!!!! Good choice for an obsession! (JK)

well, it is the first season; they don't really offer full episodes legally. but. ahem. I first watched #3 (red tide) on CBS in october, and found it rather awesome that Patrick Jane wears three-piece suits even to the beach. then I searched for it on my various tv show-watching sites, and got hooked.

so far my favourite episodes have been #5 (redwood), #9 (flame red), and #10 (red brick and ivy). #9 is probably the one I'll end up recommending to -anyone-, because to watch #10 it's best to watch the whole season up to that point.

urr, I know I am um .. . some months late for this thread. ..

but I must say YOUR POLL ANSWERS WERE NOT GOOD D:
the best answer is "it's okay" ?! I am sure agatha would not approve, if agatha were to be answering said poll rather than making it.

at any rate I watch it occasionally, via links you post >.> <.<
it is a good show, I would like to see more of it.

Meh. It's a blatent (and much less well-done) ripoff of "Psych". Apparently the networks are too lazy to come up with their own ideas for shows now. Whatever.

Actually, Jugglah, three key differences:

1) Patrick Jane doesn't pretend to be psychic. Biggest difference.

2) There are two different sorts of genres represented. Psych is comedy/drama. The Mentalist is darker and deeper.

3) First season. Can I hear a "give it some time?"

Don't shoot it down. I'm assuming you've seen a couple/some episodes?

both of them are entertaining to me, they're extremely different facets of a similar concept
but then again I don't have the required Burning Television Spirit to follow one show for any long period of time so maybe it's just something that needs work on my personality

Haven't watched very much of Mentalist yet, admittedly, but it certainly seems interesting. Hopefully the second-season curse won't hit it too hard.

Why isn't there an "AWESOME" option on this poll? ;)

And there is definately a major difference between 'Psych' and 'The Mentalist', and anyone who has seen more than 1-2 episodes will see that. Both are great shows, though!

And personal opinion: CBI Director is Red John. :-$

Virgil Minelli?

I've heard rumours it's Van Pelt, or Patrick Jane himself. I always console myself with the fact that most television writers can't think that far ahead, and don't actually know how such whiplash-causing plot twists will work.

Unless the writers for Mentalist are the same ones as Lost's.

In which case we're in for a squidge of a ride. o_o

Alright, I'm into this show right now. Working my way through the second season. Definitely a fan of Jane's character.
