The Mentalist

[riffjim4069]

Did anyone see that TSA Agent knocking on the glass and doing his best Jack Benny impression (i.e., "Now cut that out") when Jane and Lisbon were kissing? My sentiments exactly. Anyway, this series has official moved into Castle/Moonlighting territory. This show has a large female demographic so perhaps this will bode well for ratings next season. We shall see.

The finale ratings rose from last week´s season low:

The Mentalist 1.5 4 9.68

Yep, I guess I shared your sentiments there, just me but I don´t like the Mentalist for the possibility of romance between Lisbon and Jane, but hopefully that will be good for next season.
Nonetheless I´m starting to have this hunch that next season will be the final one. Time will tell.

The finale ratings rose from last week´s season low:

The Mentalist 1.5 4 9.68

These ratings will be adjust upward to 11 million viewers after the DVR folks are counted, which is not bad for being stuck in the Sunday, 10:00 PM timeslot...

[boba]

CBS may have renewed it but our local MY network has it in syndication, many times that means it is at the end of it's life

 

[DJdish]

My Network tv will start airing it on Thursdays, this week. I think it will return to CBS next year.

 

[teachsac]

I believe they are only doing a short run sometime mid to end of year. It was a surprise pickup.

'The Mentalist' Upcoming Season Confirmed to be Last

Yep, it's the last one. As much as I have enjoyed this show over the years, it's time. However, since we're no longer dealing with Red John I imagine the season will focus on Jane's budding relationship with Lesbian.

 

[DJdish]

Well, I agree, if this season is the last one, should be refreshing to get that Red business out of the way.
Anyways the only Red I´m interested nowadays is Red Reddington.
None the less, I´d rather be spared of any romantic nonsense in this show.

Unfortunately, I see this final season focusing on Jane-Lizbon and their budding relationship...while going after the bad guy of the week. Happy endings ad nauseum! I would love to see a series finale in which Jane and Lizbon are murdered by the Son of Red John.

Agreed, that would make this another Castle, mmm.
Now there´s a refreshing idea, why not? Let the second generation of of Red John get some vengeance. from Jane and friends and then finish the show.

Looks like they are going to kill off a lot of shows, only Tivo will be able to find them.

 

[DJdish]

Looks like at least there won´t be many Sundays left with potential football overruns that could affect CSI.

Good start for this last season

 

[boba]

I watched 6 minutes of the recording then erased it. Just too long a hiatus couldn't get back into the story line.
