Full Season Ahead for ‘The Mentalist’
Great Show Gets Big Reward
CBS made it official on October 15: the network’s excellent new crime drama The Mentalist will stick around for a full freshman season of 22 episodes. Couldn’t have happened to a better show.
Nielsen ratings indicate that not only has the entertaining Simon Baker drama been pulling in audiences averaging just upward of 16 million viewers each week, but the rookie has also ranked first among viewers aged 25–54 in its Tuesday, 9pm-10pm EST time slot.
How good it is to see a new show getting the attention it deserves. Here’s to a few more seasons after the first.
If you haven’t been watching Baker portray keenly observant California Bureau of Investigation consultant Patrick Jane, check The Mentalist out next Tuesday at 10pm for a fresh episode. I highly recommend it.
The Mentalist currently airs Tuesdays on CBS at 9pm EST
