Might See TV

I agree with the comments below. I also feel that this is a great vehicle for Simon Baker and IT WORKS! The reviewer needs to be more open minded when it comes to telev ision police dramas. I hope "The Mentalist" will have a great run for five years. At least it isn't another concoction of "Law & Order" or "CIS/NCIS" etc.. It is a fresh approach to police crime drama without it being too predictableand interesting. I liken it along the line of "Bones" a show in which I have great respect for its writers, producers and actors. Every wekk it is fresh and entertaining. Isn't that what it is all about? Some reviewers tend to get stale and not look at the from the average person who watches television.

I really like "The Mentalist" I wouldn't compare it to "Psyche" at all. I found the one time I watched Psych that it was silly and gimmicky. On the other hand the Mentalist was sharp, believable and the actors were great. There are really very good profilers who work with law enforcement who are so good they seem psychic so I don't find this show out of the range of belief at all. I hope it succeeds, although most of the shows I liked last season didn't make it. It seems that you have to have a reality show or brainless game show to succeed in tv. That's why I rarely watch the networks anymore.
