The Mentalist reminds me of a lot of Columbo hide show
The Mentalist reminds me of a lot of Columbo.
When I first sat down to watch The Mentalist, I thought that it was an ok show but I really wasn't impressed with it. I compare most Detective / Mystery shows to Columbo and most of those shows fall short.
The main reason why I wasn't impressed with The Mentalist was because I thought that character Jane was created as a cheap Columbo knock off, but I was wrong.
There are a lot of similarities between Columbo and Jane but there are also a lot of differences. The Mentalist is more upbeat and takes away some of the darkness to a typical murder mystery.
The Mentalist is a really good show, though not as thought provoking as Columbo but still a good show.
The Mentalist is the best show currently airing on broadcast television. hide show
A mentalist is a master manipulator of thought and behavior. The mentalist is Patrick Jane (Simon Baker in an acclaimed performance), a celebrity psychic whose wife and child are viciously murdered by an elusive serial killer called Red John. Devastated, Patrick admits his paranormal act is fake, renounces his earlier life and uses his astonishing skills of observation and analysis - talents that made him appear psychically gifted - to bring killers to justice. At crime scenes across California, Patrick now helps an elite team of detectives break their toughest cases. But no matter how many criminals he catches, Patrick never forgets his central goal: Find Red John. And bring him down. Patrick's superior is the no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon who openly resists having Patrick in her unit and frequently alternates between reluctantly acknowledging his usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team includes Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt, who all think Patrick's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases. Sometimes light-hearted and funny, sometimes serious and dramatic. All in all, The Mentalist is the best show currently airing on broadcast television.
Future mentalist in training hide show
I love this how so clever, and i love Simon Baker so gorgeus and from Aus land like me, hope it ends up with like four or five series.
The Mentalist
This crime drama centers on Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), a well-known former television psychic who, after being exposed as a fraud, uses his very real abilities as a mentalist to help the California Bureau of Investigation solve crimes. As a mentalist, Jane uses his highly developed skills of observation, deduction and manipulation to aid the Serious Crimes unit. He's charismatic, if a bit odd - an edgy, modern Sherlock Holmes whose controversial methods often cross the line, but, ultimately prove him right.
Hope it last for even longer
I found this show interesting at first. It was sort of a less comical version of Psyche, and I liked the puzzle solving approach and the Sherlock Holmes like deductions. And the lead was quirky and interesting.
After seeing the first episode I didn't watch it for a while. I liked it, but there was something else on that night I liked more. But later I caught some more episodes. Oddly enough, the Psyche approach seemed to have seemed to have been tossed out, making the show more of a standard cop/detective thing.
But I still liked the lead, and I kept watching until this episode where some hypnotist has this army of the hypnotized do their bidding.
It wasn't that I made a conscious decision to stop watching the show at this point, but I have a long history of giving up on a show when it does something really moronic. A super hypnotist would make sense in an episode of Batman or Superman, but in The Mentalist it struck me as being utterly ludicrous. The show simply turned out to be stupider than I thought it was, and I've never watched it sense.
They took it off Tuesdays, My only night off
They did the Unit, too. Now it's been canceled.I love Mentalist.Simon Baker is perfecto. It was last "years hottest new show"

Not your ordinary case,eh? But what case is?
Where's Jane going now?
Patrick Jane has been assigned to the CBI. He's not a cop, doesn't carry a gun, can't fight. But can he solve cases! "Let him go, there's a reason he's here"
"Ok,but stay with him" Jane will figure it out, call out the perps for the scum they are, then in the end he will show humanity and mercy for the victims, lift them up you know,bring estranged relatives together.
Then there's the subplot that carries through the entire series--Red John who murdered Jane's wife and daughter (it happened before the series started)At first there were very few details,we learned a little at a time. Red John is still out there and Patrick Jane wants his justice!
I haven't seen any of season 2 yet...
