The Mentalist hits No. 1
We have a "new" new No. 1 show! Although CSI returned to its No. 1 spot at the top of the Nielsen list this past week with over 20 million viewers tuning in to see Laurence Fishburn’s first episode, the previous week’s prime time ratings king was CBS’ new hit The Mentalist!
I’ve heard nothing but good things about this show from its beginning in October and I’ve always enjoyed looking at its star, Australian actor Simon Baker. However, I haven’t yet watched an episode. But with 19 million viewers now tuning in, I’ve decided to give it a shot tonight at 9 p.m.
Afterall, it’s the first new-season show in recent memory to land on the top of the charts – now that’s saying something!
The Mentalist stars Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has an incredible track record for solving serious crimes by using his intense skills of observation (a former con-man-turned-cop).
On tonight’s episode the evidence in a poisoning death points to Jane’s former shrink as a suspect.

Kim,
Glad to see you are going to give The Mentalist a shot. I think it is one of the bright spots in the newer network shows. The stories are decent and Simon Baker is cool enough.It also got me back into watching Without a Trace which follows. I had gotten away from that for awhile and it still is pretty good.

Where do I know Baker from?

Elfman, Baker's been in lots of films, check out imdb for info, but most popular were
Devil Wears Prade
Something New
Land of the Dead (zombie flick)
The Ring 2
And his American feature film debut was in LA Confidential with fellow Aussies Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce.
Also starred on short-lived TV show The Guardian.
Hope this helps.
Kim
