Just checked out this new series Forever. Well, I'm not a fan of syfy, but Ioan Grufford is the lead in this one, he's a cute Welsh actor I really like, so I might give this one a try once it airs in Germany. But it can never ever replace TM! No show will ever good enough for me to do this! TM is my alltime favorite! |

As to scheduling of TM, right now CBS doesn't have it listed as a fall TV show. However they are shooting TM on its regular schedule, starting in July, so theoretically, if any of the new CBS' series bomb, they could slot TM there in an emergency, otherwise the talk has been mid-season which can mean January 2015 on, since CBS has been scheduling shows to run in the summer as well. Forever is a new show for another network, ABC, starring Ioan Gruffudd, but apparently Warner Bros, the producer of TM, must have been pushing it as the international sucessor to The Mentalist to buyers, although Gotham is their hottest property, which I thought was odd, but Gotham is dark and Gothic in atmosphere, Forever is more like TM being a procedural drama with comic elements with a foreign actor on top (Welsh). The big breakout last season, Sleepy Hollow, a reworking of the Ichabod Crane story by America's first commercially successful author, Washington Irving, full of Supernatural elements wiith a comedic edge of man from the past in modern times, seems to have ushered in a whole bunch of supernatural themed series, and of course we have several comic book inspired series, incl the supernatural Constantine being produced by TM writer Daniel Cerone that also looks quite good. The best scenario for TM is that CBS puts it on the schedule early, it does well and CBS orders the back 9 as it's said (another half a season.) All of the new series mentioned go up against the top shows in CBS' line up, so survival will be very tough for all of them.

The title "Forever" and the basic premise remind me of a Canadian show I used to watch, "Forever Knight" about a vampire cop and a human female coroner who was in love with him. If this new show goes that route I'm totally not interested.... existential angst of love between mortal and non-mortal. .. These are just ramblings off the top of my head. |

I pre-ordered my copy on 9th June from Amazon but will have to wait until late October for it to be sent. Always a nice surprise when it pops through the post though.  |

I hope that they have tons of deleted scenes, These are always my favorites on the DVDs and quite frankly give a bit more insight on the performers themselves and not the role they play. |

Thanks syriana for the DVD release details - I'm disappointed once again by the Special Features, seems they're continuing their decision not to give us any outtakes - meanies  |

Bruno Heller will be at Comic Con in late July representing Gotham. Hopefully he'll be asked to comment on The Mentalist. In the great world of irony, FOX who is broadcasting the new show, absolutely hated TM and were very vocal about it, particulary in interviews regarding their failed attempt to copy which they declared was 'real' Lie To Me. |

Thanks for the insight into Fox and The Mentalist, Peithon. Is Heller even officially associated with The Mentalist anymore? |

He's still an executive producer, and his company Primrose Hill still produces. Heller's production offices are at Warner Brothers. BTW, his previous pilot The Advocates which CBS wanted then decided they didn't, well the star finally commented (now star of Gotham) that CBS told them there wasn't room on the schedule for that show. If Gotham hits, it will do severe damage to CBS' top show TBBT, as it plays directly into that demo and niche. CBS may have created their own dragon by not picking up The Advocates. That would be kinda fun
