I guess James Corden thinks that police procedurals are an odd choice of lead-in for his show, and this "Talking Mentalist" segment is him using his quirky sense of humour to have a bit of a dig at CBS for their scheduling choice. He even followed it up with a segment called "Talking 'Talking Mentalist'".
Actually I think Simon would be amused by it, and I think he knows James because he was involved in Soccer Aid, also I seem to remember seeing him in some photos of Simon with a group of people spending an evening together (after the ' I Give It A Year' London premiere I think, because I remember Claudia Winkleman being there and her husband was involved in that film, but it may have been a different occasion). |

While I do agree that procedurals might be a weird lead in, I thought the skit was flat at best. I would rather watch the Mentalist for the fourth time than his show the first time. I don't find him amusing at all. |

I think that was his point really, that it seems unlikely that it would appeal to the same audience. He may not have been completely right about that though, because The Mentalist seemed to hold its own in that slot, and it may even have got a few new viewers amongst people who were unaware of its quirky sense of humour.
I think the segment was a spoof of other serious Talking About shows, which are usually awkward and sometimes downright embarrassing - as such I found it mildly amusing. I don't know what James Corden is like as a chat show host, but I think he's quite a talented writer - I love "Gavin & Stacey" which he co-wrote, but maybe a bit too British for international viewers. |

What a nice award for the show to win!
The thing that I found interesting about these awards was that the favorite drama series was Person of Interest and the favorite drama actor was also from this show. According to a report that I read several weeks ago, Person of Interest is getting "The Mentalist Treatment" (that apparently has now become terminology in TVLand) by CBS - the only show on CBS that hasn't received word about it's fate for next season and it most likely it will get a 13-week final season. Just like The Mentalist, Person of Interest is owned by Warner Bros. Another really good, highly rated and very popular show will come to an end because CBS doesn't own it. CBS is dead serious about only airing programming that it owns even if it means killing off really good shows! |

Although Les Moonves is very successful, as head of CBS, he seems to cutting off his nose to spite his face more often now. That may not be a great long term strategy for the network. |

I just noticed that Empire magazine has a poll for the best shows on television. It'd be great to see The Mentalist included, especially since it might inspire Empire to do some coverage on Breath as well...

Info for the German members:
amazon is publishing a box with the complete series on December 3rd 2015. No info about any extras yet. But I pre-ordered it because I wanted a backup set of all the episodes anyway. No word about the Season 7 dvds but I guess that will come in December too. |

Do you remember the episode "Fugue in Red", where Jane grabs Lisbon's cheek in the bar? Someone (@BuneyFeels) asked Robin about this scene on Twitter

Thanks Peithon. I watched Psych and always liked it when they made a TM reference. For me the shows are totally different though.
Of course Psych doesn't even get near TM, but it was fun to watch. |

Thank for postin the link Pithon. I've never watched Psych, seems nice, but not shares the same playground than TM… |
