TM answered back in the episode 1.05 'Redwood' with the pineapple air freshener in the killer's car and the fact that Cho hates pineapple on hawaiian pizza, (a pineapple appears in episodes of Psych). However while initially the folks at Psych were playful about similarities between the shows, toward the end they became noticeably more sarcastic off-camera and it was said USA Network (producer of Psych, subsidiary of NBC) passed on TM for syndication because of ruffled feathers. Similar bad feelings came about between Fox and their show, Lie to Me, with the star Tim Roth making unintentionally funny remarks like their show was real compared to TM. They don't call it Hollyweird for nothing. |

I guess both shows resented the fact that what they considered to be the mediocre version of themselves was so popular. Simon Baker was definitely a huge reason behind this, but The Mentalist also had clever layers to it that I think the naysayers missed. It wasn't just a run of the mill procedural. |

Perhaps they were jealous that Baker could "hold a room" and they couldn't, so much. |

I think that jealousy has a lot to do with the trash talking from the other shows. But I think that it is a very competitive business and sometimes the hits are not a matter of following a formulae. I think that TM is a great example of that. There is some intangible quality to the shows that make it big. IMO, Simon was the difference in spades. He has a charisma and special something extra that brought the viewers and kept them. I think that writing, supporting cast and all the other pieces are certainly important, and have to be well done, but the shows that stand out have that extra something. I think that this show was a great place to show case Simon's sly wit, range and allowed his character to evolve over time. All that said, I still miss it every day. |

For the last couple of days there's been some activity on TM Facebook page, new cover photo and today's post:

Is something going on or they just follow airing show in France?

Robin has been very patient answering questions from TM fans on twitter. It has been fun hearing her responses to some of the thoughts and questions. Helps make it less miserable without new episodes. |

I agree, Robin is sweet! She answers a lot of questions, has kind words for people who are not feeling well. And she stays in the mind of her fans. I wish Simon would be a bit more present on insta, people are forgetting him ...it's not good for Breath ...the posts of Simon pics on instagram are getting less.
He should give the fans some info about Breath ...just a little something! |

I miss that car!
The lifting up of the car before starting to drive is funny. Our neighbor, the father of my best friend at school had a Citroen DS, and he drove us to school some times. It was always strange for me that we had to wait until he started driving. |

Today is the broadcast of the very Mentalist finale in France…
Here's a little fun fact about the French voice of Simon Baker:
While TF1 broadcasts the ultimate episode of The Mentalist on Tuesday, November 24 at 8:55 p.m., the actor Thierry Ragueneau, whom dubs Simon Baker in the series, reflects on the experience.
Q: You lend your voice to the Mentalist since the first episode. Must be hard to have to say goodbye this Tuesday, while TF1 offers the ultimate episode of the series?
A (Thierry Ragueneau): Yes, it is quite difficult because it's been seven years since I give him my voice. Simon Baker acts with such a freedom that it's a real pleasure to dub him. It therefore offers me more room to move away a bit from the very beaten tracks of dubbing. This allows me to achieve a real French version. It's rare when it's reaching that stage.
