The Mentalist or Lie to Me? – Poll of the Week

Some would argue that The Mentalist, if not a copycat, is at least a shout-out to Psych. They’ve even tossed each other a few nods, with the pineapple showing up a couple of times on The Mentalist and Shawn’s character on Psych mentioning watching The Mentalist. That’s all in good fun, and coming from a […]

The Mentalist – Spinoffs, guest stars, and why Jane should be more like Columbo

Hey, if Patrick Jane can make random observations during an investigation, I can make them in a post. 1. This week’s episode was one of the most entertaining of the series so far. Lots of humor and personality mixed in with the murder stuff. It also gave us two ideas for spin-off shows. There was […]

Ratings Clack – What were all those Super Bowl promos worth?

(2/1 – 2/7) Turns out, not much. If you watched the big game, you couldn’t have missed the heavy promotion for the new NBC Monday. Chuck, Heroes, and Medium all got plenty of exposure. There was even a song and dance number. The Office got its fair share as well, with the bonus of being […]
