So, CBS has been running ads all over town declaring that their new show, The Mentalist, is their number one new show. But, me confused: isn't that this? Only more serious and with an Aussie dude?
Now yes, I'm totally biased here, since PSYCH is one of my favorite shows on TV, but let's examine the evidence, shall we? (After all, that's what they would do on one of these shows, wouldn't they?!)
This is how CBS describes their show:
THE MENALIST stars Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation.
And here's what PSYCH is about:
PSYCH is a quick-witted comedy/drama starring James Roday as young police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute that Santa Barbara PD detectives think he’s psychic.
Discuss.

I know that's mean and rude, but nobody said life was fair - it's just the way it is.
Personally, I'm just glad there's a show out there that's debunking the existence of Psychics - I'm excited to hear there's a second one! (I don't have cable)
