The Mentalist

I'm done with the show. I've gotten tired of the smug, smirking Patrick Jane picking up clues that the dumb-ol' detectives can't see while Rigsby and Van Pelt circle each other towards their eventual hook-up. That realization hit on Friday, I hadn't gotten around to watching the tape of Tuesday's show. I just rewound the tape to the beginning and left the show to be recorded over by something else.

Yet "Life on Mars" failed and "the Unusuals" is in ratings trouble. I don't know why the networks bother, they ought to let cable do the edgy shows while they concentrate on what they do best: Churning out meaningless tripe.

I'll watch with the volume muted, because Simon Baker is HOT.

Esteemed Comrade E.B. Misfit,

A promo this AM for the show reminded me that you'd had an issue with it. I think you were kind as regards your description of Simon Baker. The phrase smarmy pos surfaced for me, all by its ownself. I hear he took lessons from Brad Pittiful, but who believes that shit?
