In week two, The Mentalist fell 7% in the demo to a 2.6 rating and 12.92 million. That matches the show’s second-lowest demo rating and is the fewest number of viewers in the drama’s history. The series is still popular but it’s not really a hit for CBS any longer.
Season average: 2.7 demo with 13.24 million.

Episode 04-01: Thursday, 9/22/11
The season premiere ratings came as a disappointment this time around. Despite ending last season on a big cliffhanger, the show was down year-to-year by 18% in the 18-49 demographic. It garnered a 2.8 rating with 13.56 million viewers. It was second place in its timeslot.


Reference point: The 2010-11 season averaged a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 14.53 million viewers.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

OMG!! Where do they think they are going with this. After watching tonight’s episode, (4 – 23, Red Rover, Red Rover, May 10, 2012), especially the preview of the season finale next week, 4 – 24, The Crimson Hat, I believe I QUIT! After 3 seasons as a dedicated fan, then a somewhat painful 4th season of “hanging in” hoping they would redeem themselves finally somehow for the complete botch they did ending last season, when they decided to kill off the show’s main protagonist, then seemingly figured out too late that their viewers were generally unhappy with that decision,… Read more »
