Get ready to say goodbye to Patrick Jane. The Mentailist is ending after seven seasons on CBS
Series co-star Tim Kang confirmed that the drama will be ending in a tweet that reads, “This is our 7th and final season. Looking at the scripts now, it’s so fun and such a great season!”
When the show was renewed for season seven, it was suspected that this would be the final year. The series has grown more expensive over the years and the ratings aren’t nearly as strong as they once were.
The Mentalist has been on the air since Fall 2008 and the seventh season is expected to begin airing sometime mid-season.
What do you think? Are you sorry that The Mentalist is ending or is the timing right?
I think Sunday night would be great if they’d move football to 10 am or put it on a pay channel…. Sorry guys (& some ladies) not everyone likes football… or any sports on tv. That includes, baseball, golf, and especially basketball!!! The regular channels that we’re ALL paying for is no place for sports except maybe the Olympics.
Now, back to the Mentalist…. I don’t see any chemistry between any of the characters. Get them all back, forget Red John and just solve some cases.
Not a bad show, but all good things(and shows) Hope they write a fitting finale.
I’M SORRY TO SEE IT END. I LOVE SIMON BAKER AND I LOVED THE SHOW. I THOUGHT THE FINAL SHOW LAST SEASON WAS TERRIFIC. I THINK THE SHOW LOST IT’S AUDIENCE BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES IN IT’S SCHEDULING. BECAUSE OF THE NIGHT AND TIME SLOT YOU NEVER KNEW FOR SURE WHAT TIME IT WAS GOING TO BE ON. I’M REALLY GOING TO MISS IT.
a poor drama version of Psych
and from the few episodes that I had the misfortune of watching, Jane was a pretty self centered arrogant jerk, why do people want the female lead to hook up with this D-bag?
it seems like the writers started writing a lot of interesting side stories that they could have woven into the series, but dropped after starting. and the coupling of jane and lisbon and rigsby and grace just seemed kind of clumsy and superfluous. But the cast are all brilliant actors and easily carry their fair share of the show.
Now, Rigsby & Grace WERE a couple I could agree on. Jane & Lisbon- NOT! I quit watching after Red John and R&G left the show. Don’t get me wrong, I used to like The Mentalist, and Jane/Simon. I just didn’t like the turn the show took and I didn’t like them pairing up the leads- no chemistry. I preferred the weekly crime solving, no long drawn-out arcs and RJ was a stupid one anyway.
I really Loved the show. Too bad it will not go on fever. Hopefully Mr. Baker will find another great show to star in. Will LISBON and JANE get married and not end up like the show THE GLADES on A & E ended. It looks like A & E will dtop the show LONGMIRER as well and leave us hanging too.
to bad but I lost interest when they changed the cast, did’nt like it at all!! GOOD-BYE
I have enjoyed the show but in the last season, I found myself struggling to keep up with the DVR episodes. It has a good cast and the relationships were really appealing. I think announcing a season as a” final season” before it begins is a good way to show respect for the actors and writers and the followers of the series. I wish NBC had as much sensitivity about their sudden “killing” of “Revolution.”
Think about it…programs that switched to Sunday evenings have to compete with sports and get pushed later and later in to the evening when people who go to work the next day want to go to bed, and do ! Fewer people to watch because they are sleeping !!
If the Mentalist is ending I hope it ends with Lisbon & Jane happy together.
Good timing…can only carry a plot so far.
It’s sad that CBS sabotaged it with that horrific day/time slot.
Then says Oh it’s ratings have slipped, we’re canceling it. I really like the new cast and direction of the show, it’s a shame what cbs has done.
Between the boneheads at a&e cancelling Longmire, and these nimrods at cbs, I think it shows that there are a bunch of morons running networks that make money in spite of themselves.
anyone know the schedule? I can’t find it anywhere yet.
They haven’t announced a start date yet.
thanks.
I lost interest seasons ago after long-drawn out Red John storyline. Plus, I do NOT want to see Jane & Lisbon together. They have zilch for chemistry and would rather see Jane with any one else than her. Too bad, I liked the first few seasons, but don’t care that it’s ending.
It’s only a TV show, but they seem to have that deep mysteriously unspoken thang going on. If I recall from the cliff hangger from last season Jane spilled the beans when she was running off for that other guy.
Maybe, but it’s odd….
I didn’t know Tim Kang was the show’s creator or CBS for that matter.
Many shows go more than 7 seasons, why not the Mentalist?
Guess we have CBS to thank for that….
He’s not. It was a typo.
Glad to see we’ll get a final season at least. Looks like love will really get to blossom <3
