CBS has announced that this is the final season of The Mentalist. The ratings have been coming down for awhile but will they rally for the last 13 episodes? Will the network regret ending the series? Could there be an eighth season after all if the numbers are strong enough?
On The Mentalist, Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) continues to help solve tough cases, using his razor sharp skills of observation. How will the relationship of Jane and Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) affect their work? This time around the supporting castmembers are Tim Kang, Rockmond Dunbar, Joe Adler, and Josie Loren.
The higher a show’s ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better its chances for survival. New ratings data will be added as it becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.28 million total viewers.

Last year comparison: The sixth season of The Mentalist averaged a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.14 million total viewers.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like The Mentalist TV series? Do you think it should be ending or should it return for an eighth season?
I really love the mentalist, very funny
you never know what’s he’s up too?
Not boring like how the other show gets
after awhile! Please, Please, Please renew
it for another season or more?
I knew it was the deathknell of the show when they moved it to Sunday. I never could watch it then. I wish they would bring it back for another season and allowed to find its place.
please renew the mentalist. The best.
Love this show! So refreshing and so much better than all the trashy reality shows on all the networks. Please give us more of this wonderful series.
CBS killed this show with the Sunday night time slot. I could never watch it. Much better on Wednesday Nights.
Love this show and am even enjoying the new set up this season. There is so much junk on: bad writing, bad plots, annoying characters, fake reality. Come on, keep the seasons coming from this moment in time, with Abbott staying on, and give me one of the few shows I look forward to seeing.
I think it should continue where it is and with Abbott staying in Texas. Please, it is so good, and much better than most of the stuff on TV.
Please renew The Mentalist! My husband and I love this show. We love the writers’ sense of humor with Jane’s character and the plots are refreshingly entertaining. With all of the terror going on in our daily news and lives please let The Mentalist entertain us with the lighter side of life. It is a great show!
Please renew! My favorite show.
CBS are you watching us all? Or are you laughing at us all,? We like the show, need we say anything else?
The show is amazing and I am watching it in China and it is a massive success!
I am totally disappointed by the news of cancellation! This the best show on tv by Far!
I never miss an episode…..don”t cancel!!!!!!!!!
Please! You screwed up by the placing it in the Sunday after football time slot. I don’t even watch football! I had to either stay up at all hours or record the finale of the football game, The Mentalist, and then local news. What a waste!
This is a well written and acted series. With some of the crap on TV now, this is a refreshing alternative.
Favorite Show ! Would continue to watch ! Please don’t
Leave me watch American Idol !
Love it and would continue to watch an 8th season!
