A show of hands — who didn’t see this coming?
CBS has picked up The Mentalist for a full season.
An Eye spokesperson confirms that the network has ordered nine additional episodes of the freshman smash, bringing the show’s season 1 total to 22.
The move was foreshadowed last week when CBS requested six additional Mentalist scripts. Another winning ratings performance last night — the Simon Baker-led drama won its time slot with 15 million viewers — sealed the deal.
The Mentalist is the third new series to get a back-nine order — 90210 being the first and Fringe the second.
Mentalist fans, this is the part where you scroll down and congratulate everyone connected with the show on a job well done. And yes, that includes the person who brought you this news.

Congratulations Michael!!!
I’m so happy about this news!! I just love the show! And a big kiss to you Michael A.!!
YAY! If it won its time slot last night, that means it beat “Dancing with the Stars”. Now that’s incredible!
I love this show.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! Love love LOVE this show!!!
It’s just because he is so HOT!
Love the show! Good – I was disappointed when The Journeyman didn’t make it and was a little wary of getting hooked on another good show.
I haven’t watched the Mentalist, but aren’t there already two shows with ultra observant detectives (Monk, Psych). Why is this any different?
I love this show,it’s like Psych meets Monk. Simon Baker reminds me of a young Robert Redford.
at first I was annoyed because I’m a huge Psych fan and it looked like a rip-off. but simon baker is amazing and the show is very unique
I knew there wasn’t a chance of it getting canceled. (I’m praying for Worst Week, I love that show!) Didn’t think the full season would come so quickly, though. It’s a great show, so it wasn’t completely unexpected.
This makes me so happy. Not only do I loooove looking at simon baker for an hour, he truly cracks me up. I just love it!
You all should thank CBS for scheduling this after NCIS. It helped this show out tremendously.
That’s really good news, thanks Mike! This show is growing on me more and more. And I really hope you can bring some spoiler too!
This show is so good. I love Simon Baker and I adore Patrick Jane. I even convinced my sister-in-law and brother to watch.
Michael A – you are the best and the greatest and have just made me so happy with this news. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
Anywhere to watch this online. (yeah, legally, I mean)
YES!!!! This is just what I needed to hear…The Mentalist is my favorite new show this season, and Simon Baker is perfectly charming as Patrick Jane. I love the character, and I have to credit the writers as well for giving us many laughs along with the drama. This show is a keeper, and I am glad to hear that CBS agrees….13 million people can’t be wrong!
Thank you CBS and thank you cast, crew, anyone and everyone connected with this new show. Thank you also Michael. You kept me informed about the Gilmore Girls and now you must keep me all informed on The Mentalist. We’ve all been waiting for a vehicle for Simon Baker. I think Simon is amazing. He was great on The Guardian and absolutely awesome on Smith. This one, however, lets us see all facets of his abilities. He’s charming, gorgeous and sooooo sexy. Again, thanks CBS for giving me back my enjoyment of my Tuesday TV time.
This is awesome news! I’m so glad that I will be able to see more episodes . Congrats to the writers and producers of the show. Talented cast. CBS made a good choice ! Thanks for giving us the info Micheal.

Internet, online, prescriptions and pharmacy are terms I am going to coin in one phrase; Online Pharmacy no Prescription. This is a coined term to explain many factors of internet pharmacies and the ability to obtain secure no prescription medication. So, mixed up in this one phrase we have many concepts, like pharmacy, prescription and so on…but, how does the coined phrase “online pharmacy no prescription” really work?
