Vanity: what is it with the Mentalist?

Posted on 04/20/2014 7:21:23 PM PDT by discipler

What is it with the Mentalist show two weeks in a row targeting Texas? Anyone else notice this? Last week it was the death penalty and this week it's an all male country club, also sprinkling in lesbianism. CBS

No. Not really. Could still come back I guess. One of the reasons I hate the show.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s like Law & Order Criminal Intent where 90% of the perps are white males and the other 10% are white females.

The only time I saw someone that was black accused (Whoopie Goldberg), she, in the end, outsmarted the white man and we never saw what happened unless there was a sequel.

Not that they aren’t biased or anything.

I think it's getting cancelled anyway, so don't worry about it.

I started watching one episode when it had about five minutes left. The Mentalist was accusing some slight female of being guilty of whatever crimes were committed during that episode. The slight woman knocked him down and then started kicking him as the uh hero, despite looking considerably bigger and stronger than the woman, folded into a fetal position on the floor. That was the last time I watched any part of that show.

Bobby Goren was an outstanding character, but the show's very success caused the backstory to get more and more unbelievable as the writers had to come up with new episodes, i.e., Bobby's real father being a serial killer, Bobby's mentor being a murderer, Bobby's mentor's daughter being a murderer, etc.

That happens with successful shows. X-Files another example.

NCIS dropping some of the same stuff. Hollywood is an ARM of the White House agenda. Can’t wait to see how they come out in support of the Xmen Director is the pedophile accusations are true.

I attempted to watch one episode of the Mentalist. The acting was so bad, and ALL the actors were way too “pretty”...just couldn’t stomach it. Little “real life” about it at all.

I’m watching the end of Mad Men - in which there isn’t one likable character. But I watch anyway. Really unhappy that Psyche is over!!!! I LOVED that show.

Other than that Midsomer Murders on Netflix is a welcome relief from the usual crap.

Imagine the progress we could make if we had the tools of the left.

As soon as I see/hear that blatant lefty bias I turn off the show and never return. Have done that a few times. Feels good!

The 115 lb woman (usually Scarlet Johansson) taking out the 250# 6-5 guy is a Hollywood staple.

Was necessary to advance the leftist cause of women in combat, but otherwise has no reason for how ridiculous it looks.

Good show. Not to worry....you have about 3 episodes left and then it is cancelled. It won’t see a 7th season. Six season is pretty good though now a days.

Mad Men was slow this week,previews for next week look much more interesting. I’ve been doing marathon sessions of Foyle’s War on Netflix. Just finished a marathon session of Dexter. There’s some great TV out there.

CBS. You just answered your own question.

CBS is the one network I watch most. Best shows around. Tell me what show is even partially as family oriented as Blue Bloods.....I HATE when people bash CBS but let NBC which is a trash network get away with murder......you guys have a biased against wholesome shows.....the only network that gives Blue Bloods, Elementary, NCIS, NCIS LA, Survivor, Amazing Race, Hawaii 5-0. I never understand the hatred for all the Family shows on CBS. Bash ABC if you must, but leave CBS alone.

Why is anyone, especially a FReeper surprised that Hollyweird is pushing a leftist agenda??
