apart from FOX's Dollhouse and Virtuality - this little gem of a cast has me most excited!!! The Guardian's fab Simon Baker and Prison Break's biggest star Robin Tunney. also, glad to see Owain Yeoman as a regular in a more deserving role than his stint on Terminator: TSCC. but I'm a bit dissapointed that amongs these stars we find Amanda Righetti - was never a fan;

I like Simon Baker, but doesn't the plot sound exactly like "Psych" on USA without the laughs? Or am I the only one?

llewow, you're not the only one. When I read the description, my first reaction was "Gee. That doesn't sound like Psych at all."

The Ex List sounds horrible and boring. This is what we have to replace the canceled Moonlight? Idiots!!!!!!

Is this a remake of the series with Patrick Stewart?

How is "The Mentalist" anything other than a (more than likely seriously inferior) "Psych" rip-off?

As it says in the blurb, yes. It's based -- rather heavily for at least the pilot -- on the Stewart miniseries...

"The Mentalist" reminds me of something Tina Fey said at an awards banquet when "30 Rock" and "Studio 60" were on at the same time: "Aaron Sorkin was planning to wear this same dress here tonight, only twice as long and not funny." Two shows, same premise, one entertaining, one condescending, one renewed, one not. Any questions?

Spoken by a man who hasn't seen The Mentalist! You must be a faux psychic, too!

Extremely disappointed and angry not to see Moonlight on CBS' fall schedule. It was well done with a good looking and talented cast. Moonlight's replacement, The Ex-List, sounds like a second rate television show that I wouldn't waste 10 seconds on.

None of these shows sounded interesting to me at all. Even if I wasn't holding a grudge against CBS for cancelling Moonlight, I would probably not watch any of these new shows. I only watched 3 shows on CBS this past season: Moonlight, Amazing Race, and Survivor. B/C of my unhappiness with the cancelling of Moonlight, I might just give up all those shows b/c I'll just think about Moonlight and get depressed everytime I turn to CBS.

Is Marley Shelton even still on the show? Her name wasn't on the press release.

When Eric Balfour is the best thing about your show that's not a good sign. Unless maybe you're Dan Feinberg.

Ha! Nice one, Mike. I wish I could argue. All I can say about Balfour in the trailer for "Ex List" is that he's playing a self-absorbed ass. And it may just be the part he was born to play...

As for the Marley Shelton issue, I had the exact same question and asked several CBS people point-blank if she's being recast. I was told no. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I *did* ask...

This is what they've chosen to replace Moonlight? Serioiusly?

I doubt this show lasts half as long as Moonlight did.

Definitly a Psych homage/rip off.
