The Mentalist: Why This Show Should Be Voted CBS's Number One Drama

I am an avid fan of the popular CBS drama The Mentalist, and one thing that I'd like to know is where they find all these good looking male actors? Simon Baker, who plays the main character Patrick Jane, is absolutely gorgeous. His hair, his smile, and even his physique are awesome. Even if the show were subpar yet starred Simon Baker, I'd still be a loyal viewer just to get the opportunity to look at him. Well, maybe not, but I still think he's hot. Not only is Simon Baker gorgeous, but he's appealing in many other ways as well, including his ability to solve murders in quite a unique manner. Patrick Jane isn't your average detective, as his mental abilities give him advantages that other detectives don't have. Advantages that many other detective only wish they had. Detective Lisbon is quite lucky to have Patrick as a partner because he is able to use his gift to gather important clues in each and every case. Without these important clues, many of the cases probably would never be solved.

There are other television dramas that have psychics as main characters, but Simon Baker doesn't play a psychic, per se. Although Patrick Jane isn't exactly a psychic, he isn't a fake either because he has real abilities. He's more what can be referred to as highly intuitive and mentally gifted, and can expertly read the minds of suspects in order to help him solve crimes. The show is very action-filled, suspenseful and exciting as well, and although Patrick gathers clues crucial to solving the various cases pretty early-on in the show, the killer of course isn't revealed until the end, which is expected. It's just a reason to keep viewers absolutely hooked the entire hour-and it works, too.

The Mentalist should be voted the #1 primetime show on CBS because creators of this show were absolutely geniuses. Patrick is many things: handsome, quirky, bubbly, a mentally gifted detective, and single. His beautiful partner and the supporting characters are superb as well and only make the show even more interesting, if at all possible. They all work beautifully together to create a very popular hit primetime show that has over 16 million viewers each week. I know I'm a loyal viewer, but if you aren't, you may want to check out an episode to see what you are missing. Maybe you'll become an addict like me and the 16 million other viewers.
