The Mentalist Season 5 Report Card: A
16 May 2013 11:55 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Ready to play school teacher?
As we struggle through the long summer hiatus and await the return of The Mentalist this fall, let's relive some of our favorite - and not so favorite moments - from The Mentalist season 5. Read on for our latest TV Fanatic Report Card and grade the CBS drama below...
Best Episode: The Mentalist gave us a really solid season so picking one favorite episode was pretty darn difficult. But in the end I've got to go with the season finale, "Red John Rules." Between floating the idea that Red John is psychic, to breaking into Jane's memory box, the finale was filled with twists and turns. When Red John used an already deceased Lorelei Martins to tell Jane he'd predicted who would be on the final list of seven suspects, even before Jane came up with them, that really got my attention. Knowing that the »

New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: CBS
15 May 2013 11:55 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fourth announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on CBS.
The king of the networks easily remains in charge despite "Elementary" being their only fresh hit of last season's new shows. The network's line-up remains fairly stable with only a few key moves such as Thursday being expanded to include two hours of comedy programming, and "Hawaii Five-0" moving to Fridays.
Several other pilots didn't make the cut this week including the series sequel to the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies, a TV version of the comedy "Bad Teacher", the "NCIS" mobile spin-off "NCIS: Red," a procedural based on Leif G.W. Persson's literary homicide detective Everett Backstrom, the Frank Marshall-produced political thriller "The Ordained" about a priest turned lawyer trying to save his sister from assassination, »

TV News: CBS Fall Schedule Includes New Nights For Big Hits, Five New Shows
15 May 2013 6:40 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – When you’re the #1 network on TV, it must be tempting to stay the course. However, CBS always shakes things up a bit and this year is no different. The 2013-14 schedule, announced this morning, features four new comedies (including a new comedy block in one of their most successful time slots) and one drama, along with new time slots for big hits “Person of Interest,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Hawaii Five-0.” The five new shows feature a stunning degree of star power with lead roles taken by Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Margo Martindale, Tony Shalhoub, Toni Collette, Will Arnett, Tate Donovan, Allison Janney, and more. It must be nice to be #1.
Full schedule below with new show descriptions under that. Come back for more news, reviews, and previews of the 2013-14 Fall schedule.

Spanish-Language Breaking Bad on the Way
14 May 2013 8:15 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Breaking Bad is following in the footsteps of Gossip Girl: Both will soon be broadcast en español. Sony Pictures Television announced yesterday that the Spanish-language Bb, rechristened Metastasis, will air on Univision's UniMas in the U.S. and will air throughout Latin America. The mostly Colombian cast includes Diego Trujillo as Walter Blanco; Roberto Urbina (who's had small parts on Grey's Anatomy and The Mentalist) as Jesse, now called Jose Miguel Rosas; and Sandra Reyes as Skyler, now called Cielo. Blanco means white, rosa means pink, and cielo means sky, so all of the naming conventions appear to be intact. ¡Bueno! »

Simon Baker Attends Santa Monica Museum of Art's Incognito Benefit
13 May 2013 12:35 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Simon Baker was readying himself Saturday night to use his powers of acute observation to try and solve the mystery. It wasn’t an episode of The Mentalist, the acclaimed TV show Baker stars in, but Incognito, the Santa Monica Museum of Art’s annual benefit show, in which artists anonymously donate works and patrons have to guess which artist they’re purchasing for the bargain basement price of $350 a pop. Baker described the sale as an “art orgy,” as he waited in the VIP room for what could easily be compared to a Black Friday sale’s stampede into a gallery

Drama Pilot ‘Advocates’ Gets A Pass From CBS, To Be Shopped Elsewhere
11 May 2013 7:20 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
I’ve learned that CBS has passed on high-profile drama pilot The Advocates. The project, written by The Mentalist creator Bruno Heller and directed by David Nutter, starred Mandy Moore and Ben McKenzie as a female lawyer and a male ex-con who team up as “victim advocates,” going to the very edge of the law to right wrongs and fight for the underdog. I hear Warner Bros. TV, which produces the project, will shop it elsewhere. Also being shopped at the moment is another CBS drama pilot that didn’t make the cut, Beverly Hills Cop. So far CBS has picked up two new drama series, Hostages, also from Warner Bros., and Intelligence, from ABC Studios/CBS TV Studios. »

Universal Channel UK Acquires Unique New Drama ‘Motive’
10 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
We’ve just received news that the Universal Channel has secured the UK premiere of the distinctive new crime drama, Motive, following a deal with NBCUniversal International Television Distribution.
Motive follows spirited female homicide detective, Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman), who matches wits with killers in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game. In an unconventional approach to crime story-telling, each episode begins by revealing not only the victim, but the killer as well. As the mystery unfolds – winding between revealing flashbacks and present time – viewers are drawn into the minds of the criminal and navigate the complicated maze of each case, solving the murder alongside Detective Angie Flynn and her team.
Due to launch in the Us on ABC later this month, Motive premiered on Canada’s CTV in February with 1.23 million viewers to become the number one Canadian series premiere of the 2012/13 broadcast year. James Newton, Channel Director, Universal Channel, said:

The Mentalist finale: Who is Red John?
As promised, The Mentalist's Season 5 finale found Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) narrowing down the list of people who could possibly be his serial killer nemesis Red John to just seven names. But in a final twist and display of power, Red John "changed the game" by predicting — in the form of a video message from the now-dead Lorelei Martins (Emmanuelle Chriqui) no less! — which seven names Jane was going to end with. He also shared this parting threat: "I'm going to start killing again, often. Until you catch me, or I catch you."

'Mentalist' creator teases season 6: Is the Red John list legit?
6 May 2013 11:44 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
The seven Red John suspects were revealed on Sunday night’s The Mentalist finale. Or were they? With Red John seemingly knowing everything that’s in Patrick Jane’s head — including his list — how much can we trust that the elusive serial killer is really among those seven names? And what can we expect from The Mentalist in season 6? Below, creator Bruno Heller answers our burning questions about the finale and beyond.
Entertainment Weekly: After all that craftiness on Patrick Jane’s part, Red John is still a step ahead of him. So can we really trust that the list »

'The Mentalist' season finale: And then there were seven
5 May 2013 8:28 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
In the beginning of the fifth season of The Mentalist, I somewhat jokingly wondered who Red John was. My picks were Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) himself, Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney), Lorelei Martins (Emmanuelle Chriqui), or someone else. Well, it turns out I’m right. It’s someone else. Spoilers to follow.
Earlier this season before her demise at the hands of Red John, Lorelei told Jane that he had shaken hands with the serial killer. Through some miraculous process of elimination, Jane whittled it down to seven possible suspects. At the end of the finale, those names are revealed. (When »

'The Mentalist' season finale: 4 things to watch for in 'Red John's Rules'
5 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The season finale of "The Mentalist" promises to reveal a list of seven suspects Jane believes could be Red John.
And you'll read nothing about who they are right now, other than the show isn't teasing: Sunday's (May 5) finale does name names. You can see the suspect pool here, but to say anything more would seriously spoil the fun.
Here are a few things we can tell you about "Red John's Rules," though:
An old friend returns. M.C. Gainey (Tom Friendly from "Lost"), last seen here back in Season 3, is back as Jane's (Simon Baker) carny friend Pete. Jane and Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) latest case takes Jane back to his old stomping grounds, and Pete may have some information for him.
Stop teasing. Jane reveals to Lisbon that he's narrowed his list down to seven people, but to her great frustration he refuses to say anything else. His impression of »

This Sunday at 10/9c, CBS’ The Mentalist will at long last solve a mystery — one not involving Red John so much as… a beige-ish plastic bowl.
That’s right: We are about to find out what J.J. Laroche is hiding in that Tupperware container.

'Hannibal' after Boston: What happens when TV networks try to be 'sensitive' to tragic events
25 April 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Tonight’s episode of Hannibal dramatizes a timely theme: Our response – and responsibility – to human suffering, natural or unnatural. Caution: Spoilers ahead. “Coquilles” introduces us to two people who’ve been diagnosed with terminal cancer. They choose to cope with their illness in different ways, neither way healthy. One character keeps it a secret from her husband because she’s doesn’t want to burden him, creating more dissonance in an already strained marriage. Another character, made monstrous by his disease (and perhaps other manipulative influences), forces his burden onto others in a bizarre, brutal way, with a convoluted justification »

So Dexter is about to meet his final fate and Family Guy spinoff The Cleveland Show has (apparently) been axed and - with the Us networks due to announce their 2013-14 schedules next month - it won't be long before other shows are joining those two on the scrapheap...
That got us to thinking - which shows have had their day in the sun and need to be put out to pasture? Join us now for what will likely be a divisive and much-debated Friday Fiver!
