(i saw "worst week" for the first time last night, not an interest, but... done...) so if we are watching "the mentalist" does that mean we are not watching "fringe?" |

The Mentalist is actually one of the only new shows doing well.
The premiere drew 15.6 million, and the re-airing of the premiere drew another 7.8 million. |

The Truth Hurts wrote: right. but see the trick here is this week's numbers (ep 2.) the numbers must rise (goodness) or fall only slightly (only semi-awfulness) to continue as a show. and this is cbs. the quickest axe in television. i want this show to go on. it has infinite potential and a cast i like. how could the numbers not go up? let's look at the numbers tomorrow and talk... |

so if we are watching "the mentalist" does that mean we are not watching "fringe?"No. It means I watch TM on Tuesday night and Fringe on the Fox website later. I like both shows. |

I'm not Felicia OG but id like to throw my two cents in. If you had asked if Fringe was worth the effort after the pilot I might have said no. But after
the last two <especially last night which really was excellent> I will enthusiastically say absolutely yes it is worth the effort.

I liked the episode. This show is like a mixture of HOUSE and NBC's LIFE.

The overnights just came out, and with a 9.7/15 rating - that's 15 million viewers - it looks like The Mentalist retained its audience from last week. Holding steady is good. I think. |

They need to keep it after NCIS though. Use your established shows to generate an audience for the new stuff before moving it around to fight other network
hits.

Maybe I'm weird. Ok, I know I am. But I like him when he's not smiling better than when he is. I know it's part of his character to have this
charming smile and oh hell I know he's gonna be smiling a lot and that's cool. What I'm fuckinguply trying to say is I think he's more
physically attractive when he's serious, not sad or upset, just serious - like when he was talking to the victim's little brother.
I do watch House from time to time. My daughter gets the season DVDs but I have yet to sit down and start watching from the beginning. Where are the House comparisons coming from? How are these shows similar to you? Just curious. |

Aw hell. The second I watched the rock paper scissors scene with the sheriff I knew I was a goner. I'm officially hooked on this show. He has such a
gleeful arrogance and then bam the thing with the kid and the hatchet happens. Knew the other red head at the restaurant was next, but I wasn't expecting
it to play out with him trapped in the motel room with the psycho couple. Why did he keep saying "fake!" over and over? This show is weird and I
love it. Shit I just know that this is going to get canceled since I really like it. Horatio Cane WISHES he could have one liners like this guy. "Your
denial that it did intrigues me." "Bite me".
Oh and OG? Stinky and Felicia are right. Fringe kicks ass too. |

It's doing pretty good so far. Should hold up if they keep it on after NCIS for the rest of the season. |
