I’m very happy to see that my favorite show of the season thus far, “The Mentalist” is getting a full season pick up from CBS.

We won’t be getting a new episode this week because of the Vice Presidential debates, but the story of Patrick Jane will continue next week in its regular time slot.

The show is currently averaging 15.4 million viewers per episode…which is pretty astounding when you consider that its a first season show, and that there are as many as 22 other police procedural shows on television right now.
