The Mentalist will be casting a new regular character to the CBI team. The new character's name is Agent Beth Scott and will begin sometime in early 2010. She is a 40-something, African American Woman coming from the California Bureau of Investigations headquarters. Agent Beth Scott will be on-air for the rest of Season 2 and possibly longer. Now, is this just an addition to the cast, or is someone leaving? No rumors yet on anyone leaving but....who knows, anything can happen on television!

'Mentalist' Needs More Thought
9/23/09
Source: Ohio.com
The Mentalist was a bright spot for CBS in its first season, and the network is hoping for more big things in the second. It has moved the show to 10 p.m. Thursdays to create a major crime-busting bloc of The Mentalist and, leading into it, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The MentalistAnd, with its second season starting Thursday, The Mentalist: The Complete First Season (Warner Home Video, 23 episodes, six discs, $59.98) arrives on DVD two days earlier. In addition to some entertaining extras, the set illustrates both the show's virtues and its flaws. The Mentalist stars Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, a man whose observational skills suggest some psychic power — and make him useful to police investigations. But Jane is also damaged — by the death of his wife and child and his fixation on finding Red John, the serial killer responsible. He can be brutally direct in dealing with people who evade and lie. (The series and Fox's Lie to Me, whose first season is also on DVD, are more than a little similar.) And, as the first season ended, whatever success Jane had was diminished by his unfinished quest for Red John. The show has a compelling personality in Jane, well performed by Baker, an actor who's not afraid to be unlikable. The rest of the cast — which includes Robin Tunney and Tim Kang — also knows what it's doing. And the show has some very cool moments, such as the way the first-season finale used a skywriter to demonstrate Red John's presence. On the other hand, the plotting and direction are at times less sure-handed. Again, in that first-season finish, one character chomped his gum so hard that he marked himself as suspicious to viewers long before the people in the show caught on. The Mentalist is OK entertainment but not yet great. As for the DVD, there's a funny blooper reel (marked as ''surveillance video''), a good making-of segment and an even better piece called Cracking the Crystal Ball: Mentalist vs. Psychic. It looks at some of the people doing in real life the same things as the show's fictional folks.

Mentalist Summons Oz Star

7/9/09
Source: EW.com

Mentalist-casting_lPatrick Jane should have a field day reading this guy: Former Oz actor Terry Kinney is joining The Mentalist as an ex of Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) and a major player in the Red John investigation, sources confirm to me semi-exclusively. Kinney, who most recently starred in ABC's short-lived cop dramedy The Unusuals, will play the recurring role of Sam Bosco, a by-the-book California Bureau of Investigations agent who heads up the division overseeing the Red John case. Bosco served as Lisbon's mentor as she was coming up through the ranks, during which they shtupped once or twice (or a lot). Further complicating matters: The two share a deep, dark secret! Bosco is also one of the few people immune to P.J.'s charms. He hates his unorthodox methods and is determined to oust him from the CBI. Good times all around!Kinney's deal calls for him to appear in at least seven episodes.The Mentalist kicks off its second season (its first in its new Thursday time slot) on Sept. 24.

I am glad they are running the season again, as it is on too late for me to catch the first time. What a shame they put NCIS Los Angeles on instead. Would rather see it switched!
