30 day TV meme - Day 3

Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)

Well, I don't have one. Not one that premiered this season. However, I do have one that premiered two seasons ago that I really like.

The Mentalist.

It's a bit cheesy - c'mon, California Bureau of Investigation? (Love what the deadpan cop, Cho, says about it: "Like the FBI, but local." (or something like that; I don't have the exact quote.) It's witty, and funny in spots, terribly clever in others. The main character, Patrick Jane, is loveable, annoying yet vulnerable, and extremely sure of himself.  Simon Baker (the actor) steals every scene he's in. Cho is hilarious. He's trying to do Joe Friday, but he gets the best one liners. I like all the characters. It's not quite as ensemble as NCIS, especially in the first season, but it's getting better as the cast gets a better feel for working with each other. It's a show that my husband would watch, if it wasn't on at 10 p.m.
