After Bosco arrests Jane and puts him in prison for spying on him and his unit as they try to investigate the Red John case, he manages to help Lisbon and the CBI team solve the murder of a young man, even from behind bars. Jane's overstepping of the law lands him in prison, but doesn't crimp his style one bit.

Patrick Jane should have a good feel about this: CBS' sophomore drama "The Mentalist" has netted a rich off-network syndication deal with TNT.
TV studios should feel good too. The off-network syndication market is heating up again, with two young dramas, "Mentalist" and another CBS procedural, "NCIS: Los Angeles," on Thursday selling for more than $2 million an episode after healthy bidding.
According to the pact between TNT and Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution, "Mentalist" will begin running weekly on the cable network in fall 2011, followed by a full-blown launch in 2012.
Neither side would discuss the financials of the deal, but the Simon Baker starrer is said to have fetched from $2.2 million-$2.3 million an episode.
"The demand for the off-network rights (to 'Mentalist') began almost immediately following its debut on CBS last fall and has steadily increased as the show blossomed into a true broadcast hit," WBDTD president Ken Werner said.
"Mentalist" launched as the top new series of the 2008-09 season and has been a solid ratings performer this fall in its new 10 p.m. Thursday slot.
"The early success of the series indicates 'The Mentalist' has a great future," Turner Entertainment Networks president Steve Koonin said.
The economic downturn and a glut of procedurals have pushed down off-network prices from the heights of late 2004, when Spike TV shelled out a record $1.9 million an episode for CBS' "CSI: NY." That was followed by the USA Network/Bravo pact for "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" for nearly $2 million an episode and the current record-holder, A&E's deal for "The Sopranos," valued at $2.5 million an episode.
Although "Mentalist" and "NCIS: LA," whose sale prices are said to be in the same range, couldn't match the New Jersey mobsters' loot, they still posted a record for a broadcast series' off-network sale.
By comparison, another solidly performing CBS procedural, "Criminal Minds," was sold to A&E and Ion last year for a combined license fee of about $850,000 an episode.
On TNT, a corporate sibling of the show's producer Warner Bros. TV, "Mentalist" will join a slate of off-network procedurals that includes "Law & Order," "Bones" and fellow CBS series "Without a Trace," "Cold Case" and "Numbers."
Created by Bruno Heller, "Mentalist" stars Baker as an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation who solves crimes using razor-sharp observation skills.
With its light tone and quirky central character, "Mentalist" had been considered a good fit for USA, which is said to have been interested but ultimately went aggressively after "NCIS: LA" to complete its "NCIS" off-network franchise. "Mentalist" also might have been considered too similar to USA's original series "Psych."
TNT has been an active buyer lately, also acquiring the WBTV-produced cop drama "Southland" after it was canceled by NBC.

Question: You’re not allowed to say someone is dying in the Nov. 19 episode of The Mentalist and then leave it at that. It’s unethical! Just a little hint? Pretty please with a Smurf on top? —Ally
Ausiello: Did I say someone dies? My bad. Several people die.
His mention of several, leads me to believe that more than two people will bite the dust. Several does imply more than two right?

Thanks T for the news.
The Mentalist’s arch enemy, Red John, who brutally butchered Patrick Jane’s wife and child, makes his next terrorizing appearance on the CBS hit’s November 19 episode, titled, His Red Right Hand. “It begins with a recently murdered body found in a cemetery, and then takes some twists and turns involving Red John,” says the episode’s writer, coexecutive producer Ashley Gable. “It is clear they are dealing with something much darker. And our [main cast] will be in jeopardy.”
Expect a reappearance of the mystery murderer’s signature red smiley face. And as for the episode’s cryptic title, Gable explains it was pulled from a 1994 song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. (Every Mentalist episode includes some reference to the color red.) “It’s a really creepy song,” says the writer. With lyrics such as “you know you’re never ever coming back” and “you’ll see him in your nightmares,” Gable says, “The lyrics could easily be about Red John.”
Oh really? In last year’s season finale, a blind woman named Rosalyn described the physical attributes of the serial killer (under 6 ft. tall, straight hair, gentle voice and rough hands) after she supposedly made love to him. But there are many theories on John’s identity. Series star Simon Baker tells me, “He might be a she.” To that, Gable shrugs, “Ah, no. Simon’s a minx. He was just having fun with you. But we’re never sure of anything in this world.”
So will we learn his or her identity during the November 19 episode? “I can tell you for sure we will not,” says Gable. “The answer is locked in the brain of [show creator] Mr. Bruno Heller, the keeper of the secret. Talk to me in Season 7.”

The Mentalist
Thusdays,10/9c,CBS
It’s slammer time when Jane(Simon Baker)is thrown behind bars in the November 5 episode after it’s discovered he planted a bugging device in the office of foe Sam Bosco(Terry Kinney). But it won’t stop him from busting the bad guys. “Jane gets so bored in jail he solves the murder of a young man who was killed in a family oil feud,” says creator Bruno Heller. Then, on November 12, Jane blasts to the past after getting hit in the head while working on a case at a baseball stadium. “We have a series of flashbacks showing how Jane was raised as this psychic boy wonder in the morally ambiguous world of traveling carnies. It’s like a Gypsy Rose Lee scenario,” Heller says. Later in the month, just aa Jane and Co. are investigating a dead body that’s been hidden for two years under the floorboards of a house, Bosco shows up at the same house looking for a woman who’s been kidnapped. The two are then forced to team up. Says Heller: “Cue the fireworks.”
This November, expect “some very interesting insight into Jane’s Character,” says Heller.

So, let’s get this straight for a second: Patrick Jane is going to be solving a murder that takes place in a “haunted house?” And we get to watch? Now that sounds like a fun hour of television. Especially when Jane starts it off by baiting the small town deputy where the murder took place. Deputy Fischer then explains that the house is supposedly haunted by a long dead former occupant, a Mr. Walter Beckworth, who died in 1926. Chilling stuff, right?
A suspect arises in the form of Victoria Abner (played by Frances Fisher!), who wanted the house that the victim, an architect named Foster, had just purchased. Cho interviews her and her lawyer nephew, but she doesn’t seem the violent type. But while Lisbon doesn’t want Cho asking her about the so-called ghost in the house, Jane pushes him on it, and Cho caves. “Of course,” Victoria answers. Jane finds a book dealer in town who knows all about Beckworth and the house, and the book dealer mentions something about a hidden treasure in the house, which Victoria dismisses, though perhaps a tad too quickly.
Soon after, Jane shows Van Pelt and Rigsby how the house was rigged for haunting (lots of lights and switches, all very cool stuff), as well as the fact that Beckworth built the place full of hidden passages to hide his bootlegging operation. As they’re all looking for the secret entry into the house, Rigsby admits to Van Pelt that he’s in love with her. He’s about to kiss her when Jane interrupts them.
As things move along, it’s decided that there really is a treasure, and that’s the motive for the killing. Jane quickly finds the “treasure,” which turns out to be a fake planted by Jane and Lisbon to flush out the lawyer nephew, who admits to killing Foster. And that’s the end. Oh, except for when Van Pelt kisses Rigsby and tells him to meet her at her car after dinner with the others. Wait, what?
What did you think? Nice little ghost story murder mystery, huh? And how about those two scenes between Jane and the widow, when she asks him what he could know about loss? And then the follow-up at the end? Powerful, huh?
Jane and the CBI encounter a ghost and a haunted mansion when they investigate the mysterious death of a wealthy man who witnesses say was murdered by a ghost haunting his mansion.

What a bad week. My gallery is dead. My videos are gone. They both deleted my account. I need to get a new place to build them. I’ll set them up as soon as possible.
