Have you seen the ads for the new CBS show The Mentalist starring Simon Baker? It looks to be a rip-off of Psych! Granted, it is a more "High Class" show, but a rip-off all the same!

yea, we already have a thread going about it.....and i'm not happy about it...

new cbs show, who's ready to rant with me?

How is this show a rip-off of Psych? Is the main character a fake psych too? I have satellite, no local channels for me, so I will not be able to check this show out.

Why yes, the main character (who does seem to dress better than Shawn) is a fake psychic also. You are lucky that you only have satellite and don't have to watch lame rip-offs.

Well, at least we have Psych. I am sure Mentalist will not be the only show that's similar to Psych.

I like your boxing cat. It's cute!

I have not seen nor heard about it until reading about it here. My take is that most of the time there is always a "ripoff" created from a good thing and the better wins out. So I am not worried.

I am not happy about it either, but it will definately not be better than Psych. Maybe if people hear about it on CBS they could watch psych, but I don't like the ripoff idea all together. One more thing to the Shawn wardrobe comment: It's a physical impossibility to dress better than Shawn

Thank you! He is training for the new CKA (Cats Kicking Ass) fighting series on paw-per-mew. You may have seen him on the Discovery Channel's Show "DEADLIEST CATS"

Well, for Santa Barbara, Shawn's wardrobe is a little weak. However, for Canada, where the show is actually filmed, his wardrope ROCKS! The Mentalist is filmed in New York, so you know the wardrope is high dollar!
