Sixty years old and "The Mentalist" makes my all-time top- ten favorite shows. Not in any special order, Northern Exposure, All in the Family, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ed Sullivan, The Brotherhood of Poland New Hampshire(I literally cried when CBS suc!$#!#bed to political correctness), Ed, Sisters, The Young and the Restless, and the brilliantly written and superb understated acting of The Mentalist. I guess you might be correct-I need a life!
