Every time I DVR the Mentalist I get 17 minutes of the Good Wife and never see the end of the Mentalist…What’s up with that???? I have tried to tape it later but it still happens. Did NOT get to see the ending of episode 6 Fire and Brimstone and wonder now how I can see it….

The correct episode was available on line (if you know where to look) way before the airing of the re-run. Already watched it, there a cool if unwarranted scene of Syles pouring what appears to syrup over a naked girl.

A monkey could figure out that CBS has too many shows crammed in after the football game, and that the football games need a 1/2 hour more time for the scheduling. Take out one 60 minute show out of the time slots, have a filler type program that can be played or not played depending on the game, and get your heads out of your ass!

I couldn’t care less about football, and this is just another reason why it sucks. CBS is worried about ratings, but they go and stick the Mentalist in the worst time slot ever. Way to go, boneheads. Who watches a show live anymore anyway? I set my DVR to record for 2 hours after the show because I just assume it’ll be delayed.

In reply to jo. Interesting. I like The Good Wife. In fact, I think it's a better show than The Mentalist in terms of acting and writing. Still, after recording both shows, I usually want to watch The Mentalist first... I never thought about it before, but The Mentalist feels like a guilty pleasure and is just more fun to watch. The Mentalist should definitely be aired before The Good Wife, IMO. Unfortunately, since the network system is so broken, TGW would loose ratings opposite the other "intelligent" shows that all go on at 10pm on Sunday night and might not survive.

I purposely have this show set to record two additional hours beyond 11pm because it is ALWAYS starting late. Mentalist continually starts 30+ minutes late and you decided to NOT air it tonight because it was starting late? Stupid. Grats for being idiots CBS. I guess the guy in charge on Sundays isn’t a very smart individual. Common sense says let it roll. Those who miss it can watch it on the internet. Most people have this show set to record anyway. Ignorance….

Fan of both BUT the NFL clearly takes precedence, especially when it’s New England.

The one thing I was looking forward to all week was this episode. The rerun airing was upsetting, but including the promo for the NEXT episode (spoiling everything that happened in the missed episode) crossed the line. Come on CBS, get your act together!

I myself am happy with that decision…I have to get up early for work and was unable to stay up and watch and now I didn’t miss anything…..although I am fed up with football and think that CBS should move The Mentalist to another day….

I despise The Goat Wife…yet I always have to watch the tail end to see the beginning of The Mentalist. To see that it was a re-run ticked me off. TV Guide and Verizon online guide both said the new episode would be on…just sux.
