The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a show on CBS that is probably one of my favorites. We mostly just watch it when the full season DVDs come out, because it's too popular to just put online and we don't get T.V. Anyway, the show is about the titular mentalist Patrick Jane, a consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation, (Yes, the entire show, with the exception of a short trip to the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, takes place in California, although most of the places are made up.) which needs to "Work on brand recognition a bit." Jane tends towards being out of line, uncontrolled, and insult rich people who don't like being insulted, but also "closes cases like a fiend", causing him to be unable to be fired. After getting a new boss, she outright told him that the only way he will get kicked off the job is if he kills someone - anything else and he will be fine. It's an interesting show, and one that I highly recommend watching. Seasons 1 and 2 are both available on DVD, and season 3 is currently on air.
