Shows like Greys and Housewifes are ‘next day water cooler shows”. By that I mean that they draw first run and next morning enthusiasm among their fans. The fans simply have to know who went to bed with whom right away. Once it has happened, and (next morning) enthusiastically discussed, there is a drastic reduction in interest in seeing it all again.
Shows like CSI, House, Mentalist, etc are not dependent upon the voyeuristic angle and score much higher in the repeat veiwings. Particularly after some amount of time has passed.

The Grey’s Anatomy repeats are up 1 million!

So, does that mean we’ll get The Mentalist: Miami and The Mentalist: New York?

CBS is grooming The Mentalist to be their next flagship show now that CSI is already aging same with The Big Bang Theory which I really hope could break 10+ millions every week and slowly match the numbers of Two and a Half Men

It’s hard for me to see CSI not be on at 9:00, but then again, The Mentalist is (more than likely) going to be significantly ahead of it in the 18-49 demo, so I guess it could happen. It’s just that CSI has been in the 9:00pm slot since it’s second (or maybe near the end of its first) season.

I wonder how long it is before CSI switches to 10pm with The Mentalist at 9pm TPTB and CBS are probably hoping that the changes being made for this season will help regain lost ground but IMO I think this will be the last season at 9pm for CSI.

I wouldn’t be surprised if The Mentalist ends up being CBS’ post Superbowl show although I think NCIS:LA, BBT and HIYM have a shot as well.

well i’m not a fan of The mentalist, i tried to watch it but it didnt really get me, sry i hope Private Practise can make a decent rating against the mentalist. Crime vs Hospital rule on Thursday Grey’s Anatomy vs CSI on 9/8c and Private Practice vs The Mentalist on 10/9c wow

I’m rooting for Mentalist, too. Assuming( which i shouldn’t since i don’t recall) the fall schedule is the same as the summer’s, I would love to see that crytofascist long in the tooth hoary old dud law and Order and PP both carved into slices by Mentalist.

Thanks Seidman, found ‘em at NBC. I’m just curious why Phx market didn’t get the last one. Pisses me off

In the demo? I don’t think so. Grey’s Anatomy, Housewives, House, Two and a Half Men and Big Bang will beat The Mentalist in the demo.

TeMerc, you can find the final episodes of The Listener on Hulu or NBC.com — the unaired episodes are available there.

I hope THE MENTALIST could break the 20 million viewers mark next season. 30 Rock seems to be doing well on repeats, if Park and Recreations was not sandwiched between 30 Rock and The Office it would probably get low ratings

What happened to The Listener @ NBC? I got a rerun of L&O last nite in Phoenix, otheres got an episode? WTF??

Bad enough they canceled it, then not show last one in our market??

The Mentalist will probably be the top scripted show in viewers and demo. It will probably be behind AI and DWTS.

I’m surprised Dance is so low on the next to last week of the season.

Yeah, I really don’t think Mentalist will take down the Idol.

In viewers? maybe but in the demo, I don’t think so. Not even close.

I know it’s a repeat but I’ve never seen CSI so low.

The Mentalist is probably gonna be the most watched show next year.

sGabe, I did mean 3rd. Fixed!

Adam, it’s not too surprising to me anymore. It has been the case for seemingly the whole time we’ve done the site that the CBS procedurals have always repeated well, and very well relative to ABC dramas like Grey’s and Desperate Housewives.

Really really surprised by the margin between CSI and Grey’s Anatomy. During their new episodes, they are usually much closer.

“second most-watched with the 18-49 set”
you mean 3rd
BigBrother was second overall

Very good for The Mentalist
