PM, ET/8:00-9:00 PM, PT*). On Jan. 2, it will move to its regular Friday
(8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period.
“One of the goals this season was to keep expanding our lineup of
year-round, original programming and have fewer repeat cycles,” said
Kelly Kahl, Senior Executive Vice President, CBS Primetime. “We’re
fortunate to have two popular, proven ratings winners in THE MENTALIST
and UNDERCOVER BOSS to seamlessly join our schedule.”

The Mentalist Nemesis "Red John"
Takes Spotlight In All-Day Marathon Monday, Oct.
22, on TNT To understand the driving force behind Patrick
Jane, the title character in the hit drama The
Mentalist, one need look no further than the
brutal murderer who has plagued his nightmares
since the series' first episode. On Monday, Oct.
22, TNT is going to take viewers on a journey
through those nightmares with The Mentalist: The
Hunt for Red John, an all-day marathon of
episodes centering on the serial killer whose
long line of victims includes Jane's own family. "Our marathon of Red John episodes of The
Mentalist provides fans with a great opportunity
to see the story arc as it has played out over
four seasons," said Phil Oppenheim, senior vice
president of programming for TNT and TBS. "The
Hunt for Red John marathon also gives viewers
unfamiliar with The Mentalist the chance to get
in on the show from the very beginning." TNT's marathon will begin with the pilot episode
of The Mentalist, which introduces viewers to
Patrick Jane (series star Simon Baker), a
onetime fake psychic who gave up his television
career to work with the California Bureau of
Investigation in solving complex cases. As
revealed in the episode, Jane's decision to
leave behind a life of luxury in order to work
for law enforcement is prompted by the murder of
his wife and daughter at the hands of Red John. As viewers learn, Red John has been responsible
for nearly 30 murders since the late 1980s. As
Jane describes him in the pilot episode, "Red
John thinks of himself as a showman, an artist.
He has a strong sense of theatre." Referring to Red John's habit of painting a
smiley face on the wall using his victim's
blood, Jane says, "The first thing that anyone
sees is the face on the wall. You see the face
first, and you know. You know what's happened,
and you feel dread. Then and only then do you
see the body of the victim. Always in that
order." In addition to the pilot episode, TNT's The
Mentalist: The Hunt for Red John marathon
features the gripping season finales for each of
the first four seasons, including the memorable
two-part "Strawberries and Cream" season 3
finale, in which Jane finally meets Red John
face-to-face. TNT's The Mentalist: The Hunt for Red John

Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant
with the California Bureau of Investigation
(CBI). Jane has a remarkable track record for
solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp
skills of observation. Within the Bureau, he is
notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and
his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium,
whose paranormal abilities he now admits he
feigned. Jane's role in cracking a series of tough,
high-profile cases is greatly valued by his
fellow agents; however, no-nonsense Senior Agent
Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) alternates between
reluctantly acknowledging Jane's usefulness and
blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and
dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team
includes agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang), Wayne
Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) and Grace Van Pelt (Amanda
Righetti), who all think Jane's a loose cannon
but admire his charm and knack for clearing
cases. The Mentalist was created by Bruno Heller and is
produced by Primrose Hill Productions, in
association with Warner Bros. Television. Heller
and David Nutter serve as executive producers. About TNT
