Unlike the cranky, cantankerous and condescending character House, this Lightman person has no redeeming characteristics. And his supporting cast is also not so appealing. But I love the premise, which is the only the only thing that keeps me watching...but may not work for much longer. I must agree with the 1st poster…I can’t stand the lead character.

After CSI, NCIS, MONK and others I was hoping that something would evolve. I understand that MENTALIST and CASTLE will get better ratings, they are well made and easier to handle, not bad but, mainly because of the storylines, not satisfying enough (comparing to the best crime shows like HILL STREET and THE WIRE). All three have their place, but only LTM has the potential to be more. To me in these crime-entertainment times LIE TO ME is the only one.

The cast is great, the characters are all interesting, and the storyline is cool. I don't think that Lie To Me gets good ratings only because it is on after American Idol (or, it used to be. now it's before Idol). I enjoy the show a lot and it is definitely one of my new favorites. Castle is also interesting. I don't like murder/mystery shows at all, I think they are annoying and repetitive. But Castle is a new twist on the same old thing. There's only been one episode so far, but I think it has some serious potential. As for The Mentalist, it's also a very good show. I don't know what's been going on lately but there's been tons of awesome new shows and I love it. Lie To Me, Castle, and The Mentalist are all awesome. :D Lie To Me is probably one of the best shows I’ve seen in awhile.

Mentalist runs after NCIS, not exactly a haven for youth. In spite of endless hype about how hip and cool these shows were supposed to be, and derision from some of those who work on Lie to Me about how the Mentalist was a "lie", LtM is losing more and more viewers in spite of the cushy treatment. If LtM was a hit in the only way that mattered, it wouldn't have to cling to Idol. “Calling The Mentalist the only true hit of the season is a bit harsh… both Lie to Me and Fringe perform better among adults 18-49″

Plus, I think we could agree that critical reception to Fringe and Lie to Me is at least as good as for The Mentalist.
