Fall TV Premiere Week - Tuesday

On this second day of the new Fall TV Premiere Week we have several favorites coming back to our TV screens along with a couple of new ones.


Here are today's premiere:

8:00 pm
NCIS on CBS
Opportunity Knocks on ABC

9:00 pm
The Mentalist on CBS

10:00 pm
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on NBC
Without a Trace on CBS


My "Top TV Pick" for today is: THE MENTALIST

It stars Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation.

Within the Bureau, Jane 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 openly resists having Jane in her unit and 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, Wayne Rigsby and rookie member Grace Van Pelt, who all think Jane's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases.
