The Mentalist - Nina Tassler answers...

[katikat]

The Hollywood Reporter posted an interview with Nina Tassler, President of the CBS Entertainment. I liked especially this part:

THR: "The Mentalist," the biggest new hit of the season. Anything different with the show next season that's going to continue its success?

Tassler: If it ain't broke, don't fix it, and so much of that show works really well. We want to hear from (creator) Bruno Heller and his group of people as to some of the ideas they have. One example that the audience was really intrigued with was what is Patrick Jane's backstory? I think we were given permission to reveal a little bit more next season.

That means that TM will get a 2nd season - not that I doubted it! - and that TPTB won't start micromanaging the show, forcing ideas on the show runners! Hooray!

From the shows that I watch and love, they already renewed NCIS, The Mentalist, Leverage, Supernatural and Psych. Only my lovely Stargate Atlantis was canceled *sigh*

Me too! I mean, I loved the small things that we learn, like that he keeps the painted face in the room where his wife and child were murdered or that he had a nervous breakdown... \o/
