The Mentalist has to be one of the greatest shows on TV today; I love it! Last night’s episode, Red Scare, ended with Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) treating the rest of the team to “Case-Closed Pizza”; I just thought that was pretty funny. The characters from most of the other detective shows on TV head to a bar for a closing celebratory time, but not these guys…
One weird bit of trivia from the show is that although Simon Baker sounds like any other Californian in the show, he is originally from Australia, and in real life speaks with a pretty distinct Aussie accent. It always strikes me as strange when people from other places imitate American accents. I never think twice about an American imitating an Aussie or Brit, but… Is that just me?
