CBS' new drama "The Mentalist" has been picked up for a full season with a back-nine order.
The Simon Baker starrer, from Warner Bros. TV, has emerged as one of the most promising new series this fall and a good fit for CBS' Tuesday crime lineup.
Last night, the third episode of "Mentalist" averaged 14.9 million viewers, 3.4 rating/8 share among adults 18-49, slipping a bit from last week, but still faring very well.
