Patrick, Theresa et al will call Sunday home until Jan. 7, when they relocate to finish up their run in the Wednesdays-at-8 time slot. A two-hour series finale is set for Feb. 18.

CBS’ midseason scheduling release also announced the following:

will return with three Sunday episodes — opening the Eye’s line-up on Dec. 14, 21 and 28, while

is on holiday — before moving to the Friday lead-off spot on Jan. 2.

‘s season finale (two hours plus a reunion show) will air Wednesday, Dec. 17, while

kick off their spring cycles on Wednesday, Feb. 25, each with a 90-minute opener;

then returns to its Fridays-at-8 time slot on Feb. 27.

will air their fall finales on Nov. 23 and 30, respectively, then resume their seasons Jan. 4.

Even though last season was a huge disappointment involving Red John’s endgame which was terrible to say the least, a major reboot including a couple of new characters and Rigsby and Van Pelt’s swan song and let’s not forget how the season ended with Jane and Lisbon’s somewhat fairy tale ending.

I am a huge fan of The Mentalist and, especially Simon Baker. Losing “The Mentalist” for me is as depressing as it was when I lost “House, MD”! However, the moment Patrick killed Red John and then confessed his love for Lisbon, the writing on was on the wall. My concern now is will Simon Baker ever do another TV show. He is really talented and is a joy to watch. I will really miss the show.

The Mentalist was one in a million. The chemistry between Jane and Lisbon outstanding. I take solace in the fact that CBS continues to bring us top notch entertainment, Under The Dome, Extant, Big Bang, not to forget Survivor. REAL QUALITY! Once Elementary and POI is gone I will have no reason to watch anything on this lousy network.

I hope that Mentalist final season will available for on demand because the football will make it hard to discovery when the show will started. I got to save my money to buy the complete season on DVD.

As the article says, they are airings to on Wednesday’s at 8:00.. No football preemption there.

New football games is here (and will be here) every week, for next many years/decades, but no more new Mentalist.

Final episodes for Madame Sec what a joke there hasn’t been but one full show I have been able to record due to football cutting into it and messing up the recording schedule

Why don’t you set your DVR to record long. All DVRs have the functionality.

That’s what I do. I watch all the CBS shows on Sunday and have the last one set to one hour longer.

They ruined it when they got rid of the CBI. Then they moved to Austin which is a really quirky [place, but never used it. The writers and producers are to blame.

This whole fall finale thing is a joke. You don’t see a program for four months then you get six or seven episodes and it’s another six to eight week hiatus. No wonder channels Like HBO are taking over. It’s a good thing I have Netflix so I can watch some TV through half of November and December

Math dictates that shows that air in the non summer months can’t air 22 episodes over 36 or more weeks without a few months off in some form.

Not a huge surprise here. I think CBS really hurt the show by moving it to Sundays where it constantly got bumped due to football. Ratings for the 6th season were down but still strong. I’m hoping they can go out on top (both story and ratings wise) and perhaps get shopped to another network.

On the other hand, if the stars themselves are ready to be done, maybe it’s best for the show to be done.

I don’t know why CBS and the shows people can’t do what ABC is doing. Air nonstop till december then open again mid jan… I mean seriously, the shows have barely started and now its like sorry we r going off air and will come back next year intermittently till may… sucks.

You mean cancel good shows after only one season? Cuz that seems to be ABC’s style.

No word yet on when the new season of Mike & Molly is going to premiere. Don’t know if CBS is planning a “final season” for CSI.

Sad to see it go but grateful that we are getting such notice, it will give us a proper ending which is more than most shows get.

My thoughts exactly. At least we aren’t left hanging!

I have written CBS RE:CSI. The last 3 episofes have not aired due to football going over. The CBS pre-empted CSI so local News came on @ reasonable time. Why did they move to Sunday night (killer night for most shows) & will the full season be shown? Any chance show will move to Thurs or Fri night when there is no football…we also watch, but don’t want them to come back & say “due to low ratings, we cancelled”. You can’t get ratings if show isn’t aired. Thank you!!

CBS scheduled new episodes of CSI for the last two weeks, but ended up airing repeats from last season instead (on the west coast). The original 10/26 episode “Girls Gone Wilder” has now been rescheduled (again) for 11/09.

I feel like there is more to explore with the characters of Lisbon and Jane, especially now that they are in a relationship, but if no other channel picks up the show, then I hope they give it a proper and satisfying ending.

Nobody did last season when it wasn’t renewed with the huge wave of CBS shows. No one will now

I am sorry to hear about the Mentalist, but not surprised. Actually, I didn’t the overarching story line and feel they didn’t leave themselves leeway to continue future story lines.

I got so sick of hear “red john’ so many times I quit watching….so last year they tried but it was and is too late

wheeeeee! the Mentalist is coming back in Nov. Can’t wait!

Good things all end sooner or later. At least we know when the show will. Won’t be like the ones on A&E that ends with cliffhanger and you never know what happens. Also when will we see this year’s CSI shows. It seems each week, we only get see 60 minutes which I don’t watch, then Madam Secretary and The Good Wife; but not CSI.

CSI obviously wouldn’t get many viewers running from 11 PM – 12AM on the east coast so CBS preempted it.

What is odd is for CBS to program anything at 10PM on Sunday when they have the afternoon football game. They should just turn that hour over to the local affiliates until football is over.That way people won’t be disappointed when their show doesn’t air. CSI should have been saved for mid season.

I think it is good that CBS is scheduling new programming instead of reruns when The Good Wife disappears until January.

When Once Upon A Time finishes sometime in early December it will be gone until March. A much longer time than the CBS shows.

I am a big fan of the show but it feels like time to end. The post-Red John episodes haven’t been totally awful but not great either. Better to end on a high with a good 7th season.

Not Surprising. Everybody had a hand in ruining this show. The fans screamed for the end of the Red John Saga, then screamed that there was nothing left for the show to say or do. CBS moved the show to Sundays at 10 pm EST, then started it late constantly when their sports programming ran too long. It became the CBS Red headed Stepchild show(it was the one that always took the beating). Getting rid of 2 main members of the show(does anyone know why except that their contracts were ending?) was a mistake. It is also a Warner Communications show(not a CBS show; there is a difference) so it was more expensive than a lot of other shows. There is nowhere for it to go unless Netflix or AMC would pick it up. Simon Baker gets $350,000 an episode, so it’s already very expensive. I really liked the show, and I will be sad to see it go.

All good things must come to an end. Hope they send the show off with style.

The producers and writers killed an outstanding series. It became a senseless muddle.

I do set the DVR to record 3 Hrs extra in case they air CSI after the news. What aired this past Sun after the news was an additional episode of “The Good Wife”…which I don’t watch, so I couldn’t tell you if it was a repeat. We are in TX, CSI is aired @ 9 PM for us. The NFL has taken over Sunday nights, in addition to adding Thurs night to the Mon night airing.

This is no surprise. Shorter episode order and coming on basically to allow other shows time off. This was virtually announced when the new schedules were released. Why is anyone shocked now?

This was a good show, and like all things must end. It went sideways with all the “RED’ stuff. Thats when I went to other shows.

The death of Red John ruined the show for me, and the shuffling cast was even more perturbing, and I fled. The show should’ve ended in the episode Red John finally was discovered, should have died a quicker less painful death for what once was an exciting imaginative show.

I actually thought last season’s finale would have been a perfect ending. I’ll watch until the end of course, but I’ve never been a big fan of all the changes after the Red John story ended, and that itself was a big letdown after years of build up. I just hope after it ends that it gets put on Netflix or Amazon Prime. I’d like to be able to go back and watch the early seasons again.

Sucks that its the last season but its gonna be good now that Jane and Lisbon are back together

With The Mentalist officially ending, I hope they just time jump and show them in a happy realtionship for the remaining episodes. Relationship angst will be unnecessary and it would be more fun to watch them be playful with each other and solve some good crimes.

oh this is sad even though everyone already saw this coming. how many episodes will it run?

I’m betting that if the original CSI miraculously gets renewed for next season, CBS will be doing an essentially similar schedule for that series’s final season as well.

What a shame that The Mentalist is being cancelled after this season(only 13 episodes) and another site has Madam Secretary a lock to be renewed. Maybe CBS should move Madam Secretary to 10 pm EST on Sundays so it can become their new red headed stepchild show.
