When the image of the Virgin Mary is spotted on a bale of compressed cardboard at a recycling plant, Booth and Brennan are on the scene.

Pitted against American Idol which has been a ratings powerhouse for use, The Mentalist still holds its own and has remained the most popular and most unexpected hit of the season.

According to LA Times, the show is widely popular among female viewers, owing 60% of its audience share to this demographic. The Mentalist decidedly lacks edgier fashion, well-known celebrities or a cool soundtrack, so what makes it work? Network executives believe it’s thanks to Simon Baker. His “easy and relaxed” performance is quite appealing and easily relatable.
