Why can’t I watch the Mentalist when sometimes I fall asleep? ABC lets me watch the shows I sleep through. I think you have quite a follwing but you are going to loose some of your faithful viewers. Hard working tax paying senior citizens need their rest; please don’t punish us!

I agree with u all this is a bunch of bs. i dont watch metalist or 11th hour but i do watch big bang theory and for somereason my dvr isnt recording em when i set it to record the series. So i figured ill catch up on cbs website and get caught up. Well thats a no go now that u cant watch full ep’s there nor can u watch them anywhere else cuz all videos have been removed. I feel like i reverted back to the 70’s when u missed a show to bad. CBS all u are doing is pissing people off that want to watch your shows.

It’s because they can make so much money in selling the box sets that they pulled everything from the web so that no one can take from the web. They’ll be forced to have to buy the box sets from now on. Otherwise we could just take the stream from the server and have our own copies. But they want to make tons of money so they yanked them.

CBS…..why do you always take off shows that are hits with the public. Now you have done it again with Eleventh Hour. Your are forcing the public to what other networks, because if we get interested in a particular show, you take it off. Please reconsider your options with 11th Hour. The plots are good and the actors are really good. It is comforting to watch without having all that vulgarity and nudity.

They’re being really foolish. Like the Big 3 car companies…you go cheap for as long as you can, but then by the time you try to catch up to everyone else when your cheap non-updated method fails, it’s too late and you’ve lost potential customers. I never watched TV until ABC started streaming shows. Then I became a Lost devotee. Then I became a Heroes devotee on NBC. Now I faithfully watch 2 NBC shows, 1 ABC, and a new FOX show–all because they’re airing online. And now I’m subject to marketing and commercials I never would have seen otherwise. So hello, yes they’re making money on me. I was interested in the Mentalist, but sorry, no way was I going to invest in it mid-season or wait to rent the DVDs. Now there are too many episodes. They’re hamstringing themselves, and proving yet again that they’re totally out of touch with the younger demographic. Harper’s Island? Nope, not going to watch it on TV. I’m just too busy for normal TV.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why you are no longer allowing us to access episodes of “The Mentalist”. It has become one of my favorite shows; however, last evening I was at a meeting and had to tape the show. When I went to view it, the last 10 minutes (the “revealing” portion of the show) somehow did not get taped. I am disheartened to not be able to view those 10 minutes on-line. BOO! Although this is not a regular occurence with me, I question whether or not I shall continue to view the show. SAD!

I was going to start watching both The Mentalist and 11th hour to see if I could get into either of them now that ABC cancelled my favorite show ‘Life on Mars’. I’ve heard good things about them from friends so I looked forward to finding another ‘favorite’ show. I planned on watching all past episodes to catch up and see what the story is about. Well, guess not, I have no intention of bothering to start a show in the middle of a storyline so I won’t be tunning in to either of these shows. What’s wrong with these TV execs, they spend so much time mucking around with their shows that no one is going to be viewing anything!

I’ve completely given up on CBS shows in general because they’ve ticked me off so much. Why in the world would I want to watch a 2 minute clip of an episode that I’ll never see??

i am frustrated too! it doesn’t make sense that i can catch other shows from the other networks online…like all of them! (gotta love hulu) i just bought a new tv and i can’t afford tivo and the vcr just doesn’t cut it…especially when you want to watch it in HD…and when the vcr stops 15 minutes before the show is done. i’ve missed so many episodes of the mentalist and i want to catch up! it’s such a good show.

It’s really disappointing that CBS decided to pull the Mentalist episodes from their website. You can’t rely on DVR to know when the games will go over or whatever.
