This sucks! Why does cbs.com give you the option of selecting “full episode” to watch and gives you only a recap. Why would I want to watch a recap? I like to be surprised when I am watching something. Now the recap just took away my surprise. Shame on you, cbs.com!!!

They are being ridiculous. I just dumped my cable and using my Roku to watch Hulu+ and Netflix . The only shows that I can’t get through them are CBS. I can watch those OTA but if I miss an episode, I guess I’m out of luck. Since I can’t timeshift now, I guess I won’t be watching much CBS. I figure that’s not too great of a loss in order to save over $60 a month (I no longer have to pay for Showtime and HBO to watch their original series, I can watch them one season late but also can start from the beginning on the ones I missed, so that makes it even more valuable than $60 to me).

To anyone boo hooing about the lack of free streaming for some shows on network sites.. stfu. Be happy you have any at all because in Canada, where I live, they don’t allow us to watch ANYTHING on their sites. Oh woe is you…

If you want downloaded versions with good quality email me and i’ll tell you how. It’s safe and fast as long as you have proper anti-virus; bspringer01@live.com

Sorry, No Full Episode’s. CBS doesn’t have the streaming rights to The Mentalist which is produced by Warner Brothers Television and they won’t allow it. Warner Brothers has all the control. But, you can watch online. Check in to the forum for help where Not sure if this is valid info.

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!
