U.S. TV's top-rated scripted series is off to a good start in the UK-- last night's premiere of "The Mentalist" on Channel 5 came in second among the five terrestrial networks, beating a lineup of documentaries in the 9 p.m. on the competition (although a nature doc on BBC1 beat it)--it's the highest-rated U.S. series premiere in C5's 12-year history, besting the series premieres of the three "CSI" shows on the network that has always been friendly to U.S. procedurals (the "L&O" franchise also airs on C5):
