Call to Action: Have you found The Mentalist Blu-ray Exclusive in the wild? Do you own the Steelbook or the CBI folder edition? Share your collection photos in the comments below. And if you are still hunting, check our links to current eBay listings (but act fast—these listings disappear faster than a psychic’s con artist act).
Today, because they are "exclusive" and out of print, secondary market prices have skyrocketed.
The exclusive Blu-ray gag reel runs 22 minutes—nearly double the online version. Watch Owain Yeoman (Rigsby) corpse mid-serious line, or Robin Tunney (Lisbon) completely lose it when Baker delivers a line in a fake Australian accent on purpose just to crack her.
In the collector's market, the "Blu-ray exclusive" is often the packaging itself.
Broadcast TV is subject to strict timing blocks. The Blu-ray versions of episodes occasionally feature longer cuts of scenes—lingering glances between Jane and Lisbon, or extended interrogation sequences—that were trimmed to fit the exacting demands of CBS’s commercial breaks. While not marketed as "Director's Cuts," these versions represent the purest narrative version of the show.
