Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** When [[Firefly (TV series)|Sean Maher]] shows up as an antagonist to Jayne - ahem, Jane - he says the speech that the [[Victim of the Week]] was going to give was about River rafting...
** Also, since Lisbon (Robin Tunney) is best known for being Sarah in ''[[The Craft]]'', the whole episode "Red Rum" had a bit of this. And Lisbon's crazy looked remarkably Tourette's-ish, Tunney's other major role being the lead in ''Niagara, Niagara''.
** Jane commenting "You should have seen me ten years ago" might be a [[Shout-Out]] to Simon Baker's 2001 drama series, ''[[The Guardian]]''.
Line 9:
* [[Fake American]]: Jane is played by Simon Baker, an Australian, while Rigsby is played by Owain Yeoman from Wales.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The appearances of the following people:
** [[Stacie Leah Rippy]], from ''[[True Blood]]'' (where she was a vampire), a one-time bit-part actor, now getting major roles.
** Also, Jessica from ''[[True Blood]]'' has a small role in the episode "Red Brick and Ivy".
** Jaime Murray, from ''[[Hustle]]''.
Line 20:
*** And Hoshi consulted with the CBI (Season 3 Episode 12).
** The show is loaded with former ''[[24]]'' cast members. Just a couple examples are Gregory Itzen (Charles Logan) as Virgil Minelli and Leslie Hope (Teri Bauer) as Kristina Frye.
** Morena Baccarin (a.k.a. [[V-2009|Anna]], [[Firefly (TV series)|Inara]], [[Stargate SG-1|Adria]]) is a matchmaker, recently widowed, in the episode "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
** [[West Wing|Josh Lyman]] is {{spoiler|Red John}}.
*** [[Jossed|Or not.]]
** Christopher Judge ([[Stargate SG-1|Teal'c]]) plays a casino's security chief. Jay Avocone ([[Stargate SG-1|Maj. Charles Kawalsky]]) is his boss.
** [[Firefly (TV series)|Simon Tam]] is a mayor's aide moonlighting as an environmental terrorist.
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Simon Baker's, Tim Kang's and Owain Yeoman's wives have appeared on the show.
* [[Recycled Script]]: A plot from 2014 where Theresa goes undercover in prison in order to become friends with a female carjacker so they can catch her [[Bigger Bad]] boyfriend was used in an episode of ''[[Dark Justice]]'' in 1993.
* [[Screwed by the Network]]: Fans have been accusing [[CBS]] of this since Season 5. First they put the series in a graveyard shift (10 PM Sunday), then every so often they force it to compete with football and other highly-rated shows. At the same time, the series itself has seen its share of critics increasing since Season 4, who accuse the writers of pulling [[The Chris Carter Effect]] with its Red John [[Myth Arc]]. In the middle of the final season, they moved it to a new time slot on Wednesday nights with little advance notice. They also started it in the middle of the television season with a limited episode order and the announcement that this was the final season.
