Did you know

• Owain Yeoman is in fact Welsh; he puts on the American accent he uses, which even fooled the other cast members, as he always stayed in character, even when the cameras weren't rolling.

• In most of season five, Amanda Righetti (Grace Van Pelt) was pregnant. Since it didn't fit in with the story line, she can only be seen sitting behind a computer or in dark shadows in almost every scene, and doesn't go into the field.

• Every episode title, until Season 6, Episode 8, "Red John (2013)", contains a reference to the color red, like "Paint it Red", "Scarlet Fever", "Russet Potatoes", or "Bloodshot". This is because Patrick Jane's nemesis is the ingenious, sadistic serial killer Red John. Beginning with Season 6, Episode 9, "My Blue Heaven (2013)", Red John has been caught, so this theme is discontinued.
