Fox's new "Mental" is a Tuesday TV pick

"Mental"

This new Fox drama stars Chris Vance as a psychiatrist who becomes Director of Mental Health Services at a Los Angeles hospital. Sounds a lot like a hybrid of "House" and "Lie to Me," but hey it's new and might be worth a look. 9 tonight, Fox (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
