Linda Stasi

It's not only laugh-out-loud-until-soda-squirts-out-of-your-nose funny, but it's also perfectly cast. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

If you like "Monk," you'll probably love this show, which may actually be even more enjoyable. Read full review

Ray Richmond

It takes itself seriously pretty much not at all, which is precisely what we want at 10 p.m. on a summer Friday. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Can you enjoy a show without liking the main character? Psych puts that unnecessary challenge to viewers. Read full review

Brian Lowry

"Psych" isn't nearly as much fun as it ought to be, offering a breezy but not particularly captivating twist on a very well-worn buddy formula. Read full review

Ken Tucker

Better show title? Monk for Morons. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Psych is a one-trick pony that quickly deteriorates into a rather humdrum mystery once the novelty of watching Spencer fake his psychic revelations wears off. Read full review

Who cares about the crime, the lines are hysterical and plot keeps me awake. I love all the attention to just noticing simple details.

Perfect show! Sarcastically hilarious! The way Roday and Hill work together just crack me up too! I couldn't WAIT for the first season to come out, and now I've got it! Funnier than Monk, in my opinion, but then again, I am a sarcastic person. That's why it appeals to me more Perfect show! Sarcastically hilarious!

How could you hate a show of this caliber? I've watched all 6 seasons at least 6 times through! The inside jokes are unbearably funny and the way the cast gets along is amazing. A lot of these old reviews compare it to Monk, I was never that kid growing up (when monk/psyche were still backHow could you hate a show of this caliber? I've watched all 6 seasons at least 6 times through! The inside jokes are unbearably funny and the way the cast gets along is amazing. A lot of these old reviews compare it to Monk, I was never that kid growing up (when monk/psyche were still back to back) who picked one or the other. I did grow fonder to psych as it was more lively and had better jokes. The immaturity of the characters adds to the appeal of the show even more.… Expand

this show is so painfully stupid it makes me cringe just to see the commercials for it. how can USA carry a brilliant show like Monk and fall for this waste of time?
