    Unlike Monk, a gently comic character coping with mental illness, Roday's just an overgrown kid. [10 Jul 2006, p.39]

    A second-rate knockoff of what's not quite a first-rate fabrication itself.

    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.

    Perfect show! Sarcastically hilarious! The way Roday and Hill work together just crack me up too! I couldn't WAIT for the first season 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 than Monk. Full Review »

The critics are If I wanted a serious crime drama, I'd watch Law and Order, CSI (in one of its seemingly endless carnations), or NCIS. The critics are taking themselves waaay to seriously. Psych is cheesy in the best possible way. There's nothing better than ending a week of work and classes than watching my two fav detectives solve mysteries. If the show is too far-fetched for the 'oh, look at me I work for the WSJ so my serious opinion matters' critics who don't like it, well, that's what we 'low-brows' like to call escapism.
