It takes itself seriously pretty much not at all, which is precisely what we want at 10 p.m. on a summer Friday.
-
There are holes to fill, though, before this show gets up to "Monk" level. What's encouraging is that it starts solidly and has a chance to find itself.
-
It's not only laugh-out-loud-until-soda-squirts-out-of-your-nose funny, but it's also perfectly cast.
-
The lighthearted "Psych" charms even as it duplicates the structure and tone of "Monk."
-
As is the case of "Monk'' at its best, ["Psych"] isn't as much about the crime mysteries as it is a vehicle for lighthearted fun.
-
"Psych" is one of those happy collisions of an intelligent script and an appealing cast.
-
As with Monk, the crime is largely an afterthought. Psych similarly serves up murder as a fluffy soufflé, but what a tasty way to end the week.
-
If you like "Monk," you'll probably love this show, which may actually be even more enjoyable.
-
Granted, the premise is a stretch. But the gimmick allows for some clever comic jibes while creating some useful dramatic tension between Shawn and the cops, Shawn and his father, and Shawn and his best friend.
