    Really funny, if you have any sort of sense of humor youl love this show. it does get a little repetative, and theres plenty of plot holes, but is a comedy so who cares.

    So much better than major network fare. It's a great companion piece to Monk. I wish Dule Hill's character was drawn better.

    Darn funny show. I worried a little after the second one aired, but they seem to have gotten back on top with some really funny stuff. Hope the show keeps evolving, I think it will need to.

    A very clever and witty show although throughout all the episodes i become impatient with the character of Shawn Spencer.

    show is silly at times, but that's some of the fun. Dule Hill needs more action and James Roday needs to be slightly more serious... but again that is some of the charm of this show.........

    In all honesty a pretty amazing show. Even when episodes become samey the show still delivers.

    The police work part of the show is kind of weak but the best part of the show is the two main characters. They are kind of like a way less ugly American version of Simmon Pegg and Nick Frost.

    Roday and Hill could just play best funny best friends in movie and shows forever and I would watch them.

    I'm actually quite suprised with the negative reviews, Shawn and Gus are my favourite 'dynamic duo'. On the other hand, the show can be a little repetitive.

    I love this show because it is so funny and I'm not a comedy guy. A dramedy is perfect for me. Shaun and Gus are so funny and they make a great team. So funny

    It's certainly not demanding or intelligent viewing but sometimes all you want is a bit of light-hearted comedy that you dont have to take too seriously and that's what this is; just something fun to do at the end of a long hard day

    The first season was quite hard to watch, but after you get through the first 6 or so episodes it develops into a great show.

    The premiere was awful, but given that it's paired with Monk, I gave it another chance, and the second episode showed more life. I think this has potential, if only they could make the lead character as likeable as Dule Hill (or at least moderately more likeable than he is now). I'll give this show another try, so hopefully it'll find it's footing.

    Perhaps the most annoying protagonist to emerge in years. Sheer agony when the lead character is onscreen.

    What's the difference between this show and Monk? Let me tell you. This one is silly, and silly and ... well... silly!.. I usually give 3-5 episodes to shows even if I hate the pilot, but I turned off the set in the fifth minute of the spelling bee episode (#2). I had to. I couldn't have lived with myself knowing I'd wasted another hour of my life for this junk.

    A very sophomoric show, I can't believe people like this show.

    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?

    Psych is defiantly a 5 star show. Psych has an amazing cast who portrayed the role perfectly/wasn't choppy. There are 8 season so defiantly room for error. I don't think there are any problems. The only comment would make is that the humor might not appeal to everyone. The humor contains 80's references and some crude humor. Make sure you see the movie.

    I've tried to watch it but it's so foolish I can't continue more than 5 minutes. It's not really consistent with the shows on this channel with the exception of Monk which I also cannot watch.

  1. It takes itself seriously pretty much not at all, which is precisely what we want at 10 p.m. on a summer Friday.
  2. 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.
