    A quirky comedy that embraces its hard-to-believe premise and contains just the right hint of drama.

But I've never met a single person who I introduced the show to and they thought it was stupid. It has truely grown since the first episode and many things about this show strike me as phenomanal.

The show is about a slacker called Shawn Spencer who has developed great observational skills because of intense training from his father who has worked as a Policeman for the Santa Barbara Police Department. Shawn has a passion for solving mysteries and gives tips to the SBPD for both, the passion and the reward money. He accidentally starts to work as a Psychic consultant to help the homicide division tackle complex murder mysteries. Please do watch the Pilot before watching any other episode. It will all fall into place. I do not want to give away the spoiler. The show is very post modern, if you will and each and every character is so well defined and likable. That, coupled with all the pop culture references in both a positive and a negative light, the hilarious father son relationship and the complete madness between Shawn Spencer and Burton Gustor, his best friend, who also works as a Pharamaceutical Sales Representative, pulling Detective Lassiter's case all the time, Buckets of nice sweet love stories (devoid of that idiotic sexual tension that one sees usually in any drama on TV these days) and lastly, the pure detective work based on attentiveness, astute observations and instincts without the use of fancy, over the top scientific machines and equipments that help you solve identities and what not, makes this one the best detective shows, of course, as always, after COLUMBO. The beauty of the show is that while watching, you don't care so much about the case, as its all just about the humor and the characters. The show is based on Crime in Santa Barbara. The city is known to have the least crime rate, possibly none. You probably don't even need a homicide division in SB. I think that's the irony and the point of the show. That itself should give away the humor ride you are in for when you start to watch the show. While it is based in Santa Barbara, the show is shot in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada. The cinematography is beautiful, the music selection and the back ground score is really nice and the acting is flawless. It's a must watch if you are into witty humor!!… Expand

It's for the characters, how well-developed, interesting, and hilarious they are. If Shawn was a real person, he might get old with all of his quips and sarcasm, but he is perfect for a comedic TV show; his wordplay and stories are clever, and he always seems to show genuine emotion and heart. Dule Hill gets to show he talent for playing the straight man who enjoys his own occasional silliness, while Timothy Omundson plays Lassiter as the genuine straight man, always annoyed the Spencer and Gus's antics, but somehow never tiresome or redundant, and always seeming as though there is a little admiration or respect behind his derision. And Maggie Lawson's Juliet is nicely balanced between loving the crazy antics and wanting to be a good, serious, effective cop, allowing for tension within most episodes. Beyond the characters, the writing is clever, often showcasing interesting storytelling devices (such as the recent episode featuring two realities based on Shawn's actions), hilarious and memorable dialogue, and a lot more heart than would be expected in a police comedy. And, unlike most shows, the writing and stories seem to be getting better as the seasons go on. Of course there are some duds every now and then, but I am always re-watching episodes two or three times for the laughs, and discovering new and interesting things each time.… Expand

    Really sharp funny and highly concentrated humorous dialogue. Not for everybody but is anything that is good ever is. Give it a shot if you watched too much tv in the 80s

    This is a series done RIGHT! A perfect blend of funny interesting characters, boatloads of humor, and very clever in concept acting and execution. my personal favorite tv show that i would recomend to anyone with half decent tastes.

    Psych is one of the best TV shows that I have ever watched. Psych is the story of two best friends that help the Santa Barbara Police Department solve crimes. Shawn, who is incredibly observant, and Gus the more sane of the two. Its characters are funny, interesting and while sometimes they seem a little childish, it doesn't take much away from the show as a whole.

This being a crime show, of course, they have to solve crimes. BUT don't let that fool you into thinking this will be your traditional cop/detective show. Shawn has the most interesting ways of solving the crimes that always gets me in a good mood while watching. All in all, while this show may seem like it has a little too much childish banter at times, it really is the greatest I have ever watched.… Expand

    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.

    I love mysteries and Monk, and the last two episodes I saw of this show were really funny. I liked the chemistry between the two partners/friends. The only thing I didn't like is the whole son/dad relationship and trying to make it work..the whole episode about building the dog house dragged for a bit...overall, a good show and worth watching...

    One of the best shows of all time! I love my Monk and Psych Fridays! USA is really building up quite a lineup of excellent shows as of late. I think I watch more USA then the 4 major networks combined.

    This show is somewhat similar to Monk, in that it is based around a detective, but a lot better, from what was seen in the pilot episode!

    Great comedy, great CASTING, GUS and SHAWN are PERFECT compliments of each other. Uplifting, funny, warm, REAL... my only complaint: from a psychic or detective point of view there is very LITTLE substance. There is not alot of REAL investigative work.

    I really like this show. And I don't like many shows. It's clever. It's funny. The chemistry between Spencer and Gus is terrific. It's just a good light-hearted show.

    Psych is a detective show about two smart, talented young men, who intelligently present themselves as possibly the two biggest idiots the world has ever known. Sort of like Ron Burgundy in Anchorman. Shawn Spencer was trained as a boy to by hyper aware of his surroundings. Honing this skill his whole life, he would make for a brilliant detective however Shawn, is also an idiot, aPsych is a detective show about two smart, talented young men, who intelligently present themselves as possibly the two biggest idiots the world has ever known. Sort of like Ron Burgundy in Anchorman. Shawn Spencer was trained as a boy to by hyper aware of his surroundings. Honing this skill his whole life, he would make for a brilliant detective however Shawn, is also an idiot, a lovable and hilarious idiot who instead decides to pretend he's a psychic and start a fake psychic detective agency. Along with his equally hilarious partner, Burton Guster, whose facial expressions alone are enough to make a show, they bring the Santa Barbara police department the best crime solving ratio in the state. They may be complete idiots, but they get the job done every time and so nobody can harp them for it. And we get to enjoy watching this comedic duo in all their glory. Great show.… Expand

    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.
