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

    I stumbled across this show on the iTunes Music Store because the pilot episode was free. I just purchased the rest of the series. This show is hillarious!

    A very hilarious comedy with an awesome premise. It is really true that people will often believe a supernatural explanation over a real one. Excellent acting and dialog!

    This is the BEST show EVER, it gives the mix of monks detective skills and a character that makes us all laugh until we blow wind

    I love this show very much. Sure there is room for improvment but it is still very well written, and casted. I found that people either really like this show or really hate it. 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.

There is a huge age range of people that watch this show, from 10 to 60 year olds. Hey, if it keeps the attention of a kid and is loved by older adults then I say that is something. Expand

    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.

    It's like Diagnosis murder meets Ace Ventura with a modern sense of humour. My favourite show at the moment.

    Wow - what a pleasant surprise! Very well done show and the lead is excellent - I really laughed a lot at times (particularly the restaurant scene where he meets the new police partner for the first time.... in episode 2). Way better than Monk.

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

    Warning: DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SECOND HALF OF THE CRITIC REVEIWS! instead listen to someone who watces this show consistantly, ive been watching since the beginning, one critic says shawn (yeah thats how its spelled) spence is nothing more than an overgrown kid. thats whats great about him, he is very immature at times. anyway this is refreshingly diferent than USA'S other detective hit Monk.

    I love this show. The characters are extremely funny and the mystery of each episode keeps you wanting more. I don't see why the reviewers were so harsh.

    I love the show and am looking forward to this summer. Hope to see more character development. Get a real kick out of the weird little credit segments.

  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.
