Psych is a tv show on USA network which deals with the work of Shawn Spencer (James Roday) a highly perceptive private detective who masquerades as a psychic to get cases and often works with the Santa Barbara police department. He has a partner, his best friend and straight man Gus (Dule Hill) and has a flirtationship with police detective Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson). The show sparkles with great witty writing and hilariosly charmng performances by Lawson, Hill, and most of all Roday. Shawn's intelligence, observational skills, and irreverant sense of humor chock full of obscure pop culture references all make him charater I identify with. The realtionships between the charachters are strong and Shawn-Juliet is the rare fictional relationship that doesn't suffer from (s)he's-to-good-for-him/her syndrome, you really end up rootting for them. The show's entusiasm is infectious and when the writing is "on" it's more enjoyable to watch then any sitcom I've ever seen.
yes, but is it as good as the mentalist? ;-)
