Psych is one of those happy collisions of an intelligent script and an appealing cast.

Better show title? Monk for Morons.

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.
July 07, 2006
The lighthearted Psych charms even as it duplicates the structure and tone of Monk.

Can you enjoy a show without liking the main character? Psych puts that unnecessary challenge to viewers.
July 07, 2006
As with Monk, the crime is largely an afterthought. Psych similarly serves up murder as a fluffy souffle, but what a tasty way to end the week.
July 07, 2006
Unlike Monk, a gently comic character coping with mental illness, Roday's just an overgrown kid. Who needs him?
July 07, 2006
Psych, a new detective series on USA, is bipolar: inventive one minute and ploddingly formulaic the next.
July 07, 2006
The hammy younger actor [James Roday] isn't quite as cute as he thinks he is, and he belongs on a louder comedy series , a laugh-track sitcom in which his clowning might fit in more naturally.
July 07, 2006
Psych isn't nearly as much fun as it ought to be, offering a breezy but not particularly captivating twist on a very well-worn buddy formula.
