    It's not only laugh-out-loud-until-soda-squirts-out-of-your-nose funny, but it's also perfectly cast.

    Can you enjoy a show without liking the main character? Psych puts that unnecessary challenge to viewers.

    Unlike Monk, a gently comic character coping with mental illness, Roday's just an overgrown kid. [10 Jul 2006, p.39]

    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.… Expand

    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.… Expand

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