I made fun of this show for the longest time, but I was bored and looking for a cop show (I love cop shows). I watch them while working on the site. I have turned around my opinion on this show. In the last week I have blown through 3 seasons of this show, and I just saw an episode that was one of the more poinient episodes of TV I have seen in a long time (where a sick guy takes some pills to put himself out of his missary and the main character consuls him as he dies)

I have really turned around on this show.

I've only caught a few episodes when they've been on, and they were really good. I'm normally not into the whole cop/CSI/PI shows thing, but this is one I could put up with. Should really stick a series link on for them or something.

I saw a parody of this on SNL or MADtv and stayed away from it since. Didn't thought it was any good. Merely the title of that show sounds crappy to me...

Only good cop-shows I know are Homicide and The Wire. And Homicide has lost it's spirit halfway through season 3.

I prefer Psyche by a factor of a thousand.
Similar premise, but played for laughs.

Yea, the Mentalist is more procedural. Psych is more Yuk Yuk. Thinking objectively, I like Psyche more. Mentalist is a better "cop" show, but Psyche is funnier. Funny wins I guess.

Ok, well it is not even close to being as good as those two shows. Its good for a middle of the road procedural, and has some shining moments. I am enjoying it. But the Wire is one of the best shows on TV...soo...

I watch the Menalist every time it comes on. Rather than being a psychic, his powers of observation are phenomenal. Then again, this is TV. Maybe one day he will catch Red John.

Still have new series coming up over here. Smaller shows like this we tend to be a few years back on you guys in the US though.
