Looks like I won't get thru S01 then....indeed they are all pretty annoying (except Corbin, for now....)

Since Red John is some kind of super bad guy with great powers of persuasion etc. perhaps he will be found to be Patrick Jane's evil twin?

Hey, you don't find "Lassy" amusing?

Guster is the most annoying by far (Dule' Hill).

Then Sean/Shawn (Roday).

Just the two leads, lol.

But the others?

One more episode this season, and it was just yesterday that Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona) did such a great love scene at the end of the previous season.

Burn Notice is as light as Psych and with no irritating characters.

Unless you count Sharon Gless (sp) as the Mom; nice to see her working.

PS. At Mac's, go for the Big 'n' Tasty, your way.

Some of the replies in this thread may have been a psych and some may just have been mental-ist...

True but I was surprised to find myself cheering for Canada in the Olympics so, since I am apparently not a real American yet, I don't see how I can consider myself a Las Vegan

Nonetheless, I do like In and Out and also Fatburger (but what a dumb name!).

I always thought Fatburger was a genius name heh.

But In and Out...that's what it's all about.

Emphasizing the 'fast' in fast food. Kind of like SONIC.

Living for decades between Poland and Germany brings some kind of strange psyche split by supporting sport teams from both countries. If Poland play vs Germany a football match I always cross the fingers for Germany, what I never would do watching handball, volleyball... when these teams meet... strange indeed or?

If you like psych you should really watch "Better off Ted" wich is the best quirky humor show ive seen in a long time.

[JoAnneM]

I like all of the characters on the Mentalist, they are a great ensemble. I also like Criminal Minds, does anyone watch that? We just found it this year so don't know how long it has been on. As for leads, no one outshines Simon Baker!

There is nothing = NOTHING I SAY! - to match Better Off Ted!

And Portia di Rossi?

Wow!

She was on Ally McBeal and ...?

Well, comedy-wise it's BOT, drama-wise it is Dexter, on the same sat channel as was the great Dead Like Me.

However, Psych is for the brain-dead hemisphere within your cranium, Ted for the superior hemisphere, the one alive and brilliant.

CM has been on way too long. Should have dumped w/Manny Patinkan's departure.

He, btw, was a lead on Showtimes defunct but still marvallous Dead Like Me.


That, btw, is the site's spelling.

Kind of weird to see "Vegan" "Fatburger" and "In and Out" all in the same mouthful, as it were.

In my pre-vegetarian days, I'd take Tommy's over the other two, but all three are pretty tasty.

I agree that Better off Ted is terrific. I literally laugh out loud watching that show nearly every time.

I absolutely love the Veridian Dynamics videos.

Quote

Veridian Dynamics. Friendship. It's so important. But it's different at work. Time spent with friends at work robs your employer of opportunity. And robbing people is wrong. Veridian Dynamics. Friendship. It's the same as stealing.

I think my favorite episode is the Racial Sensitivity episode from season one that has the automatic sensors to open doors and turn off lights that work perfectly except for the problem of not seeing black people.

Quote

   
    Ted: The system doesn't see black people?
    Veronica: I know. Weird, huh?
    Ted: That's more than weird, Veronica. That's basically, well... racist.
    Veronica: The company's position is that it's actually the opposite of racist, because it's not targeting black people. It's just ignoring them. They insist the worst people can call it is "indifferent."
    Ted: Well, they know it has to be fixed, right? Please... at least say they know that.
    Veronica: Of course they do, and they're working on it. In the meantime they'd like everyone to celebrate the fact that it sees Hispanics, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Jews.

So yes to Better Off Ted. And also yes to Dead Like Me. And I haven't watched Dexter but I hear good things about it. But I still maintain that both Psych and the Mentalist are good programs, and that Psych is in fact the better of the two.

Deadwood, The Wire, Dexter.

I think both The Wire and Dexter are great shows. I have never seen Deadwood, but since I like the other 2 programs you mention so much, I think I will check it out

Here are some other TV shows I have enjoyed in recent years (in no particular order):

- The Shield
- Weeds
- Battlestar Galactica
- Law and Order (various flavors)
- The Daily Show
- South Park

The Shield was great as was BG.

I don't like "westerns" but Deadwood was amazingly good. Ian McShane led a superb cast. The grit and reality was finely woven into the tapestry of the storyline.

[PassedOut]

I enjoy Dexter and Weeds and liked Deadwood a lot. Battlestar Galactica was often interesting, so have started with Caprica. Sometimes catch the Daily Show for laughs.

Never seen Psych or Mentalist or any of the other shows mentioned, so I'm in my usual out-of-touch state in that respect. (Come to think of it, can't remember eating either a Big Mac or a Whopper.)
