Talk:Psych

Elements of Parody

Psych seems half-born from elements of another USA Network original series, The Dead Zone. Instead of copping to his eidetic memory as the source of his abilities to solve complex crimes, Spencer instead uses the information he gains through observation to initiate faked "visions", claiming himself to be a psychic.

--note: I moved this here not because it is not an excellent point, but because perhaps it could be developed into a mini-essay about parallells with other series and points of parody as a theme in the show, assuming that this is a viable and continuing theme. For now, it seems more trivia than something of a theme yet. Please feel free to move it back if you disagree strenuouslyTranscendentalstate 20:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

To me, it suspiciously sounds like original research, as there's no way to cite or prove this. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 20:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Song

On USA Network, a song plays in the background of a commercial for Psych... can someone help me and tell me what the song is. It's an old song I think... but I forgot the name of the song. EMAIL ME @ RAYARTPEREZ@yahoo.com

Consensus Request about formatting

In my opinion, the change of font size for the newspaper names in the critical reaction area is unnecessary, and not in keeping with encyclopedic format; it could be considered advertising. I request a consensus prior to changing it back to normal font, however, to avoid editing war. I've never requested a consensus before, so if this is not the way to do it, please let me know.

This is fine, though I don't know how effective it will be, as the article is fairly new, and I'm not sure how many editors are actively watching the page. The formation of individual sections for individual reviews is indeed unorthodox. I'm just going to go ahead and just change it. If there is an actual dispute, I'm sure it will reemerge sooner or later. Dancter 21:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Excellent. It looks much better now.Transcendentalstate 22:33, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Psych categories

I've created a category for the series. Robert Moore 01:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Psyche and Monk

I have noticed a lot of similarities between Adrian Monk and Shawn from Psyche. Ex. They both notice details, they both are witty (though in different ways), etc. However this is original research, therefore not suitable for Wikipedia. If anyone has found a website or media source that supports my claim, that would be interesting. Eirra 03:33, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

It probably is original research, but there was a commercial about the two shows in which their similarities were touched on. Like they had the screen split with a close-up of each saying "Here's the thing" at the same time. Just sayin' that the network noticed it too. 66.87.91.36 05:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Differences from the Pilot

It'd be awesome if the trivia section noted some differences from the pilot, especially regarding the casting change. --67.168.0.155 18:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Lassiter

In his entry he's described as 'clean' and 'by the book', however, in his new partner's entry, he's described as the 'bad cop' to her 'good cop'. I haven't seen the show and maybe the two descriptions aren't mutually exclusive, but they seem to me to be in contradition with each other.--Anchoress 00:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

That cops ex-partner/girlfriend

wtf happend to her?me > you 02:06, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Malik1

She didn't return after shooting the pilot. I heard the test audience didn't like her character. You have to realize that there is a significant time span from shooting the pilot to shooting the rest of the season because there is no guarantee the show will take off. After USA picked up the show, a lot of changes were in the set and the lineup.--67.168.0.155 19:46, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

But I thought I saw her in episode 2 and 3 me > you 07:14, 6 August 2006 (UTC)Malik1

Maybe you're mistaking her for the new partner or the chief. They're all blondes. Zagsa 21:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
