And WTF Bartz with this hate of Psych.
Although the premise is nice and the show had plenty of potential, James Roday is completely insufferable as the lead in this show. His smug superiority that is not mocked but instead glorified is almost as appalling as the constant obscure pop-culture references that are thrown in just for the sake of being pop-culture references, attempting to fool the viewer into thinking the show is funny and witty when it is actually just incomprehensible.
Psych represents one of the worst aspects of modern television, and that is the constant pandering and insistances of "Watch me, I'm funny" without doing anything in the show that is genuinely funny. Every laugh feels forced, as if there is some silent force saying, "you should laugh here, this line is a joke." I'll give them credit though; most shows have to use a laugh track to do this.
