I'm with you, but you just have to wonder how many more police dramas can the public deal with?
What is it now, 50% of prime time?

Believe me, I know! These types of shows represent the vast majority of our primetime viewing. The wife and I normally enjoy the 3 CSI's, the 3 L&O's, Life, The Closer, Saving Grace, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, Without A Trace, Dexter and Medium, with an occasional Monk or Numbers thrown in.ajtmcse said:I'm with you, but you just have to wonder how many more police dramas can the public deal with?

But what about a reality police show - COPSajtmcse said:Let me be clear on one thing. I'll take all police shows 7*24 before I will watch any "reality" show..![]()
Ya, but unlike Psych, the Baker character doesn't pretend to be psychic, FWIW.phrelin said:We like Simon Baker for some unknown reason and will watch the show. But I'm not sure about a serious version of "Psych".
Psych borders on silly at times. But it really is mostly a comedy unlike Monk which has amusing moments. I agree that for a pilot this episode of The Mentalist was pretty well written.Steve said:Ya, but unlike Psych, the Baker character doesn't pretend to be psychic, FWIW.(And the writing is better, IMO... at least for the pilot). /steve

Thank You! I'll be sure to catch it!Steve said:The pilot is airing again tonite at 8PM EDT. /steve
Not if you are familiar with Psych and think about a serious version with better cops.armophob said:Missed the heads up on this one. I had to find something to delete to set a SL but it is now set. Will I be lost after missing the pilot?
He did pretend to be a psychic untill the serial killer caught him with his psychic pants down and left him the note. After that he went legit. My wife called him Shawn Spenser all grown up.Steve said:Ya, but unlike Psych, the Baker character doesn't pretend to be psychic, FWIW.(And the writing is better, IMO... at least for the pilot). /steve
I kind of disagree with phrelin... you may be a bit lost as far as the protagonist's background goes if they don't rehash it with a future episode. I'd recommend watching it here:armophob said:Missed the heads up on this one. I had to find something to delete to set a SL but it is now set. Will I be lost after missing the pilot?
