My son and I watched Monk together when it first began. When Psych premiered, my son loved it, so I enjoyed him enjoying it. He has moved beyond Monk but we can still watch Psych, sometimes appreciating different aspects. Plus, I get to impress him with my trivial knowledge .
'Bounty Hunters' was, for me, the first episode that I remember just being gobsmacked as well. And have not been disappointed since. Although, not always gobsmacked.

I have a more roundabout route of discovering Psych than most. I had just enjoyed watching a detective-based dramedy from Japan called "Kuitan" (The Gluttonous Detective), where the main character, Takano Seiya, has an almost superhuman talent (much like Shawn Spencer) of being able to solve cases - by eating food. His unorthodox methods often annoy the chief investigator Ogata and her assistant Igarashi. (However, the chief Yamauchi is much more forgiving, much like Chief Vick is to Shawn; he turns out to be the twin brother of Takano's boss.) So, the premise of Psych was much like one of my favorite detective shows - from Japan. I think there are many parallels between "Kuitan" and "Psych".
Unfortunately, most Japanese shows only last for about a season (Kuitan lasted for two - with a 2 hour long special in between), so I needed a show to fill that gap. And Psych did that.
In case anyone wants to watch how a Japanese-style dramedy turns out (I mean, the new season of Psych is still months away), here's the third episode from the second season of Kuitan, "Eat anything 'soft and hard' in sight!" (It's in 5 parts, so please bear with this.)

(Wouldn't be interesting to have the "Psych" characters in the middle of an international assassination plot for an episode?)
Now THAT would be cool...great idea! And thanks for posting the links!!

I've been a fan since day one. I was always watching the reruns of Law and Order: SVU on USA and one day i saw the commercial for a new show: Psych. Since i was always watching the channel I kept on seeing the commercial and it looked funny so i made a mental note of the date in my mind. THEN, of course, we were doing something else that night and we got back late. Psych had already started but I decided to watch it from where it was. then i stayed up until it replayed and i watched the beginning. i've pretty much loved the show from that point on. I'm very proud to be able to say that i have been watching Psych since the day it aired! Although, it seems that my obsession grows with every half season
Like you, I have been a fan since day one, only I saw the ad during the season ender to Monk in 2006! At first, I didn't know what to think except I did like how James eyes rolled in the ad! Then came the ads with James and Tony Shalhaub, the first ad I remember was the time change for Monk to make room for Psych (Before Psych aired in 2006, Monk was on Friday nights at ten, nine central)! That was funny, but then, the network aired a even better one with James eating Cheese Puffs, sitting next to Tony! That one was even funnier! So I started watching. I loved the banter between James and Dulé! I started taping the show after He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not...Oops He is Dead.
Once the show arrived on DVD for Season One, I was definitely hooked! And like you it seems my obession grows with every half season!!!

We'll forgive you! You came back and realized the truth, that's all that really matters anyway.

Yes, we forgive you. So long as you have since come to your senses about Psych
I've posted this before on here somewhere, but who knows where that thread has ventured off to. During the summer of 06 I was stage managing a show at a local theatre. I was there all the time. I had seen numerous commercials for the show because we all know how USA promotes their new conquests, and Psych looked good and I wanted to watch but we were right in the middle of our tech stuff when it premiered. I ran out of the house that evening for a six hour long rehearsal and it slipped my mind to record it. Once the show I was working on ended in early August I was up and caught the Pilot at midnight on August 8th (yes, I remember the date, no I'm not ashamed ). It's been love ever since. I caught a marathon a few days after that, got caught up and have been hooked since.

I saw an ad for Psych and intentionally set out to watch the premiere. I haven't missed a single episode yet! Add the message boards and psychfic.com to the equation and I can honestly say my obsession/addiction is complete.

I haven't missed any episodes yet, but I did have to demand that my family record the last few of the first half of season 2. I was in England and they just don't show it over there!

*GASP* England deserves some happiness too!!
I know! For about a week of the time I was over there I stayed with some friends who are in the Air Force and they could watch it, but it was a season behind. I may have been able to stream the current episodes online, but my laptop didn't have any sound so it wouldn't have done me any good anyway.

Well I'm happy I'm in the middle of a forgiving bunch Now I'm the crazy person who has little pineapples lining the top of her computer monitor at work. (not the most comforting feeling when people start wondering about the office shrink!)
What's so funny is that I've always hated interrogation rooms, but now I really don't mind them at all!
Most importantly, I'm glad to have the forgiveness of an officer of the CMP^2
