Most of my life, I've been a fan of classic mystery series - Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew (when I was WAYYY younger, mind you), et al. Well, that and Sci-Fi... but who DOESN'T like to get their geek on once and a while? (Or in my case whenever I'm not watching/thinking Psych/Burn Notice)
Shawn, imho, IS Sherlock Holmes, only snarkier, sexier, and just plain stranger. It's as if Sherlock Holmes was bred with Captain Kirk. He's got the Cocky know-it-all mind, and that playful streak a mile and a half wide; while at the same time, he's brilliant, he can put together the smallest details and knows how to make that leap of faith in his own abilities, to figure out the puzzle.
He is fantastically written, and the rest of the characters play each aspect of an ensemble wonderfully.
They throw in tiny nuggets of fanboyism, and pop culture. Some that I actually KNOW! Considering I'm a late 80s/early 90s chick myself, my knowledge of modern pop culture is so low, I'd fail any modern quiz.
The characters are, while wild and completely nutters, also believable. I love the progression of their relationships, how they're evolving as friends, as co-workers, and as 'enemies' or whatever sibling style relationship Shawn and Lassie have.
I'm a huge fan of character developement, and deep plots. This series gives a good blend of each, while keeping it witty and fresh enough that even kids can watch it and enjoy. It is, all and all, brilliant and fantastically cast. And I REALLY wish we didn't have to wait another TWO BLOODY MONTHS!
(PS, OT: Whatever happened to Lil Shawn and Gus? Those sketches were hilarious!)

I've noticed that about your people, doctor. You find it easier to understand the death of one than the death of a million. You speak about the objective hardness of the Vulcan heart. Yet how little room there seems to be in yours.Suffer the death of thy neighbour, eh spock? Now you wouldn't wish that on us, would you?It might have rendered your history a bit less bloody. ~~~~~~ Ooh Gus! Good news, shower for two.~~~~~~ Good morning, detectives! Collecting donations for the policeman's ball?
We don't have balls.
*Shawn stares blankly at him*
I honestly have no response to that.
Need I remind you, Mr. Spencer, what happens when you interfere with a police investigation?
Uhh…the case gets solved?
