The Japanese need some hobbies.... *blinks* I say we send them some Psych DVD's. LOL
Well, I can only speculate why Psych might seem out of place in a Japanese context:
1) Not enough food being shown. Now, if every episode were like "Meat is Murder...", then Japanese audiences would be really receptive (remember, this is the country that brought us "Iron Chef").
2) A classic J-drama cliche - either a close friend (or lover) has to die in some freak accident or a serious ailment (I'm serious). Would you want Gus to go through either of those things?

Comedy programs in Japan, on the other hand, are just zanier on average compared to their Western counterparts. Outrageous sets, characters, everything.
