Almost 10 years after it first premiered, Psych remains one of the most beloved detective comedies, partially due to the premise behind Shawn Spencer’s character and his “powers.” With a unique spin on the classic police procedural, Psych has stood out with its clever references and comedic timing, even creating several Psych parody episodes based on pop-culture hits like The Shining. Psych is different from other detective shows because it introduced a niche to the procedural genre: a fake psychic solving real crimes.
