I love psych and i been watching that show
Seens it came out i hope they bring it back
I have been truly enjoying the show because it was a family show. Now Sean is shacking up rather than marrying and that spoils the entire thing. What ever happened to supporting family?
I have been watching the new season. Did they change the writers? Not funny like before. I wish they could have maintained the momentum of the past. Now no Monk, and no Psych.
I love this program the two lead characters are great they play off of each other better than anyone I’ve see in a long time. keep them together and on the TV
I love the show it is very funny,I always look forward to seeing it. I hope they bring it back, why is it when they have a good clean funny show you don’t know much about it’s furture. Please bring it back.

I LUV Psych they took Monk from me-now its Psych that keeps me goin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know!! I loved Monk!!
YES!!!!!!
I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS SERIES!! JULY 21ST IS A SPECIAL DATE IN MY HEART!
Psych is my favorite show! I also loved Monk but it was time for him to “retire”. If Psych continues to be like it has been then I am a fan for the duration. I hope it does not become dark and serious. All the comical banter between characters is what makes it so lovable and so fun! Thanks!
I am soooo excited that Psych is coming back. I think the show is funny, original, entertaining, etc, etc. It should stay on for at least 10 years or so. Thanks for renewing it.
Yeah!!
I am thrilled that Psych is coming back for a fifth season. Each season keeps getting better. Thanks U.S.A. I hope it never ends.
