Finally Psych gets recognized. It's an amazing show, but so unpopular. Everything about it is awesome, like the acting, jokes that are so out of place that they some how work, and mystery/action. Never met someone who couldn't find something to like in this show.
I love this show it should be number one
2 The X Files
