I wonder if the people who are drawn to post on a romance thread and the people who are fans of the silly comedy-mystery "Psych" intersect at all. I find it can be one of the most romantic shows ever, but then, I love the characters and watching crazy people fall into devoted love is somehow doubly romantic.

Best romantic moment is a wordless one: A handwritten note, pressed up against the glass that separates a very strait-laced and uptight cop from the genuinely guilty woman he's just arrested, whom he's visiting in jail. They've spent a total of maybe two hours together, counting the arrest. His note says:

"I will wait for you these six to eighteen months. See you next Wednesday."

It's not some outsized declaration of love or hot moment of passion or huge gesture, but it's a perfectly in-character moment of complete, irreversible dedication.

That sounds sweet! I have to watch that show. I would recommend to you “The Mentalist.” The love story in the final two seasons is well worth waiting for.[/quote]

PP to whom you're responding. "Psych" name-drops and makes fun of "The Mentalist" quite a few times in later seasons! The concepts were similar, one a comedic take and the other more serious, but since "Psych" was around first (started its run two years earlier), the show enjoyed poking at "The Mentalist." I've never seen the latter, mostly because I figure I would have a hard time taking it seriously after watching "Psych" mock it (affectionately), but I'll absolutely give it a try. Thanks! (Plus, that Patrick Jane guy is most watchable, I do believe.) [/quote]

Simon Baker is, indeed, fantastic. It's a really good show. I've heard good things about "Psych," I've just never got around to it but will now. Simon Baker is also amazing in "Margin Call"--that movie is soooo good, and I think it's on Netflix right now.[/quote]

Pro tip from the Psych fan here -- skip the show's pilot episode. There were changes to characters and overall tone between the pilot and the second episode. You won't miss much, and can watch it later on. All you need to know to start with the second episode is that hyper-observant slacker Shawn is back in town, calls in tips on crimes to make reward money, and is so accurate he gets accused of being involved in the crimes. He pretends to be a psychic to get off the hook, and starts a (faux) psychic detective agency with his much more conventional-seeming (at first!) best friend. The show really develops characters over time so not everyone's going to stay the way you see them in S1! OK, over and out, I'll stop....[/quote]

Excuse me, but Anne Dudek is in the pilot. Always watch Anne Dudek in anything [/quote]
