It's not only laugh-out-loud-until-soda-squirts-out-of-your-nose funny, but it's also perfectly cast.

"Psych" is one of those happy collisions of an intelligent script and an appealing cast.

If you like "Monk," you'll probably love this show, which may actually be even more enjoyable.

Granted, the premise is a stretch. But the gimmick allows for some clever comic jibes while creating some useful dramatic tension between Shawn and the cops, Shawn and his father, and Shawn and his best friend.

It takes itself seriously pretty much not at all, which is precisely what we want at 10 p.m. on a summer Friday.

The lighthearted "Psych" charms even as it duplicates the structure and tone of "Monk."

As is the case of "Monk'' at its best, ["Psych"] isn't as much about the crime mysteries as it is a vehicle for lighthearted fun.

As with Monk, the crime is largely an afterthought. Psych similarly serves up murder as a fluffy soufflé, but what a tasty way to end the week.

There are holes to fill, though, before this show gets up to "Monk" level. What's encouraging is that it starts solidly and has a chance to find itself.
