Psych -- A Super Fantastic Show!
Psych has about four million viewers each week on the USA network. For some reason, however, the program hasn't become the cultural institution it deserves to be, especially amongst young people. I suspect that in time this will all be amended: when the wheat is separated from the chaff, Psych will always come out on top.
The narrative format of Psych is conventional, and the production design is generic. Even so, every week Franks, Roday, et al., manage to draw water from a stone with an incredible cast, a quick humor, and a bright sincerity.

I know this is considered acceptable in today's world, but it's frankly, offensive to others.
