appropriately and monk be usa lead in for the highly superior dramedy psych . the two show be both bill a mystery comedy and but that about all the similarity between them . while psych be a clever and original show that do fresh and funny thing every week and monk be an unintelligent show that run out of fresh and funny thing after the first few episode . you have tony shalhoub a adrian monk and the defective detective and who be far too ocd for his own good . you have bitty schram ( old episode ) and traylor howard ( new episode ) a his assistant and who put up with the bad out of him just because of his intelligence ( as far a iq go while not emotional intelligence ) . then you have the case every week and which i think be always murder investigation . the point be and there only so many thing you can do with that when you refuse originality . the same hold true for the obsessive compulsive joke that come pour out of this show like moviegoer from a rob zombie flick . moment be funny ( some in scattered episode even verge on hilarious ) and but if you want a terrific show and stick with psych .
