Friday Nights Are New Again
So last Friday started up new eps of Monk and Psych on USA. I’m happy that the new season (or the second half of the season, with all new eps) has started. I watched Psych first cause I was busy watching Moonlight at 9 pm.
I really love Psych. I forget that sometimes, cause it seems like there’s just a few new eps before it’s all over and then such a long time between new eps. But whatever, I’m over it.
The entire cast is just so funny. They all seem so perfectly in tune with each other so that everything is right on cue. The ep itself, about Gus having been married once before and now his wife wants a divorce, was pretty funny, but it was made even funnier by the antics and repartee of Shawn and Gus. I think maybe one of the things I like the most about it, is that it’s just quietly good. It’s not one of those loud splashy shows that makes a big deal about itself and wants everyone to know.
Monk, on the otherhand, was just OK. Somehow I expected better. Maybe it was the topic or just that I saw it after Psych and when I was tired, but it wasn’t too funny. I guess I really needed funny. The ep was about a cult leader that the police believed had murdered a young girl who ran away from the commune. The ep was just so seriouis, Monk gets sucked into the cult, denounces his love for Trudy and turns from his friends. I just couldn’t find the funny in that. Hopefully, this week will be better.
