What is Castle about? I like Nathan Fillion but I've never seen the show.

Also can someone fill me in on what Psych is about?

Has it's moments. That one Jersey guy really brings nothing to the table.


Does Mythbusters still come on? Or did they finally run out of things to shoot out of a cannon?

Pysch is about awesomeness.

I'd explain it, but I feel someone else could do a better job.

The gist of it is a crime-solving duo. One is a "psychic" (in reality, he just has acute observation skills). The other is a pharmaceutical rep, basically his sidekick. They get into all sorts of shenanigans.

I've seen the commercials and it appears that the 2 stars have great buddy chemistry but other than that, I have no idea what it is about.

Garbage. The UK version is head and shoulders above it.

Added this after your reply.

"The gist of it is a crime-solving duo. One is a "psychic" (in reality, he just has acute observation skills). The other is a pharmaceutical rep, basically his sidekick. They get into all sorts of shenanigans."

Its a comedy. So it's not an overly serious crime show. It's unrealistic, but that's what you expect from it.

I would highly suggest you check out at least an episode or two. New season starts Tuesday. There was a big cliffhanger to end last season, but you could still enjoy the show if you pick it up with the new season and go back and watch the older seasons later.

on this board: Person of Interest

I only say that because there's really not alot of threads about it......ever.

But the ratings say it's one of CBS' most watched shows.

I might check it out. I'm not so much into fluff type shows or comedies unless they are really well done. How many seasons have there been?

Another poster said I could enjoy it even if i jump in now.

The premise is he is a crime novelist that used a favor by the Governor of New York to get him in the NYPD to shadow a female detective named Kate Beckett. He writes books about Beckett's adventures and bases a character called Nikki Heat off of her.

He helps solve every case she handles by using "What would a writer do here" ideas.

The cast and stories are top notch. It's worth checking out.

To each his own. The US version has really come into it's own and pulled away a bit from the UK version's formula.

It's very entertaining and the Jersey guy is great for one thing. Wrecking cars spectacularly. When he jumped that Caddie in season one it one of the funniest moments of any Top Gear show I had ever seen.

season 8 is about to start.. i wouldnt just pick it up now much better to watch from the beginning and there was kinda a big cliffhanger last season so it will ruin some stuff for you. And its better if you have the characters set up for you. will make it a lot more funny

I think checking out an episode or two to see if you like it wouldn't hurt.

If you have Netflix, I'd watch from the beginning. Though the first season starts off kinda slow in my opinion, so it might not be the best way to see if you like the show.
