Chuck by a lot. And I liked Psych, but I thought Chuck was really special. Perfect casting; great chemistry

Love both shows.

I think what hurt Chuck the most was they never knew if it was going to be their last season. So they would completely tie up the storyline and couldnt make arcs carry over really.

Love Chuck and Psych. If you made me choose one I would take Psych

It kept him from being arrested in the very first episode. It kept him a paying job that he actually liked. It allowed him and Gus to do their detective work outside of the law to get his info for his psychic “visions.” There are other things that could be spoilers.

Psych is the best; The Mentalist is really good too if you've never checked it out.

I think Psych stays good longer, but it’s kind of a toss up.

I find myself quoting Psych a good bit. Plenty of funny one liners but I think the cast had great chemistry. I don't think the writing would have worked for just any cast.

I never knew about Psych until after it was completed but it has grown into one of my favorite comedies of all time. They are about my age so all of the subtle humor and pop culture references are in my wheelhouse.

The plots are decent but it's more about the humor for me with Psych.

I've heard of Chuck but have never seen it.

Like the rest of thread Psych is better consistently but they don’t have Yvonne so there’s that

If you like Psych you should absolutely give Chuck a try. Chuck is an average guy forced to work with spies/military, so there's more action and plot, but the sense of humor is very similar and has a lot of similar pop culture references.

Now fight in the death for my amusement!
only difference is Woody>>>Awesome

But overall Psych is better than Chuck

Here's what Chuck has going for it

I still have yet to meet a handful of these psych characters so that's exciting

John Casey is one of my favorite characters of all time.

John Casey was good, but for me it was knowing his firefly character (Jane, maybe?) that made his character great.
