can't believe there are people out there who'll be fully leaned into the parker autism hc but the idea of nate with autism just is like "mmm i think not"

nate?? nathan ford??? the guy who got a statistics degree for fun??? the guy who plans all the complicated cons, that nathan ford???? the one who is an asshole but keeps his friends around???? the one who is an asshole and alienates people wherever he goes???? the one who so easily can put on a show as much as the next guy???? the one who says a line and then walks out of the room without stopping to think if this is normal??? that nathan ford???

Psych (2006) really is just "Hi, we're detectives with the police department, and here's this weird guy who follows us around. No we can't stop him. We like him. Also here's his best friend. We can't stop him either. We tried."

the beauty of early 2000s shows is that they just... stuck to the bit. You watch this show to see a neurodiverent man solve crime with his best friend, you will get that for 8 seasons. We said this show would be about an ex-spy and his employer who built an AI and the people they save. They will do it even when they admit in the show it makes no sense because that's what you signed up for. Leverage commited so much that they got a modern version that still does the same thing instead of being 6 episode seasons about one big con.

I miss "filler" episodes, but they aren't filler because that's what you signed up for! that's why you watch the show! to see them do the thing you started watching the show for!

one of the funniest psych gimmicks is james roday rodriguez bringing out his spanish for the sole purpose of making shawn the most confusing character possible

Psych answers the question of "what if we took sherlock holmes and gave him adhd instead of autism" and i think thats beautiful

Dulé Hill as Burton Guster in PSYCH (2006—2014)

ok one of psychs funniest meta gags is how a popular media property will exist & be referenced regularly in universe but when the actors from that property show up as guest stars in the show theres NO acknowledgement of it. shawn knows every brat pack movie half by heart but when he meets ally sheedy the fake serial killer he never once comments on how similar she looks to ally sheedy the actress. there are like 20 karate kid AND my cousin vinny references including a literal picture of ralph macchio in that one scene but no one notices that officer conforth Is Literally The Same Guy. shawn and gus are lowkey genuine star trek nerds and spend a whole episode gaslighting Real Life George Takei but when william shatner shows up in the flesh hes just juliets loser dad. not even a passing "hey, you look familiar" joke. its SO funny.

Tuesday the 17th is truly the episode of all time. Shawn, Gus, and Jules are having a wild fake-murder-into-real-murder summer camp adventure in the A plot while Lassie gets divorced in the B plot. There is no overlap between the two plots, no thematic ties that make it cohesive. Just a silly, wacky mystery that occasionally cuts to a sad guy sitting sadly at a table.

an interviewer calling James Rodriguez and Dulé Hill the “most funny, diverse nonromantic power couple on TV” only for them to correct him and repeatedly insist for the rest of the show that they are actually the “most funny, diverse, romantic non-power couple” is the best thing ive ever seen
