    when oliver shows up

    seriously, one that really bothers me was Psych. my all-time fav buddy comedy. when the primary premise of the show is no longer on display, its time to wrap it up.

    as the series wore on they relied less and less on ‘shawns gift’, and the magic was gone. they moved away from made the show great… a guy succeeding with a unique talent despite himself. a comedic-ally driven contemporary sherlock holmes trope.

    the subsequent movies doubled down on not using his talents and so they are even worse than the final years of the show.
