If you rolled your eyes yesterday at Tony Shalhoub’s sixth consecutive Emmy nomination for best actor in a comedy series, I’m thinking that maybe you just haven’t seen Monk. It returns tonight (USA, 9 p.m. ET) for a seventh season. Check out an old clip after the jump, featuring the late Stanley Kamel. (Monk’s new shrink will be played by Hector Elizondo.) If you still don’t get it, I give you permission to sound off in the comments section.
Psych, perhaps TV’s most underappreciated detective show (see: the ‘Psycho’ headline I found this morning), also returns tonight with new episodes (USA, 10 p.m. ET). If our classic PopWatch Duel between stars James Roday and Dulé Hill didn’t make you want to give it a shot, the clip after the jump might finally do the trick. (Or, this parody of American Idol? The show is riddled with pop culture references.)
Do we have Monk and Psych fans on PopWatch?

Psych, yes! Thanks for the reminder. Didn’t Shawn and Jules almost kiss at the end of last season? Why DID she skip that chance?
I love both Monk AND Psych. Shawn and Gus are one of the best duos on television, and despite Monk’s flaws, Shaloub always makes it worth watching.
Never been a big Monk fan, but I really like Psych. I watched a couple of West Wing episodes the other day and remembered what a great actor Dule Hill is. To be able to switch from subtle drama to over-the-top comedy is a rare gift.
I love me some Psych! I’m so glad this show is back. Never watched Monk. Don’t plan to either. Sorry.
Yay! Monk and Psych (along with Burn Notice) are the best part of summer!
I am a huge Psych fan. I can’t wait to see new episodes.
LOVE PSYCH!!!
I was into Monk for a couple seasons, but I got tired of it. Besides, it’s on at the same time as Doctor Who! I’m still a big Psych fan, though, and I plan to watch tonight.
I watch Psych, but I’ll admit that some of the episode are pretty weak.
Since we have two young kids, we hardly ever go out on Friday nights. Monk and Psych just gives us another excuse to stay in.
I love Psych! It’s the perfect follow up to Doctor Who. So naturally I’m thrilled it’s back on tonight. Although, I’ll miss the premier because I will be watching “The Dark Knight” but whatever, that’s what Tivo is for.
I got the second season of Psych on DVD last week and sadly spent a LARGE portion of last weekend watching and rewatching it. There are just so many big jokes, little jokes and pop culture references that never cease to entertain.
I looooove Psych, and am really excited for it to come back tonight. Monk… not so much. I watched it for a few years, but haven’t watched in a while. It’s just not that good – and sorry, but no way should Tony Shaloub have beaten out the likes of Steve Carell and Jason Bateman at the Emmys. The character in general just isn’t that funny. I’m just saying.
Huzzah for Psych! It’s so consistently fun and entertaining, the perfect summer program.
(Though I must mention I was a bit let down that “Wipeout” and “The Hills” got previews in your summer issue, while Psych didn’t even get a blurb.)
Huge Psych fan here!
I’m definitely a Psych fan. It never fails to make me laugh. I’m sad though because I don’t get USA anymore so I miss Burn Notice and Psych when they’re on. I know Burn Notice is on hulu but will USA have full episodes of Psych on there? They always seem a little unpredictable about Psych episodes…
Psych is hilarious! The episode with the telenovella is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
Psych is a great show, highly underappreciated.
ps — If you are a fan of this type of light humor, maybe give The Middleman, Mondays at 10pm, ABC Family, a try. Very silly over-the-top Men In Black type show.
It just started a few weeks ago.
Love love love the boys on Psych! Best buddy comedy since Bosom Buddies. I’m so excited that it’s back on. I wish itunes was still selling the psych episodes.

My favorite shows on TV! So glad that they’re back!
I love Psych! Can’t wait to watch it tonight!
Psych is awesome. Too bad they stopped having it on itunes because I would download/buy every ep after airing!
Thanks for the link to that Dual, which is indeed classic.
Monk & Psych are permanently set on my DVR, & i watch a lot of the reruns.
My husband, two teens and I all watch Monk and Psych, and have been waiting impatiently for it to return. In fact, I was all ready to turn to it last week when I realized that I was jumping the gun.
I second the recommendation for The Middleman–one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve watched in a while.
I love both Monk & Psych!
So exciteds!
I’m so glad these shows are back. They make me happy.
Love Monk and Psych so much! I usually end up watching them with my mom. I’m sorry Monk isn’t getting a lot of love – it’s funny, it’s clever, it’s got an awesome cast. Sorry, but you guys plainly don’t know what you’re missing.
I love Psych! My favorite episode is the one where Shawn has the cat help him solve the crime. I love the Shawn has the cat buckled in the front seat.
And I must second Meghan’s comment- Psych is so underrated that it didn’t even warrant a mention in EW’s Summer TV preview, not even a blurb in the best of the rest. Yet Hurl!, Celebrity Family Feud and Greatest American Dog get covered?
Haven’t watched Monk since Sharona left.
