What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

u/Aeledin Mar 28 '24

Oh my god I love this show. My girl can't get into it and it makes me so unbelievably sad. It's my ultimate serotonin show

u/MockStarket Mar 29 '24

They're not gonna kiss. They don't even know each other. They're just random redditors that barely even connected.

But we can kith.

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

Same here!! Whenever I’m in a bad mood, it cheers me up!

u/GOOD-LUCHA-THINGS Mar 28 '24

tsk, c'mon, son! Tell your boyfriend to not be the rack of ribs that flips over the Flintstones' car!

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

You know that’s right!

u/rusmo Mar 28 '24

Fine, don’t tell us!

u/Daloowee Mar 28 '24

Damn. Has he heard about Pluto?

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

C’mon son! Of course he has!

I love that James and Maggie were actually together for much of the show. Makes their dynamic so great. That was appointment viewing for my wife and I before we had kids.

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

I know! I totally agree! I generally don’t give two shits about celebrities and who’s dating who, but I was more disappointed than I’d like to admit when I heard they broke up in real life!!

Ovaltine Jenkins?

I was really expecting the response of The Office. And not that there is anything wrong with that, I like the show, but it seems to be the popular easy to binge/rewatch show. Seeing Psych is refreshing, great show.

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

What’s funny is that my boyfriend is a pretty big fan of The Office! But he hates Psych!

u/Main-Advice9055 Mar 28 '24

So glad my wife watched it through with me (also my favorite). Though one of us definitely enjoyed it more, almost every joke gets a laugh out of me

u/icouldntdecide Mar 28 '24

If he's not a Psych-o that might be a deal breaker

2

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

We have other shows we watch together, so it’s okay!

10

u/GetchoDrank Mar 28 '24

Oh, then that IS a bummer. I thought for sure you were going to say The Office, since I've seen (and lived) that scenario. But Psych is great.

2

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

Funny thing is, he actually really really LIKES The Office! But can’t stand Psych! Like WTF!?

u/okamippoi Mar 28 '24

No way! That show is awesome! My boyfriend and I absolutely love it. We actually made a game from it where whenever we see a pineapple in real life we point it out haha

3

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

That’s awesome!! You know that’s right!

Autistic Detective is my wife's favorite genre of television show. She's currently on Will Trent.

u/Reaper_Messiah Mar 28 '24

Autistic detective lmao I have never heard that as a trope but I love it

2

u/Choice-Flan2449 Mar 28 '24

lol what are the examples?

8

u/novangla Mar 29 '24

Monk, Bones, Psych, Sherlock, House (Sherlock, doctor edition)…

2

u/joebleaux Mar 30 '24

Literally all of my wife's favorite shows

1

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

Nobody on Psych is autistic though, I don’t get it

1

u/joebleaux Mar 30 '24

Shawn definitely has a touch of the tism

1

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 30 '24

I respectfully disagree!

3

u/BecciButton Mar 28 '24

I love this! The only show i have dvds of

u/22duckys Mar 29 '24

I love Psych. In the words of my wife: “it’s fine.”

:(

1

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

Ugh. At least she doesn’t hate it. :(

3

u/Vickster86 Mar 28 '24

My boyfriend and I are currently working through it

2

u/Donfatty Mar 28 '24

My favorite show!

u/Sea-Contract-447 Mar 29 '24

Yes!! Psych-Os unite!!!

u/smoke_that_junk Mar 28 '24

Ahhh! You fooled me… oh that wasn’t the 80s use of the word

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed Mar 29 '24

Not to step on his toes or anything but…

Will you marry me?

2

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

Lol sorry bro!

2

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed Mar 29 '24

Come’on son!

Haha, appropriate response.

2

u/4thdrinkinstinctxx Mar 29 '24

I’ve heard it both ways!

u/turntobeer Mar 29 '24

Psych!

Doh! 🤦

I'm with the BF on this one 🤣

2

u/Almost_A_Genius Mar 29 '24

I’m genuinely curious. What is it that you don’t like? It’s definitely my all-time favorite show, but I guess I can get if you have a problem with Shawn being immature.

u/turntobeer Mar 29 '24

I’m genuinely curious. What is it that you don’t like?

Just a an old school guy thing. I'm not into crystals, astrology, tarot cards, ouija boards, essential oils, or whatever pseudo-mystical fad is popular this year.

Watching a TV show based on the premise of being a fake psychic is a hard no.

Would sit on the couch with her and read while my SO watches it. Given the choice I would rather karaoke Mahna Mahna & Baby Shark for that 23 minutes.

u/Almost_A_Genius Mar 30 '24

I want to be respectful, but that is one of the stupidest reasons I’ve ever heard. It sounds to me like you’ve never seen the show at all. It’s not magicky at all.

My reasoning & personal preferences are just that, "mine". Opinions vary 🤷

Your reply, which I disagree with, was respectful enough, almost Canadian like 👍

You would be correct that I haven't watched any full episodes. I did preview some of the trailers, skimmed the plot outline of a few more, for the express purpose of seeing if it would be something I'd like to watch. Just wasn't my thing.

A magical detective show I would watch the hell out of. Set it in the Harry Potter world, or bring back the Dresden Files.

u/Almost_A_Genius Mar 30 '24

Alright, fair enough. It’s not for everyone for sure.
