Private Eyes*

Since I am currently spending a the week in Detective Training, I thought I would share what my favorite Detective shows are that are currently on television.

Life
In this show, the hero has recently been released from prison for a murder he was wrongfully accused of. He has also been rewarded a large settlement from the City of Los Angeles and reinstated to a position as Detective. You can catch it on NBC.

Monk
Billed as "The Obsessive Compulsive Detective", Monk is a former police officer with very bad OCD that also happens to be an exceptional Detective and makes his living doing consulting for the San Francisco PD.

Psych
Psych highlights a guy that was trained from childhood to be an investigator from his retired cop father. Now, he runs a private investigations firm pretending to be psychic, but really using his investigative skills to solve crime. It's much funnier than I make it sound, and, along with Monk, can be found on the USA network.


*Private Eyes is the name of a Time Conway/Don Knotts movie about a couple of bumbling detectives trying to solve a murder in a hauntingly scary British manor. They were actually supposed to be from Scotland Yard, I think, so they were technically not "Private Eyes".
