Mr. Monk and the Employee of the Month
When Edna Coruthers, a model employee at a giant chain store called Mega-Mart, is killed by a falling television set, Monk is called in to investigate by the store's security chief – who turns out to be his disgraced ex-partner, Joe Christie. Neither Monk nor Stottlemeyer wants to work with Christie, whom they hold responsible for some missing cocaine and the death of two police officers, and both of them disregard the evidence that Edna might have been murdered – a broken shoe heel (suggesting that the victim ran from someone or something), her dust allergy (which normally kept her from entering the loading dock where the death occurred), and the three letters (in different handwriting but with similar stamps) complaining about the victim. Twenty-seven days later, realizing that the stamps were all from the same roll and therefore from the same person, Monk reluctantly agrees to help Christie discover a suspect and a motive by working undercover as a store clerk.

If you're looking for a television series that combines humor with mystery, look no further than the iconic show Psych. Premiering on July 7, 2006, and captivating audiences for eight seasons until March 26, 2014, this American detective comedy-drama created by Steve Franks has become a beloved classic. Starring James Roday as the charmingly eccentric Shawn Spencer—a man with an eidetic memory who's convinced everyone he's a psychic—this show offers a unique twist on crime-solving that keeps viewers entertained from start to finish.
The premise of Psych is simple yet intriguing: Shawn’s exceptional observational skills lead him into trouble when he gets arrested for calling in an accurate tip about a crime. To avoid being charged, he spins an elaborate tale that he possesses psychic abilities. Joining him in his misadventures is his best friend Burton "Gus" Guster, played by the talented Dulé Hill. Together they establish their own detective agency called "Psych," providing comedic relief while working closely with the Santa Barbara Police Department (SBPD). The dynamic between Shawn and Gus is one of the show's highlights; their playful banter and camaraderie make for some truly memorable moments.
Each episode kicks off with a flashback to Shawn's childhood, showcasing lessons learned from his father—a former police officer—and how these experiences connect to each case they tackle. For instance, in Season 1 Episode 1, after being arrested due to his uncanny knack for solving crimes, Shawn is asked to help investigate a kidnapping case. This leads to hilarity as he navigates his new role without revealing that he’s not actually psychic. Each storyline interweaves elements of mystery with lighthearted comedy—a formula that resonates well with fans of shows like Monk, The Mentalist, or even more comedic offerings like Scrubs.
