oh I haven't seen Psych but he is absolutely delightful and wacky in Evil! His character takes him to some very strange places.

The "Evil" psychiatrist Dr. Kurt Boggs, a middle-aged white man with a short white beard and a blue tie, seated at his desk with a manuscript, a laptop, and a possessed toy record player with a carousel decoration.

as the show taught us, it's important to celebrate the power of the written word!
