I have always been a fan of Psych. Believe me - it doesn’t end with just looking at Psych pictures on the internet and downloading tons of their wallpaper for my laptop. No, it takes more than that. And it takes more than knowing that the show is about a fake psychic who does detective services for the police department. Believe me, that don’t even cross the border between ho-hum and passive fan obsession. Being a true and genuine fan means knowing the characters by heart, and appreciating their uniqueness and contribution to the show. And believe me; the show really has a lot of quirky people that keeps it entertaining and fun. Here are some characters that make Psych a really good TV series to watch:

Shawn "Shawn" Spencer (played by James Roday). Yes, he's the fake psychic who works with the Santa Barbara Police Department. And yes, those uber policemen who are expected to use their brains actually believe the dude is a true psychic (except for Lassie). However weird and stupid the badge wearers have become, it is still admirable how Roday gives justice to Shawn Spencer's character. Not only does he uses subtle finesse in delivering his comic lines, but his tremendous charm actually makes Shawn Spencer look like he can get away with anything -- and usually, he does.

Burton "Gus" Guster (played by Dule Hill). Yes, he's the lovable sidekick of Shawn. What would the show be without the light-hearted banterings between the best of friends, right? Dule adds a freshness to his character, and his facial expressions really make the chemistry between Shaw and Guster really shine. Aside from that, I’ve noticed that Dule has tremendously proportionate facial features. So what does it have to do with his character? Nothing -- I just wanted to point out that he really looks good on television.

Henry Spencer (played by Corbin Bernsen). Of course, there should be someone serious to ground Shawn, right? Well, enter "Daddy" Spencer. The strict, perfectionist, straight-laced father of Shawn is really a pain in the butt, and Corbin really plays his character convincingly well. What’s more, you get to see a lot of Hawaiian-looking shirts that looked like it came from a different planet altogether.

Juliet O' Hara (played by Maggie Lawson). She's the pretty, Barbie doll - like police detective who is also the apple of Shawn's eye. The two have an amazing chemistry on screen, and it shows up all the time. Another thing that Maggie's Juliet does is that it lightens the atmosphere in the police department. In a building where testosterone can reach pivotal levels, Juliet's character makes the show more feminine and light.

Carlton Lassiter (played by Tim Omundson). The proverbial grouch who thinks he is better than everyone else, Tim plays Carlton convincingly well. If his goal is to garner hate mails and profanities from Shawn's fans, then Tim should get an Academy award for outstanding performance...for the rest of his life.

Karen Vick (played by Kirsten Nelson). She is the captain who believes in Shawn. It’s quite strange -- aren’t these kinds supposed to be the smartest of the bunch? Well, anyway, Kirsten plays the “chief” quite well, although sometimes, her character is overpowered by Lassiter’s angst over everyone who looks like they can breathe on their own.

So, what does it take to be a Psych fan again? Aside from what I said earlier, there is one last important thing -- and that is you watch all the shows religiously. Try watching it sometime. You might become a fan and collect Psych pictures and download their wallpaper just as I do. Don’t worry - your secret’s safe with me.

My wife has a huge thing for Sex and the City so, when I arrived home from one of my self-employed courier jobs, I wasn't surprised to see her slumped out in-front of her favourite box set. Watching it with her got me wondering, what if the four thirty-somethings weren't sophisticated New Yorkers, but rather four down-to-earth couriers holding down self-employed courier jobs in good old Blighty?
People all over the country have been watching television for a long time. There are many options for people when it comes to the things that they can watch. Let's look at some of the popular choices that are around.
research tells us that most young children start watching television before they start going to school. Two-thirds of toddlers and young infants watch an average of two hours per day whilst kids and teens between the ages of eight and eighteen tend to spend roughly four hours each day in front of a television. On top of this they spend an additional two hours on their computers, playing video games or doing school work.
Many parents will disagree, but there are certain positive elements of television for children. Many of us will have grown up watching shows like sesame street which show positive effects on children's development. Shows like this help to improve literacy, cultural awareness, imagination and how to deal with feelings. The following are a few ways for television to be a positive influence in a child's life.
For many people all over the world the television has become an important part of household. Children spend far too many hours sat in front of their flat screens than they should and waste time that could otherwise be spent on far more productive and positive activities. Parents need to monitor and restrict a child's viewing habits in order to shield them from some of the negative effects that the television can have on a child's mind and health.
With the expansion of internet and computers, less and less people watch movies on television and tend to use their laptops or desktop computers for that purpose. With sites offering to watch movies online legally, buying a DVD or renting it is becoming out of trend and is dying out. People prefer saving space by simply storing the movies they get on an external hard drive or directly on the hard drive of their computer rather than having a small case for each DVD they own and then put them on shelves.
As much as new television program goes, Smallville will never fall under such a category. Presently on its 8th term, a record that only a few franchises ever attain, Smallville is imprinted in TV records as one of the greatest operating shows ever since the innovation of the television set. It is stated in the same breath as the Simpsons, the X-Files, CSI and Seinfeld, and ER, all of which are TV heavyweights what with their total influence on general society in addition to their long, long, long lifespan gracing our television sets.
