Double Up Contest! Win Monk and Psych Prize Packs
Posted by Robert Fure (robert@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 17, 2008
When I got word of this opportunity I just had to pass it along to all of you, my friends (hi mom! that about takes care of all my readers). This Friday, July 18th two critically acclaimed shows return to USA Networks: Monk and Psych.
If you haven’t watched either of these, you must not have cable - hey how did you get the internet? 
Monk follows the amazingly talented investigator with a delicate mental state and a whole host of obsessive compulsive disorders Adrian Monk as he takes on a variety of jobs or just helps out the local PD. Joining the cast this year will be Monk’s new psychiatrist, played by the talented Hector Elizondo. Actor Stanley Kamel sadly passed recently, having played the role of Monk’s psychiatrist for several seasons.
The second show premiering is among my very short list of favorite television - Psych. This always fun show follows Shawn Spencer, a fake psychic with alarmingly keen observational powers and his close friend, Burton “Gus” Guster, his partner and pharmaceutical salesmen. Joining the cast this year is veteran actor Cybil Shephard as Shawn’s mother - his father is another recognizable face, Corbin Bernsen. This show never fails to entertain with star James Roday a constant source of sly comments and whimsical looks while working on some amusing cases. I definitely recommend this show and give it my seal of approval.
But all you really care about is the goods, don’t you? Well how about we hook two lucky winners up with everything in this pretty little picture:
Awesome, I know. Now for the official rundown.
- Psych Season 1 on DVD

I’d use my detective skills for good (and money). How? Sorry, but my detective skills have taught me that it’s best to not go blabbing about my cases in public…
July 17th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I’d use my detective skills to like…solve problems…and stuff.
July 17th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I would use it for good and money. Having a keen eye for things would allow me to tell if someone is lying. Therefore i can change my career and be a successful yet rich laywer
July 17th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
I’d use my detective skills for good of man, public safety, and, of course… the money. Hey, a detective has to make a living some how.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I would use my detective skills mostly for good, but I’d definitely have to use them to make some money too.
July 18th, 2008 at 3:27 am
I’d definitely use them for “good”, although the temptation to use those skills to punish people who I personally thought were bad people would certainly be great (a la Veronica Mars).
July 18th, 2008 at 8:11 am
I’d use them for good, and to win free dvds…wink wink
July 18th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Definitely for evil, sweet, delicious evil
July 18th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Technically, if my detective skills were sound enough, I would be doing good in helping others with cases that need to be closed, and making money doing just that. I’ve been reading lots of Conan Doyle lately, so I can boast that I’m studying the best super sleuth of all literary time.

I would use my detective skills for good by helping people. I would use my super-heightened skip tracing skills to track down any information that is needed. Want to know who sang “that one song” that played during your big kiss at the prom back in 1982 ? I will get that info for you (”Yes, that was Hall & Oates”). Want to know what happened to prickly legged Jenny from the first grade? I will get that for you (”Moonlight Bunny Ranch, Nevada room 4…ask for ‘Nina Ballerina’, and bring $475.00.”) My income would just be tips, in kind items & services, favors, and donations (and lots of free gummy candy). BUT, I would be SO GOOD at it, that I would live very comfortably.
PS: I love “Psych,” it is SO MUCH fun!

I would use my detective skills to help solve crimes and of course make me some money.
July 18th, 2008 at 11:29 am
I’d use my skills mostly for good; save lives, catch bad guys, the usual. Every now and then though I’d be open to try some evil (no detective would be good enough to catch me except for me)!
July 18th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I would use my ultimate detective skills for good…and money. I mean, money *can* be good, if used for good. I mean, like Monk and Shaun, I’d try to help people, but I’d like the police to pay me for helping. Rent ain’t cheap!
July 18th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
Neither straight good or evil I suppose. . . .just for whatever suits me best. Because along
with that will come money.
July 18th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I…must…win…the…contest!!!!
I kinda feel like today is literally X-mas in July, with these two shows finally coming back into my life.
Monk never fails to entertain, and Psych is just a riot…I love Shawn and Gus…too funny!!
July 18th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
I would basically use my skills for good, because I’m not really ‘good’ enough to be evil, and even though I don’t particularly care for money, I’m guilty because I need some of it.
July 18th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Followed Tony’s work since Wings! Love MONK.
July 18th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
I would use my detective skills to find out where the missing socks, keys, and pocket change go!
July 18th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
I’d love to use my skillz for money, but, according to my friends, I’m just a regular ole lurker.
July 18th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
I’d use my skills just to say I told you so. :)
July 19th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Ta pick da ponys,,,,,, hehehe
July 19th, 2008 at 3:00 am
I would use my detective skills for helping people by finding car keys to finding cheating husbands. It’s all good.
July 19th, 2008 at 3:59 am
I would use me detective skills for money; extensive research on sporting events. And I would donate a portion of my winnings to charity.
July 19th, 2008 at 8:31 am
I would use my detective skills to become another Emma Peel. How cool would that be?
July 19th, 2008 at 10:05 am
I would use my powers for evil and money because bad guys always have more fun.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:06 am
I would use my powers for evil because villains always have more fun.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:07 am
I would use my powers because villains always have more fun.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I will use my power for evil because bad guys always have more fun.
July 19th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
If I told you I’d have to kill you.
July 19th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
let me win!
July 21st, 2008 at 10:06 am
For good…and the rest will be taken care of.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:45 pm
I would use my skills to win this contest and the lotto.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:18 am
Good/bad, black/white, the only thing that matters is MONEY. Money isn’t everything, but in life its how we keep score of the winners/losers and as such I would ply my detective skills to the highest bidder with little regard for the ramifications. All opinions are really just a matter of perspective.
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I would use my detective skills for good, well…… good for me. I would rig this contest so that I would win.
July 22nd, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I would use my detective skills to solve challenges. The challenge would keep me interested and would provide money. yea
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:25 pm
i would use them to help people for a fair wage… i dont rip people off
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
for good and for money.
July 28th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I would use my detective skills to watch Psych and Monk over and over, face 3 inches from the screen and eyes squinted in typical Shawn fashion. In a display of ultimate geekness, I would methodically point out and archive nitpicks and oddball facts, memorizing the dialog of whole episodes as I go. I would proceed to spread this vital information to the world.
Nerds, rejoice in the goodness of my intentions… Normal people, suspect something very, very evil afoot.

I would use my detective skills to life my life out like it was a TV show. Why a TV show and not a movie, well if I were to go the movie route it would be a lot more expensive, what with all the traveling to exotic locations, car chases, shoot outs, explosions, and death and all. And while that would be tits awesome it would also be some hard work.
Thats why the TV route would allow me to be a lethargic, apathetic, callous, self centered person who would complain and try ruing everyone’s shit while never learning anything.
It be like my real life except having a nemeses , having badasserous dialog and getting into hilarious situations more often and actually having to leave my house to interact with friends.
August 9th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
i’d use my powers for good, which would make me money. ;)
August 11th, 2008 at 1:39 am
Wow… I just realized my dream in life is TO Be a TV show, which is as sad as wanting to be a dump truck at 19 years old.
August 19th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Is this still going on? Well, I’d use my detective skills to keep on top of all the latest happenings. And maybe i’d have a better memory, since i have a horrible one at the moment.
I love Psych though and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this. I really hope this is going on. :)

Hi, I would use my detective persuasion to go for the “Most Wanted” Criminals. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
