Okay, hands up everyone who watches Psych! I had a conversation earlier that made me curious and now I have a question for you all.

Further discussion welcome in the comments!

Shawn and his dad make me embarrassed. Okay, Shawn always makes me embarrassed. Except when he's making me laugh. Sometimes at the same time.

Heh. See, I don't mind his dad, but I definitely don't LIKE him.

BUT IT'S SO TRUE.

Maybe after this poll is over you could do a new one that is just Sean vs. Henry.

I only watched I think the first two episodes and never really cared that much to watch more but I liked Gus.

Also you have to find and read Gates of the Owl, there's growing, a dead beat dad and cultural issues handled well and an awesome fairy tale with captured souls.

Seems to be the collective agreement.

I don't know which to pick! I want to pick Gus, because he's completely surrounded by crazy people!

It depends on the fight but generally they're both being fools, so ... Gus. I think there was a shift in S3 to make their childhood arguments more rascally child & long-suffering dad, and in those cases my sympathies were with his dad, but when they're truer to their characterizations my sympathies are more with Shawn because ... he's not obsessively trying to control every facet of his dad's life?

(I like that my non-paid account preserves my Shawn/Gus icon.)

I LOVE YOUR ICON.

Note: I have never actually seen Psych. I just decided to identify with Gus anyway.

(I have no idea who these people are.)

Wait wait! I think I do know who they are! They're the nerd bromance, right?

From: [identity profile] shati.livejournal.com
Yes! I have seen it. Does that validate my identification with Gus?

I also read a post about Gus/Shawn one time long before that. I am bursting with knowledge.

Well, DUH. :-)

Taking away the Gus option, I still couldn't answer the question, because it depends on the situation. Sometimes I think Shawn's got a point, sometimes I think Henry's got a point, and a lot of the time they're both being jerks. But I love them anyway.

I've worked it out! I have sympathy for Henry because there's this whole 'man not actually built for fatherhood but doing the best he can' thing which I inherited from due South. And I think part of the delight of the programs is that the evolving father-son relationship over the course of the show kind of lets you know that, although you initially thought that the father was to blame, there're so many complex issues feeding into it that you can't help but feel sorry for both of them and hope they work it out.

I am so in love with Shawn, though. His brain works like mine.

It makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that I have contributed TO SCIENCE.
