At first I thought it was only a ripoff of the Mentalist.  Well, it is, sort of.  But the protagonist turns out to be a schizophrenic who has hallucinations and hears voices that tell him how to solve crimes.  Did I just write that?  Did I actually watch that thing from beginning to end?  Was it just a hallucination?

Oh yes.  The hero is a Cub fan who believes that this is the year.  One of his hallucinations warns him that is a sure sign of insanity.  That was the humor in the show.

So it's a ripoff of a show that's a ripoff of Psych?

Which, as we all know, was a ripoff of Mr. Zip.
