Monk
For years, fans ofMonkandPsychwanted a crossover between the shows that never really happened.
With its fresh angle and eccentric lead character,Monkset itself apart as one ofthe best detective shows.
Similar toMonk,Psychwas a fresh take on the crime procedural genreand had a successful run on USA connection.
Both series have continued to be popular even after their finales and have even released streaming movies.
The commercials see Shawn and Monk interact and play off each other’s quirks.
There’s a fan theory that states that MonkandPsychmight exist in the same universe.

This theory was fueled by the two shows similarities and theMonkreference in thePsychseason 8 finale.
However,the commercials were the only time that the eccentric characters shared the screen.
One thing the promos did was show how well the crossover between the two series would have worked.
Shawn Spencer happens to possess some uncanny powers of observation thanks to his father, Henry, a former police officer who taught his son to remember even the smallest details of his surroundings. When Shawn is accused of committing a crime that he actually solved, he convinces the cops that he’s a psychic – and with the reluctant help of his best friend, Gus, Shawn starts solving cases for a skeptical but increasingly impressed police force.
LikeMonk,Psychs lead character,Shawn, has quirks he uses to help detectives solve cases.
Both shows also have a similar tone, adding humor and lighthearted characters into the crime drama formula.
Although it’s been several years since both shows concluded, the possibility of a crossover still remains.
