It is with a little bit of embarrassment that I admit that I love the television series, Psych. Truly I just love to watch Psych! It is a show designed, I think for people who are younger than me but I started watching it on Netflix and thanks to Psych episodes online, I quickly went through the first four seasons of the show and am an avid “Pshych-O”.
This show is totally unrealistic, and if you accept that going in you will be o.k. Shawn Spencer is the main character and he is a psychic detective. What is that you ask? Well he is a detective who uses his “psychic abilities” to solve crimes. He often is called into the Santa Barbara Police Department to help them solve crimes as well. Spencer works with his childhood friend Burton Guster, who is a full time pharmaceuticals salesman and part-time Psychic associate. These two characters have the funniest lines and most memorable banter between them. I literally laughed my butt off watching this show. Really I did. I was connected to my butt one minute and then, BAM, my butt fell off. From their constant references from foods to 80’s pop culture, there is something for everyone. They also have featured many interesting guest stars over the first five seasons. From wrestling’s John Cena to Cary Elwes, (the Princess Bride), they never fail to deliver an interesting story, and make you laugh in the process.
The laughter is definitely the number one reason I like this show. Even though I am quite sure that I feel my I.Q. drop every time I watch, I think that the boys and Juliet are worth it. Pineapple anyone?
Shawn: Come on, dude. I honestly didn’t know he was gonna be pulling a corpse outta the ground.
Gus: That’s alright, Shawn. I honestly didn’t know I was gonna be putting my foot in your ass. Life’s full of surprises.
Shawn: This is just another knock off of the other knock off of the original knock off of that other show.
Shawn [while they’re in front of the fence, after he said that usually the ‘electrified’ sign is fake]: Come on, touch it.
Gus: I’m not touching an electrified fence, Shawn!
Guard *smiling creepily*: How about I touch it?
Shawn: I don’t think I like the way that sounds.
“Or maybe you’re referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I’d tell you, but then I’d have to kill you, which I can’t do because my license to kill has been revoked.”
