Psych


Psych is a USA Network series that follows the highly-comical detective endeavors of fake psychic Shawn Spencer. Shawn, brought up by his cop father, Henry Spencer, was trained, given powers of acute observation and other skills needed to solve mysteries in Henry's hopes that Shawn would one day join the long line of cops in the family. However, Shawn soon strayed from Henry's vision and spent many years of his young-adult life working various odd jobs. Shawn's hobby was calling in tips to the police on high-profile crimes that he caught on the news. One day, however, Shawn's hobby smacked him in the face, as he was brought to the police station as a suspected accomplice to a recent murder.

Then and there, Shawn made up the lie that he was psychic, and through some highly convincing theatrics, it worked. The police then hired him as the "Head Psychic" and began to bring him in on difficult cases that usually had the police stumped. Along for all the adventures is Shawn's reluctant but loyal best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster, who has a straight, narrow, and secure job as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Disbelieving of Shawn's psychic charade is Head Detective Carlton Lassiter, who would sooner cuff Shawn than follow a "vision." Other central characters include Lassiter's partner, Juliet O'Hara, and Interim Police Chief Karen Vick, both of whom are often amused by Shawn's "psychic" influence.

(L to R: Maggie Lawson, Corbin Bernsen, James Roday, Kirsten Nelson, Dule Hill, Timothy Omundson)

Fake Psychic, Real Detectives ;)Rating: 2 likes, 1 dislikes

Let me just start off by saying that this is a genius and original idea. the writers make hilarious dialogues, and the storylines in every episode is always incredible and impressing. Have you ever seen a tv-show that in the middle of a sentence, the person saying it stops and thinks about whether or not the words he is saying makes sense? no? well probably because when writing a script, they always goes with flawless dialogues and conversations. This show makes all the conversations incredible, and it's hilarious every time either Shawn or Gus starts questioning each others grammar skills! apart from that, Shawn always comes up with ridiculous jokes which always gets on Gus's nerves. And since Shawn claims he is a psychic, he has to improvise and find new ways to convince the Police that he is right, and that he can solve the case. He also quotes other brilliant shows such as Heroes, Lost, Numb3rs etc. and a lot of movies! almost every episode you will hear either Gus or Shawn say "ooh it's just like in that movie with..." and so on, and they never ever get which movie the other one is referring to. all in all a brilliant show, with a great basic storyline, which don't go too deep (unfortunately), but is hilarious from episode to episode.

6x16: Santabarbaratown recap: The episode begins with a young Shawn meeting Uncle Lou and his dad Henry. His dad looks a little disturbed and Uncle Lou is sure that Shawn can handle it. Henry tells him about a missing girl Veronica Town, a waitress wearing a red dress and a gold necklace with her initials on it and the whole thing is beginning to look like she is murdered. Cut to the present day, Shawn tells Gus that Jules and he are not thinking about marriage anytime soon. He is about to tell Gus more about them, when they arrive at the crime scene. Jules updates them with the case; unidentified white guy, dead and gun shot went to the face. The foreman on the construction site found the body... read more.

6x15: True Grits recap: The episode begins with a reporter waiting for Chef Woodson, who is about to be released from prison, after being wrongly convicted for stealing. The Innocence Project frees him from prison. Woodson walks out and shouts into the mic that he wants back all that he has lost. He knows his rights and says that he is due restitution. He says he will get his law degree and enroll himself in the police academy. He also says that he will hire someone to find the truth for him. Next, we see Woodson and his lawyer at the Psych office.

6x14: Autopsy Turvy recap: The scene opens with, the Chief asking Woody if the name “Bob White” ring a bell. Woody thinks she is referring to some clown, but the Chief tells him that he is the man Woody had performed an autopsy on; two nights ago. The man was run over by a bus. She asks him whether he remembers a missing ear lobe. But it seems he doesn’t. Just then she introduces him to a woman named Grace; who happens to be Woody’s ex-flame and a student from Woody’s forensics college. Grace tells them that the earlobe was cut prior to the accident and the incision was clean and precise, as if it’s been cut with a box cutter. She doesn’t think that his was an accident. But in defense, Woody says that the man was drunk and passes out and falls and later was run over by a bus... read more.

6x13: Let's Doo-Wop It Again recap: The scene opens at a Youth at Risk fund raiser. Gus and Shawn are at the event with Gus’s cappella group and Deacon is surprised to see Shawn in the group. Shawn tells him that every black group always had a white guy and gives him examples. Well, that’s Shawn! Gus tells Shawn how Deacon had saved Toney’s and Drake’s lives (they are the other guys from the group). Deacon introduces Tina to the boys and tells them that she handles all his finances. After their performance, Shawn collapses on the stage and tells Gus to take him to the hospital. At the hospital, Shawn is told that his appendix had burst and that its been removed. Well guess Shawn is a little terrified and thinks he needs an appendix transplant!!.. read more.

6x12: Shawn and the Real Girl recap: The scene opens with the show Paths Of Love; where Melinda is about to choose the guy she wants to protect and it is Todd. But Todd is not there amongst the other guys. The crew members search for him and the producer of the show is flustered ‘cause he is losing money. Next we see, Lassie is reading a report that says, Todd Kramer was driving at an accelerated speed, car lost control and he died. Lassie thinks there is no crime; but this is merely an accident; a regular feature. Shawn and Gus want to take a look at the photographs. Shawn tells Lassie that he senses something wrong in the photographs; but Lassie dismisses it by saying that he is desperate to making something out of nothing. Just then Steve, the director of the reality show comes into the office and tells Shawn that he too smells some foul play in this accident... read more.
