This post is all about informing and educating everyone is America about the greatest thing to be on television since Mash. And that is the show Psych. For everyone that already watched Psych, well done we can now be best friends. If you do not watch this show, for shame, and you know that feeling of something missing in your life? That feeling is Psych and it will fill that void.
This show is on USA on Wednesday's, and it is something I look forward to every week, pretty much right when one episode ends I am looking for the new one to start, it makes a week feel so long.
Now for you uneducated and uninformed audience out there, let me break it down for you. This show is hilarious, that's all I need to say. But I will start with the basics so we do not miss anything and you can see the hilarity in all its glory. The show is about a psychic detective named Shawn and his best friend Burton Guster, or Gus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQOpiXN4sS8. Shawn is not really psychic but because of his fathers persistence to make him notice everything, he uses his heightened senses to fool the police into believing he is psychic. Every episode is Shawn and Gus solving a crime that for some reason stump the detectives Carlton Lassiter and the beautiful Juliette O'Hara. The crimes that they solve range from ring theft to bank robberies and as bad as murder. And one of the funniest parts of every episode is that Shawn is inevitably wrong about something during the case, and it is comedic because he is always so sure of himself. So it almost seems like the episodes starts over in the middle when Shawn accuses the wrong person.
The characters in the show really make it as good and hilarious as it is.
Shawn Spencer-A hyper observant, crass, often rude, but also caring and very loyal to his friends. As the main character of the show you get to know Shawn the best out of all other people. He is extremely confident in all aspects of his life but especially his detective skills. Shawn has a very off and on again relationship with his father because I do not think Shawn ever forgave his father for his different upbringing.
Burton "Insert Nickname Here" Guster-Gus may be almost the complete opposite personality wise of Shawn. He really does not like to joke around to much and lives a very conservative lifestyle as opposed to Shawn who is very liberal. Gus does not like to spend money, but does love food... I mean snacks. He also has the tendency to date murderers, so you could say he has bad taste in women as well. Shawn also has a different nickname for Gus in just about every episode, except for one. Here is just a taste of some of the greatest ones Link
Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter-May be the most by the book police officer...ever. Does not really believe that Shawn is psychic and not a fan of Shawn's in general. The show leads you to believe that Lassie is a very competent detective but he always needs help with a case every week. He has a very short temper and is never very far from drawing his gun and shooting anything that moves.
Juliette O'Hara-Beautiful, smart, very good detective, and did I mention gorgeous? Jules is a little more liberal with her interpretation of the law that Lassie, and she actually believes in Shawn and his gift,. She is a very good compliment to Lassiter, balancing his hard-nosed tactics with gentler ones.
Henry Spencer-Shawn's father and at one time a very good detective in his own right. Obviously wanted Shawn to become a cop too, hence the teaching his observational skills. But because of this does not really get along very well with Shawn, but still reluctantly gives him advice when Shawn comes looking for it.
So there you go now you have the basics about the best show in the world...ever. So if you have time, or even if you dont, sit down and watch Psych. You will thank me later
