Psych on USA

[The Human Target]

Anybody still watching?

This weeks Telenovela episode was, as per usual, dumb but hilarious.

I do wish they'd get on with some of the storylines though.


And they need to give the Chief a storyline.

Cause she's a hawt older lady.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

I'm really enjoying this season, the show's finally found it's stride.

[The Human Target]

Its about time Shawn and O'Hara go on a date. Or for Gus to get a woman.
Something new.

And I want to see Shawn's dead mom. I think she's dead isn't she?

[Magnum V.I.]

I love this show. I agree Shawn needs to hook up with O'Hare.

I'm glad they finally let go of the constant police cases they tagged along on and let them breathe on some stuff not police related.

[xyzzy]

It's a goofy formula show. I enjoy it. I wouldn't look for any real advancement in the characters, though. I don't think that's the kind of show it's trying to be.

I mean, Monk never gets to make any real progress with his anxiety disorders (or if he does he's tragically set back) for the same reason. To maintain the formula.

[bartleby]

Its about time Shawn and O'Hara go on a date. Or for Gus to get a woman.

Gus did get a wife.

[Hock]

It's a fun show. I like it.

FUN FACT: A few months ago it was filming about 4 blocks from my apartment building and I met the token black guy from West Wing.

[The Human Target]

Gus did get a wife.

I was hoping when the showed the season previews that Gus was getting legitimately married. That would be fun.

I know I shouldn't expect it, but that doesn't mean I don't want it. Its so much fun I think they could shake things up without having it backfire.

Yeah I agree.

[bartleby]

I like that the occasionally play different versions of the theme song, like last night's Spanish version or the Christmas one.

[The Human Target]

Oh fuck, I fast fowarded over the theme song this time.

I gotta go listen.


I also like that we're getting a lot of Corbin Bernsen this season.

[Smokinblues]

Psych is one of those shows where every time I watch an episode I find myself laughing uncontrollably at least once an episode. But I don't ever end up watching it on a regular basis, or even have any real desire to do so.

Burn Notice was the same way, I really enjoyed it the few times I watched it, but don't really care if I never see it again.

[xyzzy]

I really dig Burn Notice. And that one seems like it might be going somewhere.

If I didn't have a dvr, I doubt I'd stay home and watch either.

And yet, I love both when I can watch them on my own terms.

They're both shows that I didn't think I would like on paper, but the great casts have me hooked in.

[dougmac]

I like that the occasionally play different versions of the theme song, like last night's Spanish version or the Christmas one.

the theme song was great last night.

there's such great chemistry with this cast especially between Roday, Hill, and Bersen.

[CapnChaos]

I got the two pack of the first season with Monk and I thought it was fun as hell. Sometimes the mysteries are way too easy, but that may have gotten better in the second season.

[bartleby]

So apparently the actor who played Jorge actually is the "El Pollo Loco Guy" who Henry references when criticizing Shawn's accent.

[RebootedCorpse]

It's very doopey. But extremely watchable.

[Dave S.]

when did new eps start? And how many have their been?

[bartleby]

when did new eps start? And how many have their been?

There was a Christmas Special, and then the regular episodes started on January 11. So three or four.

If you need to catch up USA is now doing full episodes online.

[Simps]

I believe this is the third new episode, I think they started on January 11th.

That just makes the whole thing extra funny.

[I AM GROOT!]

Still enjoying it. As someone said, it's not a complicated formula, but it's the strong cast who make it work.

On a side note, anyone know how many episodes we're getting during the current run? In other words, was this affected by the writer's strike, or did they get all the episodes written beforehand?

[FedEx Fanboy]

I love Psych. It took a while, but it's easily become one of my favorite show's to watch on TV (and I watch a lot of TV). Loads of fun and each episode makes laugh.

Monk steadily declining over the last few seasons has made the show even more enjoyable.

[SimiBoyz]

I loved the concept of it from the start and they pull off some great fun episodes.

Love it. Fantastic show.

[Sean Jackson]

To me Psych feels like a live action Warner Brothers cartoon. From the music cues, to the acting to the jokes, I feel like I should be seeing Bugs and Daffy as the lead characters.

I love it.

[dEnny!]

Gus did get a wife.

That was hilarious! Loved him sporting the high top fade! CLASSIC.

I like this show, it's not the best written, it's just fun and entertaining. I hope they take their time developing the storylines, would love to see USA do longer seasons, 22 episodes or something.

[dEnny!]

Que?

[dEnny!]

And this is my personal candy striper, Nick Knack.

[Sean Jackson]

Cause she's a hawt older lady.

Yes, yes she is.

[Sehestedt]

as per usual, dumb but hilarious.


That sums up my opinion of the show entirely. Dumb but hilarious. I watch every week.

[The Dean]

I love Psych. I don't think I'd change a single thing except to air it more often. (Maybe get rid of the cartoon Shaun and Gus.)

The comedy-mystery can get away with some campy story lines but the entire cast has such chemistry.

[dEnny!]

I love Psych. I don't think I'd change a single thing except to air it more often. (Maybe get rid of the cartoon Shaun and Gus.)

I liked the idea of Lil' Shaun and Gus, but the last two have been disappointing.

[Sean Jackson]

I am still waiting for a Monk / Psych cross over. It must happen.

[Petey Parker]

And unless you plan on taking her to Wayne Manor lose the turtleneck

:)

[The Dean]

And unless you plan on taking her to Wayne Manor lose the turtleneck

:)

Tonight's mystery was tad of a let down but the humor was top notch.

The cast freaking out over the third body cracked me up... Plus, "I'm not Black..."

[Princesa]

Its one of my favorite shows, the humor is always on pint and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

[Petey Parker]

I wish it wasn't the season finale next week. Need more Psych.

[FedEx Fanboy]

I wish it wasn't the season finale next week. Need more Psych.

Agreed. Those five months will be a looooooooong wait.

Tonight's episode was a lotta fun. I love the look on Gus' face after he put on the lavender oil. Fucking Hilarious.

[The Human Target]

Yeah, the mystery last night sucked but the bits were great. And I loved the added drama at the end between Henry and Shawn. And I love how hot Corbin Bernsen's wife in real life still is.

[dEnny!]

Looking forward to watching BLACK & TAN tonight.

[dEnny!]

I wish it wasn't the season finale next week. Need more Psych.

I so agree.

I'd love this and Monk to be 22 episodes long per season. This whole half in the summer and half in the winter is brutal.

[dEnny!]

I hope the creators/writers realize they don't always have to come up with a GREAT mystery as long as they work on developing the characters of Shawn, Gus, their relatives and supporting cast...I love that stuff as much as they funny and the mystery.

[Simps]

Aw, I just watched the season finale, 4 more months until new episodes! I knew what was coming at the end, I just didn't realize how badly we'd be left hanging.

Luckily, there's a fair amount of content on the http://psych.usanetwork.com website to go through.

[Petey Parker]

The first half of the season finale was a little slow but it totally got better in the second half. I love the part when they find the car with the mummy in it and Gus looks in the window and turns to Shawn who has proceeded to run away. Its gonna be a long wait til the summer.

That had me rolling.

It was a good episode, but it didn't feel like a semi-season finale outside of the stuff with the chief.

[Spidey]

Part of the USA holy trinity (Psych, Monk, and Burn Notice). Great show. The pilot episode is especially well-written.

[Petey Parker]

New Season tonight. Woooooooooooooooooo! :)

The one with the mummy is on right now.

[Sean Jackson]

I still want a Psych / Monk crossover, where the whole time, Monk is continually proving that Shawn isn't a psychic, much to his chagrin.

[Lab-Rat]

I loved those little commercial crossovers between Monk, Psych, and Dead Zone. (too bad Dead Zone is gone...though it's probably for the better)

I agree that Monk and Psych really need to do a crossover. In opposition to your idea, I could see an episode where Monk is trying to prove Shawn isn't a psychic, but Shawn keeps finding ways to use Monk's phobias to keep him from actually proving it. Seriously...both characters are literally foils for each other...it could lead to a lot of hilarity.

[FedEx Fanboy]

I'm super fucking stoked about Season 3!!!

FINALLY!

:D

[The Human Target]

That was a fun opener.

I'm so mad I didn't realize who the ghost was right off the bat.

The practically tell you.

And that ended was super dramatic.

For Psych at least.

I completely echo your sentiments.

[FedEx Fanboy]

Just wanted to mention that if you're not watching Psych, you're a SUCKA!!!

Seriously, this season has been great, especially the last few episodes and the John Hughes episode.

I about lost it in this weeks episode where Gus told Shawn he should be ashamed for making a National Treasure reference...

[Petey Parker]

No bump for the Christmas special yesterday? It had some funny moments. Sucks that Ernie Hudson didn't reprise his role as Gus' father but at least they had a good replacement in Keith David.

Loved when they were doing the Peanuts dance (especially on the Pysch Out on the credits)

[PimpSlapStick!]

PPsych and burn notice good shows, burn notice the best

Yea, I really enjoyed the C-Mas episode... Can't wait for new episodes in Jan!!!

I also think Keith David did a great job as Guster's dad. It took me a little while to realize they'd made a change.

[bartleby]

I think they should make that a running joke and cast a different actor for Gus's father every Christmas special.

[Mr. E!]

I think they should make that a running joke and cast a different actor for Gus's father every Christmas special.

Next year it should either be Tony Todd, or to really screw with everyone's head, David Keith.

Fire bad, tree pretty.


Wow. Psych is a fun time, but I never expected it to be one of the few shows on television to meet the Target's high standards. :)

Its funny, its well acted, its light enough that the plot isn't super important (which is good since the plots on this show usually suck ass), and I have a crush on the Chief and O'Hara.

The Christmas special wasn't great, but it was okay. Not too many great jokes.

[Petey Parker]

I think they should make that a running joke and cast a different actor for Gus's father every Christmas special.

That would be pretty funny

[powerbomb1411]

Not too many shows I bother wish watching, just not enough time in an hour or minute. But I love Psych. USA just keeps getting my viewing. Psych, Burn Notice (Absolute favorite), and they also had The 4400 and The Dead Zone to their credit as well.

[Princesa]

One of my favorite shows, good cast with good chemistry all around.

[FedEx Fanboy]

Oh yea, I'd also like to add:

FUCK THE MENTALIST!!!

[Donal DeLay]

I love this show and can't wait for season 3 to hit DVD.

[Briomega]

Oh yea, I'd also like to add:

FUCK THE MENTALIST!!!

Cause it's a better show? Or because you find him sexy? :twisted:

;)

[FedEx Fanboy]

Yes. Everything OPPOSITE you said.

[Petey Parker]

Good deals on Amazon

Season 1 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000P0I4P8/ref=pd_luc_mri?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance) is only $17.49, Season 2 (http://www.amazon.com/Psych-Complete-Second-James-Roday/dp/B0016MOWO6/ref=pd_bxgy_d_text_b) has dropped to $29.99. Much better than the $40+ they go for in stores (especially on the first season)

[The Dean]

This year's X-Mas episode was awesome... I hated loosing Winston but reloading with "I didn't take it out for fresh air" guy was pretty good.

[FedEx Fanboy]

Bump for the return of Psych tomorrow night!!!

[Petey Parker]

Plan B was probably one of the funniest moments of the entire series

"Oh my god! I killed him!"

and I'm going to have to pick this (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Psych/William-Rabkin/e/9780451226358/?itm=6) up

[Petey Parker]

Looks like a second Psych novel is due in July. I also saw novels for Burn Notice. I knew they had numerous Monk novels so I guess it was only a matter of time before some of their other shows got them.

Nice. I might have to get this. Let me know how it is...

Will do. I plan on picking up the first one this week. I'm just finishing up another book first.

[The Human Target]

Shabby Thesealion.

Is that Greek?

[FedEx Fanboy]

Holy shit. Shawn and Gus were KILLING IT tonight!!!

"Combos, different story. They are both Pretzels and Cheese. And if you get one without Cheese, that means the bag is haunted."

"It usually stars with a HOLLA and a Creamsickle." "And if there's time in between, THUNDERCATS HOOOO!"

"Turn on the Jackal Switch"

"Poor Kenny Loggins, he was just collateral damage. One might even say... He was in the DANGER ZONE."

[Petey Parker]

Nice. I might have to get this. Let me know how it is...

I picked up the novel yesterday. I'm only about 100 pages in but its fantastic. Its exactly like the show. I actually laughed out loud while reading it even during the first chapter. I highly recommend it.

"Who is Jim Messina?"

"Kenny Loggins is in jail?"

"The composer of "House On Pooh Corner" and "This Is It" has fallen on hard times?"

[Petey Parker]

"Did you know before he stabbed a guy he was a "life coach"?"
"Who would hire him as a life coach?"
"The guy he stabbed"

[FedEx Fanboy]

Another great episode of Psych tonight.

They may have delivered one of the best Star Wars homages ever... Or at least one of the most subtle.

"...you need to fill out form IG-88"

Awesome.

Hi Fireman!

[bradical]

knight rider!

[FedEx Fanboy]

So besides tonight's episode kicking (joke!) all sorts of ass: "Psych signal", "Ralph Macchio jokes", "Altered States homage", "Just One of the Guys comeback", the Coup de Grace was the subtle, yet poignant jab they took at "The Mentalist".

:rock:

Heh, my wife was the same way.

Whew, glad I wasn't alone. I don't watch scary movies much, and I was all alone, with hubby in another room watching BSG. It scareded me. :(


The slasher camp is pretty cool. But...ya know, if they did one like that in real life, I bet the same thing would happen...someone would kill someone for real. That's why we can never have anything nice!

das

[Black Roman]

Shawn Roberts + Shirtlessness = Best. Episode. Ever.




Okay, that out of the way, I really dug the faux-slasher film idea. Good episode.


Just really started watching this, didn't like it at first but it's begun to grow on me.

Same here - I didn't like it when it first started, but it seems they have found their rhythm, and now the show is growing on me, too. (I still like The Mentalist better, though... ;) )

[The Human Target]

Not a great episode.

Except for the Lassiter stuff, which I thought was nice.

[Petey Parker]

I thought it was a great episode. The Friday The 13th Pysch Out with Gus and "Rick Astley" was hilarious.

[The Human Target]

Is it sad I knew that was a Rick Astley pinata?

I liked the first past of the episode, but I thought it was really rushed and boring when they got to the actual murder mystery.

[Gunter]

Justine Bateman has not aged well.

[RebootedCorpse]

Justine Bateman has not aged well.

I'd bang her for the nostalgia factor.

Season Finale next week already :(

Its gonna be a long wait til the summer.

[Gunter]

I'd bang her for the nostalgia factor.

Well, yeah.

:)

[The Human Target]

So....

how did everyone feel about that finale?

[Drew]

I am going to be somewhat disappointed if they don't give RLC at least a couple of episodes in the next few.

Because now the Jules/Shawn will they won't they sexual tension is at its tipping point.

[ImLactoseIntolerantUJerk]

that was the finale? i liked it overall, i wondered why they got overly intense in the episode, but i guess it was because it was the finale. the whole idea that juliet would wait to ask him out until then seemed a little ridiculous.

[dasNdanger]

Thought it was a good episode - pretty tense. More serious than most.

das

[Petey Parker]

I liked it. Not as many laughs as I hoped but it still had a few good ones. Gus doing MJ is always funny and the Pat Swayze Civil War Buff comment was funny. I hope Mary is a recurring character.

[dEnny!]

The Tuesday the 17th episode was HILARIOUS! When he screamed like a girl I almost fell on the floor laughing.

I thought this batch of episodes was solid. Funny, entertaining...look forward to watching the finale. I wish this was a 22 episode per season show.

[Petey Parker]

So did anybody else ever end up reading the novel? I thought it was great and was wondering if anybody else did too.

[FedEx Fanboy]

So did anybody else ever end up reading the novel? I thought it was great and was wondering if anybody else did too.

No, but you just reminded me I need to get it. I think I'll buy it and read it around May, so the wait until Season 4 doesn't seem as long!

I thought the Finale was good, very dramatic for a Psych ep but it worked. Also I hope RLC comes back. I've always had a thing for her...

I absolutely loved the Tues the 17th episode. The "Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff" tag team reference was amazing.

Yeah that was a good one.

Don't forget. Novel 2 is out in July so that's something else to look forward to :)

[Magnum V.I.]

I love how they always reference the special guest's other work in some capacity. Like the Law and Order Fire Investigator, and then the Judd Nelson Breakfast Club reference for the Finale when the Villain was the crazy chick from Breakfast club. I LOVE this show.

[Petey Parker]

The second novel is now out for anyone interested. I picked it up but I have another book to finish before I get to it.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414PuSZnimL._SS500_.jpg

[Cradleman]

wow, i love this show, but i did not realize that they had novels out. I will definitely read them if i can find the time to.

[FedEx Fanboy]

Hmmm, I'm really intrigued by the novels... I think I'll have to pick them up.

Only a month until new episodes!!!!!!

Hooray!

I'd like to know if these are any good.

The reviews I read on the Monk novels weren't very convincing.

I really hoped Monk/Psych would have started in July, but Burn Notice and SyFy's Eureka I guess can hold me over.

[MabusRex]

I'm a season behind on this. I think Season 3 comes out this month. Can't wait!

[FedEx Fanboy]

I really hoped Monk/Psych would have started in July, but Burn Notice and SyFy's Eureka I guess can hold me over.

Yea, they've started in July the past several years... I wonder why the change.

Oh well, good things for those who are patient!

Can't vouch for the Monk novels as I've never read them, but I loved the first Psych novel. The guy who wrote both the novels even wrote one of the episodes of the show.

[Petey Parker]

I'm about 60 pages in to the second book. I'd say its average so far. No really funny moments yet (unlike the first book which had quite a lot)

Looks like the third novel is set to come out in January according to Amazon (again written by William Rabkin)

[Petey Parker]

They have a nice dig at Monk in the second book :)

[Petey Parker]

Finished the second book a little earlier today. I'd say it was average overall (so it looks like my opinion didn't change :) ) A little slow to build up but it picks up in the latter part of the book with some really funny moments. They have another slam against the Mentalist in it. Its not something you might want to rush out to get but enjoyable enough to read if you're impatient for the new season to start.

[dougmac]

Has anyone seen the new commercial (it ran during Burn Notice and Royal Pains this week) poking fun at how hte Mentalist is a complete rip off yet gets all the good publicity. It's pretty funny.

I heard about it but didn't see it yet. I was looking for it on Youtube but no luck. They have a "PsychonUSANetwork" channel on Youtube but its not on there yet. There is a funny one with a "new Psych theme song" though.

It's funny, but SCRUBS did it first with HOUSE and GREY'S ANATOMY.

yeah but I think the Psych/mentalist comparison is a lot closer than the medical shows. Still, a good point though.

@psychwrites (http://twitter.com/psychwrites/status/2932700565) OFFICE FACT: All unsolicited scripts we receive are not opened, by law they are forwarded to The Mentalist where at least 7 have been made.

@psychwrites oh crap. The Mentalist writers room is now doing Fun Facts and Fake Spoilers on THEIR twitter. Ugh! Is there anything they don't copy???

So tonight's episode of PSYCH killed!

They were hitting on all cylinders. So many great lines...

"Malibu Shaun", "Jazz Hands", Heathers refrence, all the money and pronunciation jabs. Epic!

And to top if off they had a Monk Tribute commercial thingy and they took another swipe and the Mentalist!

[Donal DeLay]

I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread or not cause I didn't want to look. Just wanted to mention that I loved the fact that in one episode Shawn introduces himself as Abe Frohman, sausage king of Chicago and 2 episodes later abe frohman is robbing a bank.

intentional or not, it was just funny.

Just started watching Season 3 on DVD.

I honestly love psych a lot.

she's going to be recurring all season long, they couldn't afford her in every episode so they're going to mention Abbey a lot without actually having her onscreen.

It's not like she probably had too many other offers, she's getting too old for teen movies and it's probably a good paycheck

Yes! I thought that was such a Benbo line! All it needed was this popping up on the screen: :twisted:


The scene when Shawn and Gus are playing cards - that was a riot, too. This was the funniest ep I've seen yet...just perfect.

I also love the 'Psych' commercial for Monk, where Shawn says that Monk is the 'second most observant person he knows...third if you count the Mentalist' (or something to that effect)... :lol:

I think this show has finally won me over. :)

[Cradleman]

other than the Cary Elwes episode this season has been weak compared to the previous ones. It's still good, it just hasn't been as good as usual

It's better than the start to season two was. The only thing really missing this season is more of his psychic episodes, because when he does them, they are perfect and hilarious. But they just don't show up as much as they did the first(and not coincidentally the best) season. I also wouldn't mind seeing more of both Rachel Leigh Cook as Abilgail, and more of Jules. At least we get plenty of Lassie.

[The Human Target]

Yeah, this season has not been great. Not enough fake psychic hijinx. Not enough of the supporting characters.

[JMP]

I thought last nights episode was one of the weakest episodes in a long time...

Agreed. If you want to spend more time on "Binky" that's fine, but definitely not at the expense of Cowboy Shaun, who didn't really do anything all episode.

[WhindamPryce]

other than the Cary Elwes episode this season has been weak compared to the previous ones. It's still good, it just hasn't been as good as usual

Holy Shit that WAS Cary Elwes. I was so dazed the whole time. I kept thinking it must be someone else. Damn, he's kinda let himself go :lol:

And is it my imagination or has lil Gus not been seen in the flashbacks this season?

And if Abigail is going to be a viable girlfriend character she definitely needs to be shown more.

But yeah I'm loving this season just like the previous ones. :rock:

Sean: "We also do commercial jingles."

Speaking of which, with The Mentalist switching to Thursday nights (a night I'm usually out doing stuff), I'll probably forget to record it, which means Psych will be the only one of the two I'll be watching now. That should make Sean happy.

"That's interesting... Your boy liked big butts, and I cannot lie."

"He wasn't creepily checking out your posterior." "That's not creepy at all."

I started out really liking The Mentalist, but it's too schizo for me - light one minute, painfully dark the next - no consistency. And a couple of the actors are starting to wear on me. Psych might have a weak ep every now and then, but the show itself has no identity crisis - it is consistently entertaining where it counts.

Huh, where the hell did my earlier post go??? Strange.

Anyway, I thought was easily one of the WORST episodes of the show's entire run. Very crap-a-licious to say the least. Jona Cena might be man things, but an Actor he is not...

We did get some Rachel Leigh Cook in a bra. That was quite nice. Also the running gag about Gus' name was pretty funny. Other than that the show felt totally off.

I think that the tone was a bit off because of the break-up stuff (or whatever you wanna call it) - it was a real 'serious' moment in a show that usually shies away from it. But the relationship stuff was my least favorite part of this ep. I want to see the relationship between Gus and Shawn, afterall...they are like an old married couple. Bringing women into their lives is just annoying to me, takes some of the fun out of things. In fact, I'm wondering how it will play out next week.

I think it oaves the way for Shawn to chase Juliet again. I was surprised that Shawn didn't have more of a reaction when Ewen said his sister liked him on the dock at the end.
I like your point about Shawn and Gus. The first thing he said when Abby mentioned going with her was "Gus is here...Psych is here".

Glad the show's back, but too much John Cena... The times they were focusing on his point of view felt almost as bad as when Married With Children would shift from the family to one of their shitty spin-off ideas.

My niece and my sister both have trouble watching Psych because Shawn reminds them TOO much of my husband.

Shawn was a terrible boyfriend for most of their relationship, I think. And they seriously need to get rid of his necklace thing, it looks so fratboy-ish.

Great episode though. Back to form as usual! Oh and Sarah Shahi is always pleasant to look at (although she kept the twins locked down most of the EP).

[dasNdanger]

What was the The Mentalist impersonation???

When he said, "He's not lying. His lip is completely still, there's no sweat on the forehead, fingers aren't trembling."

That's all Mentalist - how he determines when someone is lying, or not. Not sure if Shawn has done that before (I have missed a number of eps in the past), but when he did it, I didn't think of Shawn, but immediately thought of Patrick Jane. Perhaps it was his whispery delivery, too.

[The Human Target]

I loved this episode, and consider it to be the best one in some time. They've been bordering on self parody this season and last, and while its had funny moments its been by and large pure fluff.

I hope the show continues to go in this direction. Expand on characters other than Shawn and Gus, tone down on the 80s jokes, etc.

I do think that this episode had two problems- the super obvious plot is one. I kinda wish the badguy would have just given up at the end. It would have deprived us of a funny fight scene, but it would have been more original and honest feeling.

And Shawn has really given up even sorta pretending to be psychic half the time.

Still, this and last weeks episode have been an upswing for sure.

When I want nothing but endless pop culture references on end, I'll watch Family Guy.

Unlike Family Guy though, Psych has established Shawn and Gus's pop culture references as part as their character's evolution. After all, they grew up together from childhood. I do the same thing with many of my older friends, and that's what makes it believable and relevant in the show's context.

[dasNdanger]

The pop culture references are what I love about the show - adds this little MST3Kish feel to it. I love shows that do it, too...like NCIS (which uses a lot of comic book references). It helps make me feel in on the joke, and that draws me into the show.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF THE PLAY EXTINCTION

The play ends with a coked out and drunk James Roday raping a girl! woohoo!

Maggie Lawson dyed her hair brown and she looked stunning in person! I've always found her cute on the show but she was a major babe tonight. and Dule was stylin! We overheard where the afterparty was being held, but we didn't wanna be party crashers... to make matters worse, the play and afterparty are all within 2 blocks of my apartment. I might start taking my dog out for walks around the theater to see if I can run into James Roday :cool:

anyway, good episode of psych tonight! the ending was a bit frustrating though- but i guess it means we should get at least a little more closure on the subject by the end of this season?

i watched last week's episode followed by the last half of armageddon on fx tonight. some of the worst yet most entertaining television in at least 3 days.

You guys are gonna shit. I'm at the premiere of James Rodays play- and dule hill and Maggie Lawson are here too. They were hangin out in the tiny lobby with us normal folks!

That's too funny, I remember you joking about seeing them there when you first got the tickets.

Great episode tonight.

I love Gus when he's trying to be smooth.

Hey now, a coked out James Roday might fuck you up if you keep talkin' bout his girl like that! :lol:

I thought the episode was fantastic. No love for Superman IV The Quest For Peace in the Sidney J. Furie fest though?

I wasn't very impressed with last night's ep - it just seemed a bit off. Maybe because (to me) it seemed there was less snark, less off-the-wall references, and maybe even a bit more serious in tone. It was enjoyable enough, but just not as great as the rest of the season's been so far.

Man, the Axe product placement is starting to annoy me.

Yeah, am a proponent of them cutting back the wacky and even I thought this one was a little lifeless.

It woulda worked better had it been all from Lassie's point of view I think.

I wish they would have cut out Jerry Ryan and given us more Michael Hogan.

You're not talking about the same episode. (Look at the date.) :D

Whoa time travel!

Well then Das was wrong about the episode she was talking about and I'm right about mine. :)

Nah. I was right about mine. It just didn't spark for me.

However, last night's ep was GOLD! Hubby loves Jaws, and he just sat there with this stupid 'isn't this GREAT?!' grin on his face the whole time. Damn good stuff. :)

Wow, season finale next week? Seems like the new season just started. Hitchcock themed episode so looks fun :)

Loved this week's episode especially the Jaws chalkboard parody scene

[Jason California]

White Chicks was funny Sean.

Favorite line of the episode.
