Psych: Season 1

I ordered this half a year ago, and I still haven't gotten it. I'm giving it 5 stars because this is supposed to be a PRODUCT review, and I've seen every episode of the show and all the bonus features in season 1, no thanks to Amazon.com LLC (which is what it lists as the seller), I checked out the box set from my local library. Now, onto my review of Psych. Psych is hands down the funniest show I've ever watched, and it's become my favorite for a lot of reasons. The show follows Shawn Spencer (James Roday), the "psychic" detective, and his best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster (Dule Hill), the pharmaceutical salesman. At the end of the pilot, Shawn opens up a psychic detective agency, Psych, and even though Gus didn't want to be part of it, Shawn put his name on the lease. Shawn is hyper-observent - thanks to his father, Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen), training him when he was a kid, as seen in the flashbacks at the beginning of most episodes - and has an eidetic memory. He uses those to convince people that he actually is psychic, though he's nearly been caught before. He doesn't really take anything seriously, and before opening Psych, he just bounced between jobs, avoiding commitment. Shawn is constantly making obscure 80s references, giving Gus nicknames, and making Gus do stuff he doesn't really want to do. Gus is smarter than Shawn and usually has to explain things to him. He ends up correcting Shawn a lot, to which Shawn almost always replies, "I've heard it both ways." Gus also has the super-sniffer, which comes in handy every now and then. He's scared of a lot of things, which doesn't help Shawn, but his screaming and running away is priceless. Head Detective Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) is a 10-year veteran of the Santa Barbara Police Department, and he prides himself in his shooting and his ability to solve cases. He's skeptical of Shawn, and doesn't really like him because he steals his cases and solves them with little more than a hunch. Quite frankly, Shawn makes Lassie look pretty bad, but you know Lassie had to be good before Shawn came along, or else he wouldn't be the head detective. Junior Detective Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) is Lassiter's new partner after Shawn exposed his secret relationship with his old partner, Lucinda Barry. Her gentle personality compliments Lassie's nicely, and it's no secret that Shawn cares for her. Unlike most crime shows, Psych has a nice balance of comedy and mystery. And there's not really much gore, so it's something you could watch with your family. They do curse a little, and the season 1 "blooper reel" isn't censored, so just watch out for that. The actors portray their characters quite nicely. I don't think I've ever seen a show with a more perfect cast. Shawn's psychic "episodes" usually involve Roday having to flail around on set, and Gus's fears have Hill screaming that hilarious scream. I almost feel bad for Omundson because of all the strange stuff that's written for Lassie, but I've watched the audio commentaries and it doesn't seem like he minds it too much. I heard he enjoyed riding the horse in "Weekend Warriors" and I enjoyed every scene he was on a horse because he had that "face wig" on. I'm sort of rambling on, now, so I'll finish up with the pineapple. It's a running gag because of James Roday's improvisation in "Pilot" when he grabs the pineapple and says, "Should I slice this up for the road?" Since then there's been a pineapple in almost every episode, usually hidden, and a lot of Psych merchandise is or has a pineapple. So basically, Psych is kind of silly and ridiculous, but that's what makes it so awesome. So if you like crime dramas and comedy, you should really watch it. Maybe even if you don't like crime dramas.

"Psych" is an outstanding show, and it manages to do what precious few others can- it makes a procedural crime show FUNNY! Whereas I find most procedural crime dramas to be dull, depressing, and by-the-numbers, "Psych" is anything but. Even when a crime has been committed, it comes off as being funny, because the show is presented in such an outlandish manner. The chemistry between the main characters (Shawn and Gus) is pure perfection, and the supporting cast is always firing on all cylinders. Although "Psych" is a show that has continued to improve as the seasons go by and the actors gain experience, Season One has held up remarkably well, and it's a solid investment of time for anybody who wants to try something a little different. If you're tired of the gore, bloodshed, and somber faced detectives that populate the crime dramas of most networks, give "Psych" a try. It has the wonderfully cheesy flavor of the USA Network, and it's outright hilarious- apt to make you laugh, and give you a nice break from all those CSI clones.

This series kind of grew on me as it came out a few seasons later while Monk still reigned supreme in the USA channel. James Roday initially irritated the heck out of me but the ensemble cast they got as regulars have really rounded out the series premise and made this a good show to watch. Thus my collecting the series seasons. I know I can watch the reruns regularly but I collect series seasons mainly for my sisters' families abroad. They never get full sequential seasons of popular TV shows here in the US ( TV channels abroad pay huge fees to US companies for the right to show them just once or twice and a lot of European channels can't justify the outlay ) so I bring it to them. This was a great buy for me as I bought it on CyberMonday. I had previously gotten the later seasons but had lost track of what season was missing till I called up the relatives. I would highly recommend you buy this series collection if you've never seen it before. Or even if you have as the show has really gotten better as time has gone on and we care more and more about the characters.

I originally gave this show a one-star review, but seriously, folks, you MUST get past the first season, and then it is all uphill from there. You can see how it took the writers, actors, and actually, all involved, to get their traction on this show but it sure does pay off. Once Season Two is under way, Dule Hill and James Roday are at the top of their game, so is the rest of the cast. The excellent chemistry amongst the crew is evident, and it pays off. Everyone knows their place, and how to pull a deluge of laughs from such a far-fetched and dubiously eye-rolling plot. It is fun, interesting, and sometimes, even knee-slapping hilarious! Don't miss out on Psych! NOTE: It is hard to find. It is not on any streaming services that I can determine. So you must buy the physical media, and the sellers must know that, because it's not cheap!

Reasons that I am entertained by this series, set in the 1980s: 1.) The " #metoo movement! " hates it. ({In one episode the male cop, repeatedly, tells a female to "shut it". Same man---in multiple episodes--- tells the female cop he doesn't want her opinion. Once, when that woman tells her boyfriend, the lead, that she doesn't want HIM to do something, he, then, tells his best friend "women say no when they mean yes"--- and is REWARDED for sexist behavior.}) 2.) The two male leads make lots of homophobic jokes. 3.) The show also treats race as if it's a JOKE. The white male lead appropriates black culture many, many, MANY times. Asian stereotypes are the joke in ANY episode that features an Asian actor/actress. 4.) SOME people----read the reviews----actually HATE-watch this show just to get outraged! 5.) This is THE series that LOVES to be HATED: go figure!

I am a "Psych-O" and LOVE this Series. I've seen every episode at least 5 times, but somehow lost my Season 1 DVD when I moved 😢. Got it back now from Amazon!!

One of the best comedies that has about weekly references to and pay homage to the 80 from time to time and has flashback to it depending on a certain point that the story line is on. It is a great buddy show that has an awesome cast of characters that just work well together. If you do not buy now, you can go to watch it on peacock and come back to buy it later. I bought them as you never know when the apps will take these off their apps.

I actually like the show. It is kind of different and it grew on me when I watched it on ION when they played it over and over but then they stopped it and I was actually looking forward to it being on. I went ahead and bought the first 2 seasons when they were selling for 12.95 at the time. I then bought 3 & 4 season a couple weeks later & they were 8.95. I now want to purchase 5 & 6 but it is now 20 bucks. I will wait until they come down again before I buy 5 & 6. All in all...I would recommend these to someone who wants something different in the comedic and quick witted line of a show.

Purtroppo in seguito ad un dischetto fallato mi è stata fatta la sostituzione in un giorno soltanto! Il secondo prodotto funziona perfettamente ed è una serie tv veramente divertente, bella, merita di essere vista. Se vi piacciono le indagini ma volete anche ridere sicuramente questa serie tv vi divertirà. Direi però alle case produttrici che dovrebbe aumentare i controlli qualità, sempre più spesso si trovano dischetti fallati che s'impiantano.

Inhaltsangabe : Der Inhalt müsste hinlänglich bekannt und oder bereits beschrieben worden sein, darum werde ich hierzu nichts mehr sagen. Fazit : - Story 5 / 5 = unschlagbar. Die Fälle sind durchweg klug aufgebaut, interessant und abwechslungsreich. - Darsteller 5 / 5 = jeder für sich spielt seine Rolle schon sehr gut. Man meint, sie wären für ihre Rollen geboren :-)) - Chemie zw. Darstellern 5 / 5 = Hierbei handelt es sich zweifelsohne um das "Prunkstück" der Serie und macht sie einzigartig. Ich versuche an der Stelle die Genialität mal in Worte zu = fassen. Soweit es diese überhaupt vermögen, der Beschreibung besagter Genialität gerecht zu werden. = In dieser Form bis dato nicht da gewesen und sucht im Seriendschungel seinesgleichen. Der Mix zwischen Harmonie (allen voran natürlich Shaun und = Gus, aber auch der Rest der Stammbesetzung setzt in diesem Genre neue Maßstäbe) sowie Dis-Harmonie (Shaun und Captain Lassiter, auch = liebevoll von Shaun "Lessi" getauft:-)) sorgt dafür, dass einem jeder einzelne der Charaktere mit jeder Folge mehr und mehr ans Herz wächst. - Atmosphere 5 / 5 = Mehr Amerikafeeling geht nicht. Santa Barbara ist eben schon ein schönes Plätzchen :-) - Humor 5 / 5 = Einfach ohnegleichen. Sowohl was die Dialoge angeht als auch die Mimiken sowie die daraus resultierende Situationskomik. Der Witz ist weder zu übetrieben = noch zu gering vertreten. Er wirkt auch in keinster Weise gekünstelt bzw. gezwungen. Dickes Lob hier an die Dialogbuchautoren, die mit dem Grad des = Humors meines Erachtens genau das richtige Maß getroffen haben. = Was soll ich dazu mehr sagen, man M U S S das einfach gesehen haben. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ Gesamt 25 / 25 Die volle Punktezahl in jeder der 5 Kategorien ist wohl auch eine Erklärung dafür, dass die Serie etwas ausstrahlt, wie es kaum eine andere zu tun vermag : "Flaire". Die gesamte Stammbesetzung spielt ihre Rollen mit einer derartigen "Leichtigkeit des Seins", dass man glatt meinen könnte, die Schauspieler würden bereits die 3.Staffel miteinander drehen. Die Serie hat einfach einen Charme, der seinesgleichen sucht. Wer auf entspannte und humorvolle Krimiserien steht, sollte sich Psych U N B E D I N G T zulegen. Ausblick auf die 2.Staffel (ohne Spoiler) : Wem diese Staffel gefallen sollte, kann sich getrost auch die 2. besorgen, denn sie schafft es mühelos das ohnehin schon hohe Niveau aufrecht zu halten. 5 / 5 Sternen (Genial) PS : Eine ebenfalls geniale Serie, die ich jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen kann ist "Bones". Sie ist definitiv auf Augenhöhe mit Psych, allerdings ist der Humor eher unterschwelliger Natur, aber nicht minder genial.

Zur Serie: USA Network hatte früher mit Suits, Monk, White Collar, Covert Affairs & vorallem mit Burn Notice& Psych viele fantastische feel-good Serien im Programm (was ist bloß mit USA Network passiert?:-( ) Von all diesen qualitativ guten Serien gehörte Psych mit zu den besten, die Fälle sind interessant, das Santa Barbara setting schön und die Charaktere schräg &liebenswert. Zur Staffel 1: Staffel 1 gehört mit zu den besten Staffeln der Serie und ist mein persönlicher Favorit. Die Chemie zwichen Roday, Hill und Omundson stimmt gleich von beginn an. Allein Anne Dudek passt nicht wirklich in die Serie weshalb das recasting der weiblichen Hauptrolle nach dem Pilotfilm meinermeinung nach eine sehr gute Entscheidung war. Die einzelnen Fälle sind nicht so komplex oder vielschichtig wie z.B. Episoden von Person of Interest das ist es aber auch nicht was die Serie trägt, es geht mehr um spaßige leichtere Unterhaltung was Psych bestens beherscht. Alles in allem ist Psych nicht meine lieblingsserie sie ist vielleicht nichtmal in meiner Top 5 aber es sind die DVDs die mein Blu-Ray player am meisten rauf und runter spielt und zwar vorallem Staffel 1&2. Besten Episoden: - Shawn gegen das rote Phantom -Da möchte man in ruhe Bürgerkrig spielen -Tiere, Menschen ... Endstation Schwächsten Episoden: -Spiel Satz... und Straftat -Pokerface gegen Pokerface(Die einzigen zwei Episoden die ich noch nicht 100 mal gesehen hab aber trotzdem noch solide unterhaltung)

Questa serie é davvero strepitosa, all`inizio puó sembrare banale ma, col passare degli episodi la serie si trasforma in un prodotto davvero geniale. Pysch rende le investigazioni poliziesche piú leggere dando un tocco di comicitá e suspanse molto intelligente e ció che porta al sucesso questa serie sono il cast da cui é composto(davvero grandioso) e l`originalitá di ogni episodio. Concludo dicendo che la spedizione fatta da amazon ha rispettato la data di consegna e il cofanetto é arriavto in perfette condizioni.
