A subreddit devoted to all things Psych! This is the place to talk about the silliest, most pineapple-filled show on USA Network.
Show Summary:
Shawn Spencer has developed a keen eye for detail after being instructed by his police officer father to note even the most minute details of his surroundings. After conning the police into believing that he's a psychic, Shawn opens a detective agency with best friend Burton Guster.

Some that come to mind:
Homidicio - Lance Rothstein mixing it up with the riff raff
Zero to Murder - Wally and his antics
A Very Juliet Episode - J.T. Waring and his Billy Zanian qualities (shout out to the cake extra high in iron)
Chivalry is not Dead - Gus hitting on a homicidal lesbian
Anything with Marlow, particularly when she’s getting into altercations
What would happen? And how would Lassie and Juliet work with Monk?
Even if they don’t do the dolls anymore
Psych has some great locations throughout its series and movies. What are some episodes that you think have the most eclectic locations? For me, I think Autopsy Turvy is a great one:
-True crime bookstore (RIP Whip) -Afro-Thai restaurant (Phat Thai Jones) -Retro dime-a-dance hall -Fortune teller (Miss Ivana's Nirvana; I think Ivana is the show's only true psychic) -Performace art house
I was walking around Half-Price Books today and was on my way out of the store empty handed before taking a glance at the collectibles. Would have never thought to see one of these out in the wild! If anybody recognizes what episode this specific still is from that’d be great to know! I think it’s maybe from season 3??? Anyways, hope yall enjoy!
“I want to weep and then die”
One of my favorite things about Psych is the volume of guest stars that play in other roles
Obviously there are the big ones (Breakfast Club, for example), but there are tons of maybe lesser known options as well
A favorite for me is Malcom Barrett as Wally in Zero to Murder in 60 Seconds. He plays Lem Hewitt from Better Off Ted which was a fantastic corporate satire (imo) and killed off way too soon. It had hints of Arrested Development, and only lasted 2 seasons 😔
What are your favorites?
Anybody else watch Criminal Minds? Does Chief Vick not sound like Emily Prentiss? I guess realistically I mean Kirsten Nelson sounds like Paget Brewster but you get what I mean.
So does anyone know if Psych ever references She’s All That? I know they have referenced holes and the guardian and even his tap dancing from movies but I don’t recall any for this one. Does anyone know That they can remember

I am just making this post to say they missed out on having the cast sing the intro song to the two episodes at the end of season 7. Would have been legendary.
i’m up to “scary sherry: bianca’s toast”, can someone explain the has anyone ever told u u look like bud from the cosby show?
I ask this as a big fan of both shows, so this isn't a knock but I'm rewatching Castle now for the first time in years and I've noticed their cases and episodes are very similar. I'm sure in these types of shows in general, there are only a handful of themes you can really use and each tells us a different way. But I was curious if anyone else noticed that the themes are fairly similar. Like right now, Becket (female detective of Castle) didn't know she was still previously married before marrying Castle. Or when Ryan and Espisito were trapped in a building because an arsonist was setting fires to buildings. There are multiple episodes that have similar cases and just found it interesting.
After they find out that Louis is El Diablo, Shawn just…keeps that fleece leather jacket lol.
Unless he bought it off whoever left it in the bike offscreen, he just walks off with it.
I dunno this was just funny to me
I mean Jules…this is just beneath you 😂😂😂
