Like the USA Network's Monk, Psych combines crime-solving with comedy. Shawn Spencer (writer/actor James Roday, Miss Match) and Burton "Gus" Guster (The West Wing's Dule Hill) have been friends since the 1980s. Aside from their divergent styles--walking encyclopedia Gus plays straight man to Shawn's hyper-observant goofball--the former passes himself off as a psychic. Together, they work with the Santa Barbara Police Department, represented by Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) and detectives Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Carl "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), their tightly-wound nemesis. The second season allows the duo to dig deeper into their pop-culture past. As before, every episode begins with a childhood incident that anticipates the case to come, most involving Shawn's dad, Henry (L.A. Law's Corbin Bernsen), a hard-nosed ex-cop. "American Duos," for instance, spoofs American Idol with Tim Curry as a snide judge and Gina Gershon as his spaced-out colleague, while "65 Million Years Off" recalls Jurassic Park when a paleontologist turns up dead. Other guests include Kerry Washington as a figure from Gus's past ("There's Something About Mira") and Phylicia Rashad and Ernie Hudson as Gus's parents, from whom he inherited his superior sense of smell ("Gus' Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy").Though it takes a few episodes to find its footing, Psych's second year surpasses the first, and abundant extras make this four-disc set essential viewing. They include digressive commentary on 13 episodes (with Roday, Hill, and creator Steve Franks, who also performs the catchy theme song), deleted scenes, a gag reel, animated promos (The Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus), and a handy guide to the pineapple references in every show. Clearly, the makers of Psych love their work, and their enthusiasm is infectious. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Takes me back and entertains the whole family August 12, 2008
Psych is one of the best shows on cable TV. I rarely TIVO a show but this one my family watches over and over. We quote Psych lines all the time. I love the obscure 80's references since that was my decade. Found out James (Shaun) and I grew up in the same city and our high schools played against each other. I began watchign the show because I was a Dule Hill fan but now I watch it for their (Shawn and Gus)banter. The writers are awesome! Mostly clean for the whole family. Occasional mild swear word or innuendo goes over my kid's heads. Scary Sherry by far my favorite episode from season 1. Season 2 best episode is American Duos! Must see! I have never purchased a TV show but had to own Psych on DVD!
I watch it with the subtitles on... August 10, 2008
because the dialogue comes at me so fast & furious (& funny!) that it helps catch it all. Shawn's lines are frequently *hilarious*.
It's a slightly uneven show but very, very, entertaining and light-hearted but not light-weight. The writers sometime steal little things from old shows like Columbo, but it's done more as an homage, IMHO. Good stuff.
Psyched for Psych August 9, 2008
A refreshingly original and cleverly written comedy, Psych is full of laughs and fun characters. James Roday is hilarious in his antics and interactions with the rest of the cast.
 Psyche second season August 8, 2008

first CD in season is poor quality in any category; others are much better but character development is for the most part lacking.
Great DVD August 5, 2008
If you enjoyed the first season of Psych, you will enjoy this
second season. Hope this tv series lasts for awhile.
