DVD Reviews of Psych: The Complete First Season
DVD Review: One of the Best New Shows on TV
Summary: 5 Stars
"Psych" is one of the best new shows on any television network. Created by Steve Franks, who is also an executive producer and a writer on the show, "Psych" is a one of a kind series that beautifully combines mystery, comedy, drama, and suspense.
Shawn Spencer (James Roday) is a young slacker, who has constantly bounced around from job to job. But, he possesses an amazing gift, thanks to a childhood spent with his strict, humorless policeman father, Henry (Corbin Bernsen). He has an amazing photographic memory and an uncanny ability for observing insignificant details. One night after a date, he calls in a tip to the police and is brought in the next day for questioning by detectives Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and Lucinda (Anne Dudek). After Lassiter acussess Shawn of being involved in the high profile kidnapping case, he gets out of it by revealing himself to be a psychic. Interim Cheif Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) reluctantly brings in Shawn to investigate, having known his father during his time as a cop. He brings in his reluctant best friend Gus (Dule Hill) to assist. Shawn and Gus' success in solving the case sets up the rest of the show. Shawn and Gus establish the Psych detective agency to consult with the police on difficult cases (usually homicides) as well as taking on other interesting clientele. Detective Juliet O' Hara (Maggie Swanson) would replace Dudek's character for the remainder of the show after the pilot.
The rest of this groundbreaking first season beautifully illustrates the unique variety of cases Shawn and Gus would undertake. Everything from underground poker, to a cat who witnesses a murder, to a murder at a civil war reinactment. Every episode is another hilarious misadventure for this duo.
I highly reccomend "Psych". It's a great TV series with everything one such series should have. The stories are strong, the characters are all wonderful, the witty jokes just keep coming and coming, and the overall premise is like no other. The '80s pop culture references are also great. Its funny watching Shawn fake his psychic abilities. Gus knows he is fake, but supports his effort. Henry and Lassiter know he is a fraud, too, but learn to accept his gift as the series goes on. O' Hara and Vick either are convinced or they choose not to acknowledge that he is not really psychic. If you like "Monk", you'll probably appreciate this show for most of the same reasons. For fans of the show, owning this 4-disc set is a must! Here is a brief synopsis of each episode in this season:
1. The Pilot: The very first episode of the series. Fake psychic Shawn Spencer and his best friend Burton "Gus" Guster are brought in by the Santa Barbra police department to investigate a high profile kidnapping.
2. Spellingg Bee: Shawn and Gus try to figure out why the Spellmaster at a local regional spelling bee was murdered.

9. Forget Me Not: Henry's former Captain, suffering from Alzheimer's, needs Shawn's help when he belives to have solved a recent homicide, but can't prove it.
10. From the Earth to Starbucks: After a drunken Lassiter admits to Shawn his doubts about the death of an astronomer or to ever solve a case again, Shawn is determined to prove Lassiter right and rebuild his confidence.

14. Poker? I Barely Know Her: When a good friend of Henry's refuses to call the police after his son steals from him, he forces Henry to go to Shawn and Gus for help.
