Psych is a USA Network series that follows the highly-comical detective endeavors of fake psychic Shawn Spencer. Shawn, brought up by his cop father, Henry Spencer, was trained, given powers of acute observation and other skills needed to solve mysteries in Henry's hopes that Shawn would one day join the long line of cops in the family. However, Shawn soon strayed from Henry's vision and spent many years of his young-adult life working various odd jobs. Shawn's hobby was calling in tips to the police on high-profile crimes that he caught on the news. One day, however, Shawn's hobby smacked him in the face, as he was brought to the police station as a suspected accomplice to a recent murder.
Then and there, Shawn made up the lie that he was psychic, and through some highly convincing theatrics, it worked. The police then hired him as the "Head Psychic" and began to bring him in on difficult cases that usually had the police stumped. Along for all the adventures is Shawn's reluctant but loyal best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster, who has a straight, narrow, and secure job as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Disbelieving of Shawn's psychic charade is Head Detective Carlton Lassiter, who would sooner cuff Shawn than follow a "vision." Other central characters include Lassiter's partner, Juliet O'Hara, and Interim Police Chief Karen Vick, both of whom are often amused by Shawn's "psychic" influence.

Why do all the best shows have to end? :_(
It really is one of the best series.
<3
It went out all right, and I liked the general way it wrapped up, though I didn't actually care for the episode itself. Really, there were only two good episodes this whole season, but, the show was hilarious and totally worth it.
The after pshow was . . . (and this is totally unrelated really), well, it was exactly why I never, ever, ever, want to meet an artist I like.
Also, the cast looks crap with beards. What the hell. LAssie is all right, but, dude, he really looks like he would be a fantastic horror movie character, or playing Faeydor Dostoevsky.
Farewell Psych.
Finally caught up. Apart from despareaus episode season 8 is. . . No matter, about 100 good episodes, I'll survive a bad final season. Lord knows I did for House.
Noooo, the show will end soon! So sad!
Awesome show, just finished season 2, will keep watching an episode or two a day.
OMG. February 27th?! Come on USA Network. You're killing my buzz. Bring this shit back, now!
10/10
how do more people not like this show? Pretty funny, plus the whole premise is pretty sick. So underrated
