Friday night is the Season Premiere of
Psych on USA. If you've never watched it before, you should. It is awesome, wonderful, hilarious, and fun -- I cannot stress that enough. Plus, part of the beauty of it is that you can start watching anytime & basically be able to pick up the concept without much of a problem. But, because I am cool, I will do a little summary/concept thing for you.
Shawn Spencer (James Roday - pictured left) has "heightened observation skills" (really, they're downright eerily smart & sharp) that were drilled into him at an early age by his somewhat control-freak father, Henry. But, much to his dad's dismay, Shawn never became a cop like his dad hoped & trained him to be. Instead, he drifts from job to job joyfully, making having fun his priority. But he can't exactly turn his skills off; after calling the police tip line so many times with clues to solve various crimes that he just picks up from watching news coverage, the police become suspicious of Shawn, thinking he may be involved himself. They're about to try to arrest him when Shawn comes up with an explanation beyond being smarter than the police -- that he's psychic. Wary, the authorities warn him that if they discover his "powers" are fake, they'll arrest him and give him a case to consult on to prove that he's real. So, Shawn teams up with his best friend (Dule Hill, pictured right on the pic link) and they start solving crimes by actually solving them on their own & then pretending to do the whole psychic bit later on in front of the cops. They're so successful that they're hired full-time & start their own "psychic detective agency," Pysch. It's hilarious, non-gory, non-complicated, and more so, hilarious. Everyone has great chemistry on the show (not even necessarily meaning the sexual sense), and it's just
really amusing. I know I've said that about a dozen times now, but it's entirely true.
