"Psych" You Out In The End
Sometimes it's hard for me to find time or brain cells or motivation to blog. But my "idiot box" watching activities last night prompted me to give a quick plug to a fantastic show.
I'm not going to try to give you the entire plot of the USA Network show called Psych. I'm just going to highly recommend that you either watch it, tape it, or Tivo it on Friday night at 10 p.m. Not only is it hilarious, but it is smart, and the chemistry between Dule Hill and James Roday is as perfect as can be.
Imagine a man who was raised by his police sergeant father, who is a major control freak. One thing he taught his son Shawn is the power of observation. For example, Shawn and his dad were eating in a diner, and Shawn asked for dessert. His dad told him to cover his eyes, which Shawn did grudgingly. He was then asked how many hats were in the room, where they were, and what kind. Yes, Shawn got it right.
Fast forward to the current day. Shawn keeps calling in tips to the cops, and collecting rewards. But the cops begin to think he's in on the crimes. In reality, Shawn just watches the news and notices little things that the cops miss. To get out of being arrested, he gives a display of his abilities, but goes through a whole routine to convince the cops that he is psychic. He and his best friend Gus (Dule Hill) then form a psychic detective agency to help the Santa Barbara cops solve crimes.
James Roday and Dule Hill are hilarious. You can tell they have a blast on the set and that they positively love doing this show. My family laughs out loud at each and every episode.
Want to get the best start on this series? Season 1 is now available on dvd.
