Every Friday at 10 pm, I drop everyone I'm doing and turn the tv onto USA Network to watch my favorite show - Psych. The show stars James Roday (Beerfest) as Shawn Spencer, a young crime consultant for the Santa Barbara, California Police Department (SBPD) whose "heightened observational skills" and impressive detective instincts allow him to convince people that he is psychic. The program also stars Dulé Hill (Holes) as Shawn's best friend, straight man, and reluctant partner Burton "Gus" Guster.
I love the chemistry of these two actors on the screen. It's natural and never fails to make you laugh, as both of them would willingly leave each other at the first sign of danger. Shawn's random comment is just like his personality as he gives the strangest comments from people's hair to movies some have never heard of. Their are many running jokes on the show center around Shawn's love of pineapples (even though he has a "distaste" for pointy objects), which he will often bring as gifts to people he is meeting for the first time; his inability to turn his phone on vibrate, even when spying or infiltrating the homes of suspects; his fondness of Val Kilmer; and his comments on other people’s hair.
Gus has been Shawn Spencer's best friend since childhood, and co-owns the detective agency "Psych" with him, after Shawn was able to forge Gus' name on the lease. Gus tends to be straight-laced and more cautious, although he has been friends with Shawn for long enough that he understands that Shawn cannot be stopped once his mind has been made up. Gus has a job in pharmaceutical sales and with his vast knowledge of drugs, he helps to identify poisons and other drugs used in crimes to help solve cases. Gus also has a very refined sense of smell, and has nicknamed his nose "the Super Smeller."
I recommend this show for everybody. It's on season 3 right now, but season 1 & 2 are currently on DVD. If you want to check it out before committing to this awesome show, try going on http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/
