Psych - The Complete First Season

Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 06/26/2007 Product Description

Most Underrated Show Out There

I got excited for awhile when Psych was aired on NBC because i truthfully believe that if it were on a major network at prime time slot (not Fridays at 10 when a lot of the target audience may be out) it would be a huge hit. The humor is smart, and you can watch these episodes over and over and still enjoy them. I think I've watch some of the ones on this DVD over 20 times and I still laugh or at least smile every time I see it. The DVD is completely worth it whether you've been watching since the beginning or are looking to catch up or are looking for a great show to get into. For me it's my favorite show out there right now. I would recommend this 100%. Also season 2 is on DVD and it's also equally as amazing. I would recommend watching season 1 first, however, because there are references in season 2 (as well in the new season) that only seasoned Psych watchers get, and they make the show a lot more entertaining when they bring back the ever popular pineapple, the fist pounds, or the "hear about pluto? that's messed up."

Surprisingly fun entertaining mystery series

I admit that I stumbled across this series completely by accident. The West Wing is one of my favourite series of all time. When I heard that Dule Hill was starring in Psych, I assumed it was a deadly serious psychological drama. I mean, that is the kind of thing brilliantly talented actors like Dule Hill act in, right?

Wrong.

Whereas other crime dramas are going the serious and dark route, Psych does a complete and total 180-degree turn and goes for the laughs instead. The series takes its time building up both its characters and the situation, but once it gets going it is addictively funny viewing.

James Roday is a charismatic lead actor. There's a little Jim Carrey-ishness in his Psychic slapstick, but he has his own innate charm that allows him to pull off some outrageous stuff. And Dule Hill, as always, does great work as the straight-man - never an easy role to play when your co-star is stealing the limelight. Fortunately, Dule deftly holds his own.

I was delightfully surprised, in these grimly serious times, to see that series as lighthearted and entertaining as this are still being produced. It's a beacon of light in a bleak television landscape. October 19, 2008

Poker? I hardly know her.

James Roday is a great actor, and he proves it in all 15 episodes of the first season of Psych. I haven't listened to all of the commentary but there are some goodies you can find in each episode if you pay attention. For instance, watch episodes 6 and 8. In episode 9, there's something that combines those two eps. You just have to pay attention when they cut away from a scene. My favorite episode is "Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast".
Great DVD for your collection! October 14, 2008

Great Show!1

Pineapple Anyone?

The only thing missing from this season's DVDs are the 'Psych outs' that played on the original airings of the show. While a little disappointing, it doesn't distract from the rapid fire humor and great chemistry the cast has. September 4, 2008
