Psych (a cool TV progam show)

Recently at school (on Friday-YEAH that recently) I heard to people talking about the show Psych in every period, and in the lunch line. That made me feel kind of funny, because that is one of my favorite cool TV program shows, and it was interesting for me to think that so many people like it. I guess I should have known that it was pretty popular, because it has 6 seasons, but it made me laugh a little. All of the episodes from seasons one through five are on Netflix Watch Instant, and I would encourage people to try it out. It is truly laugh out loud at times and I became addicted to it last summer.

I guess the reason that I really like the really cool TV program show, Psych, is that many of it's jokes are really obscure, and it doesn't care. It just keeps telling joke after joke that the writers must know many people won't get. That isn't to say, however, that there aren't universally funny jokes thrown in the mix, like....

I don't know, maybe this is kind of obscure. If you don't get it, watch Jaws, it's actually also on Netflix Watch Instant, and it's a cool Movie program show. It's about a shark, with jaws (ahhh, you see) that eats people.

Anyway, back to Psych. Something that it has going is that it's not overly dirty. Not that I really care, and probably the two of you don't care either, but this could be a show that you could watch with your parents and not become an embarrassed saucy pants when something that is.... I don't know, sensual is mentioned. There are a few baudier (Thesaurus comes in handy) things in there, but not worse than Shrek, I guess. Plus, yo' momma's so drugged up that she won't even notice what you're watching. Sorry, that was in poor taste, I know she OD'd last year...psych! (see what I did there)

Which brings me to my next point. Dictionary.com has three deffinitions for the word psych, and the third one is the one that's most applicable to the show. It says psych means to figure out psychologically, to decipher. This applies to the show because the protagonist, Shawn, is a Santa Barbara PD consultant who helps the police solve crimes, most often murder cases. He is also a "PYCHic" detective, and runs an PI agency with his friend Gus. So basically, I wrote this paragraph to say that the title of a show makes sense in the context of what the show is about.

In conclusion, I would like to strongly urge you (the two of you) to watch this show if you have Netflix, or rent the DVDs, or pirate it online. Wait, don't do that. I seem to remember reading an article about netiquette somewhere...now where could that have been? Anyway, try to get your hands on a some Psych episodes, and you'll be able to get in on some inside jokes, such as the "Where's the Pineapple" game. I actually don't know if it's a game, but I do know that there's something with this show and pineapples. Anyway, try to watch it. Have fun (unless you think the show sucks).
