Movie Reviews of Psych: The Complete Second Season
Movie Review: The Funniest Mystery Show Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
For the second season of this wonderful mystery/comedy show, the producers wisely left things pretty much alone. Shawn Spenser (James Roday) comes from a long line of cops. But he rebelled against his father's (Corbin Bernsen) wishes and didn't become a cop. Instead, he pretends to be a psychic, using his finely honed observation skills to get the information for his "visions." He's even opened Psych, a psychic detective agency with best friend Burton "Gus" Guster (Dule Hill). And he has an impressive track record, much to the dismay of Detective Lassiter (Timothy Omundsun). Rounding out the cast are Santa Barbara Detective Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Interim Chief of Police Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson).
And what a collection of cases they have this year, too. Shawn and Gus join the TV sensation American Duos to find out who is trying to kill the head judge (played by Tim Curry). They become models to find out who killed both partners of a fashion house. Shawn must clear Gus' parents of murdering the neighborhood crank. When Gus' uncle (guest star John Amos) comes for a visit, Shawn and Gus have to switch places, without the police figuring out that both of them are faking it. Equally complicated is a case where a real psychic is brought in and Shawn must keep his secret from her. Shawn puts his credibility on the line by claiming one victim was killed by a dinosaur. And in the season finale, Shawn pins the crime on a mummy.
This show has real come together and is firing on all pistons now. The mysteries are tight and confusing. I might piece things together a little before Shawn, but not by much. And it doesn't matter because the entire fun is getting to the end. The over the top physical humor has been toned down this year (and that's a good thing), but there is still plenty of laughs. You've got cultural references spewed in mile a minute dialogue by Shawn and Gus, comedy from the character's relationships, comedy from the situations, and some physical humor. I can't stop myself from laughing out loud while I watch this show. And the cast does a great job holding it all together. They bring high energy to each episode, but they keep it real.
If you have missed this show, you have definitely missed out. Don't let another day go by without becoming a fan.
Summary of Psych: The Complete Second Season
Get ready for more quirky adventures with TV?s freshest and most eccentric sleuth as all 16 Season Two episodes of the hit series Psych arrive on DVD! Phony police psychic Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his skeptical best friend Gus (Dulé Hill) are back on the case in this 4-disc set. Joining them is a supernaturally talented roster of guest stars, including Primetime Emmy® Award nominee Tim Curry, Golden Globe® nominee Gina Gershon and Kevin Sorbo. Featuring two episodes directed by the legendary John Landis (National Lampoon?s® Animal House, The Blues Brothers) and over 45 minutes of can?t-miss bonus materials, Season Two of Psych is a must for every DVD library! Critics exclaim, ?It?s not only laugh-out-loud-until-soda-squirts-out-of-your-nose funny, but it?s also perfectly cast? (New York Post). We predict you?ll love every quick-witted moment!Like the USA Network's Monk, Psych combines crime-solving with comedy. Shawn Spencer (writer/actor James Roday, Miss Match) and Burton "Gus" Guster (The West Wing's Dulé Hill) have been friends since the 1980s. Aside from their divergent styles--walking encyclopedia Gus plays straight man to Shawn's hyper-observant goofball--the former passes himself off as a psychic. Together, they work with the Santa Barbara Police Department, represented by Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) and detectives Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Carl "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), their tightly-wound nemesis. The second season allows the duo to dig deeper into their pop-culture past. As before, every episode begins with a childhood incident that anticipates the case to come, most involving Shawn?s dad, Henry (L.A. Law?s Corbin Bernsen), a hard-nosed ex-cop. "American Duos," for instance, spoofs American Idol with Tim Curry as a snide judge and Gina Gershon as his spaced-out colleague, while "65 Million Years Off" recalls Jurassic Park when a paleontologist turns up dead. Other guests include Kerry Washington as a figure from Gus's past ("There's Something About Mira") and Phylicia Rashad and Ernie Hudson as Gus's parents, from whom he inherited his superior sense of smell ("Gus' Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy").
Though it takes a few episodes to find its footing, Psych's second year surpasses the first, and abundant extras make this four-disc set essential viewing. They include digressive commentary on 13 episodes (with Roday, Hill, and creator Steve Franks, who also performs the catchy theme song), deleted scenes, a gag reel, animated promos (The Big Adventures of Little Shawn and Gus), and a handy guide to the pineapple references in every show. Clearly, the makers of Psych love their work, and their enthusiasm is infectious. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
