Movie Reviews of Psych: The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: PSYCH is sooo darn refreshingly funny!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just started watching PSYCH and have only watched up to Season 3, Episode 9 "Christmas Joy" and cannot see myself tuning out any time soon AT ALL. :0) I have literally sat and watched 5 or 6 episodes IN A ROW at a time. I keep telling myself I cannot believe I have not been watching this show all along!! I am absolutely thrilled at how this show has evolved over each and every season. I even sing the theme song every time it comes on. LOL
THE BAD:
Like the other reviewer(s) have mentioned, there a few quirks you start to notice like due to the weather, it is becoming quite evident they are filming in Canada and not in "supposedly" sunny Santa Barbara, or that Cybil Shepherd is good in theory as Sean's mom but is not really a good "fit" for the show or that in the very 1st season, Gus was on that slippery of slope becoming TOO MUCH of a fall guy bordering less on poor sap sidekick and more on complete idiot and Sean is making him look stupid "just because" without any conscience none whatsoever.....which was really wearing thin on my funny bone. I almost for a brief second stopped watching the show because of this. Now, don't get me wrong I watched the old Odd Couple reruns with my grandfather, so I am all for a good "screw-up guy beats up on stuffy-guy" matchup. But this really was becoming too much to sit through. It was just starting not to be believable that Gus was that big of a simpleton after you got to know his character. He was a pharmaceutical rep with extensive chemical knowledge for Pete's sake! However, I noticed as the series went on, Gus started to not be so uncharacteristically "stupid" (for lack of a better word) and they became "equal partners" in the "shenanigans" which has now made this show a SUREFIRE WINNER. I also noticed they slacked up on all the hysterics Sean would use when he was "getting a vision." It was funny as hecky in the beginning but it really became a like an over-used joke. It just got old very quick to me and got on my nerves after a while. I say, kudos to them for toning that down. Now on the other hand, if Sean and Gus run screaming in every single episode, it would not bother me one bit. :0) I am sorry, but I live for their "scream attacks." LOL!
THE GOOD:
To sum this sermon up...:).....I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! It is not meant to solve world peace, cure deadly diseases or "rip from the headlines." This show is meant to make you laugh, PURE AND SIMPLE....PERIOD. It does not even focus on the deaths too much...which is SUPPOSEDLY its major premise (ha!)....when in all actuality, (in my opinion) the deaths and mysteries are only a backdrop for the comedy and the show's hilarious characters. Sometimes you even forget they ARE solving mysteries and homicides. There are not many shows where I find something to laugh out loud about LITERALLY in every episode. And, this season's episodes are no different. They are downright funny! Right now my favorite is "Disco Didn't Die, It was Murdered." That "70's jive" dialogue scene between Sean and Gus had me doubled over in pain and crying real tears I was laughing so hard. I hit rewind like 3 or 4 times. Their timing was MAGNIFICENT and Gus was just at his absolute funniest. I am sooo glad I "picked up" this show and have had the joy of watching it from the beginning. I don't know what future seasons will bring, but I cannot wait to find out!! If this show is not quite your cup of tea right now, I say, "Hold on!! It really does keep getting better." And this is coming from a former child and current adult with a slight case of ADHD. ;)
Summary of Psych: The Complete Third Season
Fake psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his best friend Gus (Dulé Hill) are cracking the case ? and cracking up audiences everywhere ? in all 16 Season Three episodes from the quick-witted detective series Psych. After earning a reputation for taking on the unusual cases that leave most sleuths scratching their heads, Shawn and Gus are in for more mayhem this season as they tackle mysteries that range from the decidedly abnormal to the hauntingly paranormal. Join guest stars Cybill Shepherd (The L Word), Gary Cole (Pineapple Express), Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun) and many more in this fresh and funny show that Maureen Ryan of Chicago Tribune declares, ?Roday and Hill have the kind of chemistry you just can't manufacture.?As Psych's second year drew to a close, Gus (Dulé Hill) had become a pharmaceutical rep and Shawn (James Roday) welcomed his long-lost mother, Madeleine (Cybill Shepherd), back to town. In all other respects, the show remains the same. Gus just has two jobs instead of one, and the detecting continues. Later, Shawn reconnects with his treasure-hunting Uncle Jack (Steven Weber) and former flame Abigail (Rachael Leigh Cook), who seems likely to return in the future. The same goes for Chief Vick's sister, Coast Guard Commander Dunlap (Jane Lynch), who has eyes for the still-married Lassie (Timothy Omundson).
Other highlights include "Talk Derby to Me," in which Jules (Maggie Lawson) infiltrates a roller-derby team in order to catch some thieves, "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing," in which Shawn and Gus race to protect their uptight colleague's good name, "Tuesday, the 17th," a surprisingly scary take-off on Friday the 13th, and "Murder?... Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?," a high school reunion episode filled with references to the generation-defining films of the late John Hughes. And just to keep the fan worship going, Ferris Bueller's Alan Ruck and The Breakfast Club's All Sheedy make guest appearances during the season.
If this 16-episode set drags a little in the middle, Psych continues to bring the funny, and the entire cast has an appealing chemistry (we even find out a little more about Kirsten Nelson's Vick, such as her affection for Phil Collins). Like previous sets, this one includes a gag reel, above-average deleted scenes, and 12 commentary tracks split three ways: audio, podcast (without show dialogue), and video (on-screen interviews with the writers about specific episodes). Granted, the doubling of overcast Vancouver for sunny Santa Barbara remains completely unconvincing, but you can't win 'em all. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
