Great show, terrible service
I ordered this half a year ago, and I still haven't gotten it. I'm giving it 5 stars because this is supposed to be a PRODUCT review, and I've seen every episode of the show and all the bonus features in season 1, no thanks to Amazon.com LLC (which is what it lists as the seller), I checked out the box set from my local library.Now, onto my review of Psych.Psych is hands down the funniest show I've ever watched, and it's become my favorite for a lot of reasons. The show follows Shawn Spencer (James Roday), the "psychic" detective, and his best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster (Dule Hill), the pharmaceutical salesman. At the end of the pilot, Shawn opens up a psychic detective agency, Psych, and even though Gus didn't want to be part of it, Shawn put his name on the lease.Shawn is hyper-observent - thanks to his father, Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen), training him when he was a kid, as seen in the flashbacks at the beginning of most episodes - and has an eidetic memory. He uses those to convince people that he actually is psychic, though he's nearly been caught before. He doesn't really take anything seriously, and before opening Psych, he just bounced between jobs, avoiding commitment. Shawn is constantly making obscure 80s references, giving Gus nicknames, and making Gus do stuff he doesn't really want to do. Gus is smarter than Shawn and usually has to explain things to him. He ends up correcting Shawn a lot, to which Shawn almost always replies, "I've heard it both ways." Gus also has the super-sniffer, which comes in handy every now and then. He's scared of a lot of things, which doesn't help Shawn, but his screaming and running away is priceless.Head Detective Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) is a 10-year veteran of the Santa Barbara Police Department, and he prides himself in his shooting and his ability to solve cases. He's skeptical of Shawn, and doesn't really like him because he steals his cases and solves them with little more than a hunch. Quite frankly, Shawn makes Lassie look pretty bad, but you know Lassie had to be good before Shawn came along, or else he wouldn't be the head detective. Junior Detective Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) is Lassiter's new partner after Shawn exposed his secret relationship with his old partner, Lucinda Barry. Her gentle personality compliments Lassie's nicely, and it's no secret that Shawn cares for her.Unlike most crime shows, Psych has a nice balance of comedy and mystery. And there's not really much gore, so it's something you could watch with your family. They do curse a little, and the season 1 "blooper reel" isn't censored, so just watch out for that.The actors portray their characters quite nicely. I don't think I've ever seen a show with a more perfect cast. Shawn's psychic "episodes" usually involve Roday having to flail around on set, and Gus's fears have Hill screaming that hilarious scream. I almost feel bad for Omundson because of all the strange stuff that's written for Lassie, but I've watched the audio commentaries and it doesn't seem like he minds it too much. I heard he enjoyed riding the horse in "Weekend Warriors" and I enjoyed every scene he was on a horse because he had that "face wig" on.I'm sort of rambling on, now, so I'll finish up with the pineapple. It's a running gag because of James Roday's improvisation in "Pilot" when he grabs the pineapple and says, "Should I slice this up for the road?" Since then there's been a pineapple in almost every episode, usually hidden, and a lot of Psych merchandise is or has a pineapple.So basically, Psych is kind of silly and ridiculous, but that's what makes it so awesome. So if you like crime dramas and comedy, you should really watch it. Maybe even if you don't like crime dramas.

This is our favorite show!
My husband and I have binged this whole series together several times. When I bought this for him as an anniversary gift, I hid each individual box set somewhere in the house with a pineapple all over the house and the yard. I told him to “go find the pineapples!” He LOVED it! That was several years ago, and it’s still in the Blu-ray player. We were watching it last night. Haha! Highly recommended!!

Outrageous!
Reasons that I am entertained by this series, set in the 1980s:1.) The " #metoo movement! " hates it. ({In one episode the male cop, repeatedly, tells a female to "shut it". Same man---in multiple episodes--- tells the female cop he doesn't want her opinion. Once, when that woman tells her boyfriend, the lead, that she doesn't want HIM to do something, he, then, tells his best friend "women say no when they mean yes"--- and is REWARDED for sexist behavior.})2.) The two male leads make lots of homophobic jokes.3.) The show also treats race as if it's a JOKE. The white male lead appropriates black culture many, many, MANY times. Asian stereotypes are the joke in ANY episode that features an Asian actor/actress.4.) SOME people----read the reviews----actually HATE-watch this show just to get outraged!5.) This is THE series that LOVES to be HATED: go figure!

Awesome comedy with great references to the past.
One of the best comedies that has about weekly references to and pay homage to the 80 from time to time and has flashback to it depending on a certain point that the story line is on.It is a great buddy show that has an awesome cast of characters that just work well together. If you do not buy now, you can go to watch it on peacock and come back to buy it later. I bought them as you never know when the apps will take these off their apps.

Amazingly Goofy series
This series kind of grew on me as it came out a few seasons later while Monk still reigned supreme in the USA channel.James Roday initially irritated the heck out of me but the ensemble cast they got as regulars have really rounded out the series premise and made this a good show to watch. Thus my collecting the series seasons.I know I can watch the reruns regularly but I collect series seasons mainly for my sisters' families abroad. They never get full sequential seasons of popular TV shows here in the US ( TV channels abroad pay huge fees to US companies for the right to show them just once or twice and a lot of European channels can't justify the outlay ) so I bring it to them.This was a great buy for me as I bought it on CyberMonday. I had previously gotten the later seasons but had lost track of what season was missing till I called up the relatives.I would highly recommend you buy this series collection if you've never seen it before. Or even if you have as the show has really gotten better as time has gone on and we care more and more about the characters.

Fun, Clean, and VERY Enjoyable Entertainment!
I originally gave this show a one-star review, but seriously, folks, you MUST get past the first season, and then it is all uphill from there. You can see how it took the writers, actors, and actually, all involved, to get their traction on this show but it sure does pay off. Once Season Two is under way, Dule Hill and James Roday are at the top of their game, so is the rest of the cast. The excellent chemistry amongst the crew is evident, and it pays off. Everyone knows their place, and how to pull a deluge of laughs from such a far-fetched and dubiously eye-rolling plot. It is fun, interesting, and sometimes, even knee-slapping hilarious! Don't miss out on Psych!NOTE: It is hard to find. It is not on any streaming services that I can determine. So you must buy the physical media, and the sellers must know that, because it's not cheap!

Apprezzabile
Sono un grande fan della serie, ho visto tutte le stagioni e ho voluto fare la collezione dei DVD.Il motivo delle tre stelle:1) non ci sono i sottotitoli in italiano nonostante tale indicazione sia presente nel "dettagli prodotto" (ma non nelle informazioni presenti sul retro del DVD).2) A quanto pare gli episodi nel terzo e quarto disco sono mischiati. Ad esempio, fonte wikipedia e cooming soon, l'ultimo episodio della stagione "confraternita" (Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast) è inserito come terza traccia del disco 3.Per quanto mi riguarda nel primo caso la mancanza è abbasta veniale in quanto mi accontento di gustarmeli in italiano, anche se non nascondo che mi sarebbe piaciuto ascoltarli in lingua originale con ovviamente i sottotitoli.Il punto 2 è oggettivamente più grave soprattutto perché è assurdo mettere il finale di stagione ben quattro episodi prima di dove dovrebbe effettivamente stare.Non ho ancora ultimato di vedere i quattro DVD ma fino ad ora la qualità in generale mi è sembrata molto buona.Se non esistono altre edizioni e se si vuole fare la raccolta delle stagioni non c'è molta scelta.

Der charmante Hellseher von nebenan!
Shawn (James Roday) ist eigentlich noch ein großes Kind, aus seinem Leben hat er eigentlich auch noch nicht viel gemacht, aber Dank der Erziehung seines Vaters - inzwischen als Cop im Ruhestand - verfügt Shawn über ein ausgeprägtes fotografisches Gedächtnis und Dank seiner Gabe gelingt es der Polizei von Santa Barbara diverse mysteriöse und teilweise scheinbar unlösbare Kriminalfälle aufzuklären. Shawn gibt sich dabei als Hellseher aus, obwohl einzig seine sehr gute Beobachtungsgabe sein einziger Trumpf ist. Gemeinsam seinem besten, aber ewig zweifelnden Kumpel Gus (Dulé Hill) gründen die beiden schließlich eine Detektei und rücken dem Verbrechen in Santa Barbara auf die Pelle ...Die Serie "Psych" liefert gute Laune von Anfang bis zum Ende, witzige Dialoge, tolle Hauptdarsteller - mal mehr, mal weniger spannende Kriminalfälle, verteilt auf 16 Folgen liefern über 45 Minuten wunderbare Unterhaltung. Einfach die perfekte Serie für einen Abend, wenn es mal nicht blutrünstig und düster sein soll - 5 Sterne.

Gut gemachte Serie
Shawn Spencer verfügt über eine außergewöhnliche Beobachtungsgabe. Er achtet auf jedes noch so kleine Detail in seiner Umgebung und bemerkt Dinge, die sonst oft niemandem auffallen. Spannend und Humorvoll.

Schräg, Spaßig und Sehenswert
Zur Serie:USA Network hatte früher mit Suits, Monk, White Collar, Covert Affairs & vorallem mit Burn Notice& Psych viele fantastische feel-good Serien im Programm (was ist bloß mit USA Network passiert?:-( )Von all diesen qualitativ guten Serien gehörte Psych mit zu den besten, die Fälle sind interessant, das Santa Barbara setting schön und die Charaktere schräg &liebenswert.Zur Staffel 1:Staffel 1 gehört mit zu den besten Staffeln der Serie und ist mein persönlicher Favorit. Die Chemie zwichen Roday, Hill und Omundson stimmt gleich von beginn an. Allein Anne Dudek passt nicht wirklich in die Serie weshalb das recasting der weiblichen Hauptrolle nach dem Pilotfilm meinermeinung nach eine sehr gute Entscheidung war.Die einzelnen Fälle sind nicht so komplex oder vielschichtig wie z.B. Episoden von Person of Interest das ist es aber auch nicht was die Serie trägt, es geht mehr um spaßige leichtere Unterhaltung was Psych bestens beherscht.Alles in allem ist Psych nicht meine lieblingsserie sie ist vielleicht nichtmal in meiner Top 5 aber es sind die DVDs die mein Blu-Ray player am meisten rauf und runter spielt und zwar vorallem Staffel 1&2.Besten Episoden:- Shawn gegen das rote Phantom-Da möchte man in ruhe Bürgerkrig spielen-Tiere, Menschen ... EndstationSchwächsten Episoden:-Spiel Satz... und Straftat-Pokerface gegen Pokerface(Die einzigen zwei Episoden die ich noch nicht 100 mal gesehen hab aber trotzdem noch solide unterhaltung)
