SEASON OVERVIEW:
Psych is a saucy detective dramedy that revolves around Shawn Spencer (James Roday), a young police consultant who elucidates crimes with powers of observation and deduction so acute that Santa Barbara Police Department detectives think he has psychic abilities. However, he initially took the back track. After tipping the police off about various crimes covered on the news, they decided to arrest him as a suspect… To avoid being sent to jail, Shawn used his exceptional observational skills and eidetic memory to convince the detectives that he is psychic. Although highly skeptical of his explanation, they hired him to help solve tough cases. Hoist with his own petard, he established a psychic detective agency and became a consultant to the police.
Besides turning real clues into hunches and otherworldly visitations, Shawn Spencer enjoys teasing his best friend and business partner, Burton “Gus” Guster (Dulé Hill). Also a pharmaceuticals salesman, Gus takes his work very seriously and, unlike Shawn, tries to act professionally. He is always willing to give his partner a helping hand, but usually ends up broken hearted after being attracted to all types of females, who eventually go a cropper… as the prime suspect. The one who helped Shawn hone his powers of observation and deduction was no other than his father, Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen, L.A. Law, The Young and the Restless), a former police sergeant who wished that his son would follow in his footsteps. The two have a difficult relationship, but despite this, Henry reluctantly helps Shawn on various occasions.
Head detective Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson, 24, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), playfully named “Lassie” by Shawn and Gus, respects Shawn’s work, but doubts his psychic abilities and is extremely annoyed by his antics. On the contrary, junior detective Juliet O’Hara (Maggie Lawson, ER, Smallville) and Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson, Ally McBeal, Without a Trace) are less antagonistic and give him the support and opportunities he needs to continue solving crimes.
Will Shawn become the detective he was trained to be? Tune in and find out!
