{television} psych; season one (2006)

They may look like a psychic detective agency, but don't be fooled: Motor-mouth Shawn (James Roday) is just a super-observant slacker, and his ultra-cool sidekick (Dulé Hill) is just Shawn's old pal Gus. Together, the funny detective duo solves crimes in the sun-drenched streets of Santa Barbara, Calif. This quirky comedy-mystery series also stars Corbin Bernsen as Shawn's cranky cop dad and Kirsten Nelson as chief of police.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** USA Network's tagline is "characters welcome" and boy, they aren't lying. Shawn Spencer is a great character in a great show. The cast is phenomenal especially the two lead actors James Roday and Dule Hill. The supporting cast is also strong. USA has scored another home run with this show. The episodes are all entertaining and have many great comic moments. I will say that I could do without the "psych out moments" with the cast singing. Not that funny at all. I'd rather see more bloopers which they show occasionally.
