Psych is such a great show because practically every character is the absolute Silliest of Billies and this fact only becomes clearer the further you watch into the show.

I STARTED WATCHING PSYCH

I know Lassie's pan but it's for the joke

Dean Winchester and Shawn Spencer would be making out sloppy style before the SPN/Psych crossover episode even got through the cold open send tweet

detective activities

psych is such a good take on a modern detective bc most detectives r like grrrr 😡 I’m an uptight grumpy goose who the world has worn down 😡 I’ve seen more terrible things than u can even imagine 😡 don’t insult my intelligence with your blathering. and shawn spencer, a bisexual adhd whirlwind w daddy issues, is like ‘ew a dead body. gross! let me put on a silly disguise and flirt with the suspects. maybe do a dance. by the way it was the nanny I knew that like ten hours ago but needed to dramatize the moment for the bit’

sorry but crime stories are only valid when they star…Him.

The reason Psych is the Important Show of All Time is because it said "friendship is the MOST important thing." Like, yes, the romances were good but the show spends even more time emphasizing and developing the friendships and that's why it rocks. Lassiter and Juliet love and support each other unconditionally without even the slightest whiff of romance and it is SO. REFRESHING. When Juliet almost dies, Lassie sacrifices his favorite gun to save her without any hesitation. He's the one there to hold her while she cries. She's his confidant. She leaves everything she knows behind so he can chase his dream of being chief without reprocussion. That's a deep, wholesome kind of platonic love. They also never had Shawn be jealous of how close Jules and Lassie are - instead, in the final episode, we see Shawn thanking Lassie for loving and supporting Juliet. We simply don't do that jealousy crap here. Lassie and Jules are best friends and that's an excellent thing. And then there's Shawn and Gus. Those characters are narratively and physically inseperable. The show makes it VERY clear that, without the other, neither one is complete. They balance each other and exacerbate each other's hijinks at the same time. They're closer than close and everyone around them just accepts it. It's just the way those two dumb boys are and no one is going to try to get between that. And then, of course, SO many friendships develop over the course of the show. Lassie and Shawn form a begrudging friendship eventually. Juliet and Karen end up bonding more than I think either expected. Friendship is the beating heart of this series and it's presented in a way that is unique and fun and I just don't see a lot of other shows that do it like Psych did.

I created this and felt the need to share

my favorite moments in every psych episode 6/124

S01E06 - Weekend Warriors

BURTON GUSTER & SHAWN SPENCER in PSYCH (2006-2014)

Shawn and Gus happy dances

Behind every great man is a great woman. And in my case, that woman is an intelligent, sophisticated, full-foreheaded stallion named Burton. And she's black. And she can dance.
