The first episode that got my funny bone is "The Devil's in the details ... and in the upstairs bedroom." It guest stars Ray Wise, and is a take on The Exorcist. Shawn is skeptical, but Gus believes a girl is truly possessed. The episode is known for Shawn's commercial theme "Bum bum bum, muffins!"
Another great episode is "You can't handle this episode," with guest stars Robert Patrick, and John Cena, as Juliet's brother, Ewan. Shawn is investigating a murder, and starts to suspect that Ewan is linked to some shady military dealings. Cena and Shawn played well off each other, but it also had a bit of a wall between Shawn and Juliet.
The last episode I have to talk about is the season finale. As in Season 3, the episode forgoes some of the comedy for the more serious moments. The episode is called "Mr. Yin Presents..." and guest stars Ally Sheedy. Shawn is hunting the famous Mr. Yin, the opposite of Sheedy's Yang serial killer. The episode was Psych's take on Alfred Hitchcock, and fans will see plenty to love about this episode. Besides the great mystery and a conclusion to Abigail's storyline, it leaves the killer completely mysterious, and (spoiler alert!) Juliet nearly killed. This was one of the best episodes in Psych-dom.
While the season was great, the special features were only so-so. I admit, I was bummed there weren't any of the famous Psych-outs you see at the end of some episodes. There was a gag reel, which is really funny, along with some deleted scenes, and four episodes have audio commentary -- which was just as entertaining as the episodes themselves.
I loved this season, and recommend it to any Psych fan, or any fan of delicious flavor (or good television). USA has hit gold, and I can't wait for more.
Sham psychic Shawn Spencer and sidekick Burton Guster are back for Season 5 of the USA Networks hit series, Psych. But before you tune in, you need to catch up with Season 4, and ask yourself one question: "Are you a fan of delicious flavor?" As a huge fan of Psych, I loved Season 4, but lets see if it's worth the $50.
The season, starring James Roday and Dule Hill, has some great hits, and revolves around Juliet and Shawn working out their awkwardness: Shawn's feelings for Juliet, (though he's dating Abigail, guest star Rachael Leigh Cook). The season had several guest stars, like Carey Elwes, Heroes star Sendhill Ramamurthy, James Brolin, Ally Sheedy, Jaleel White and the infamous Judd Nelson, among others. Let's recap some of my favorite episodes:
