Psyched Out

I have been avoiding the computer for quite a while now due to the fact that rumours were circulating that the PMR trials were very soon. But now, it's been cleared up to be after the holidays, so, naturally... I have shoved my thick KH book aside and made my way here!

There is a new TV show I'm hooked on:
Not that there will ever be a show that can overtake my loyalty to CSI NY, but this comes mighty close.

Psych is a show that's a mix between House, CSI and well... Madam Zora. Two episodes into the show, and I'm hopelessly addicted. This series revolves around Shawn Spencer, who comes from a family of detectives, but thanks to his over-playful attitude, had never had the aptitude to become one himself. Shawn has a totally cool gift of observation, and he uses his talent to pretend he is a psychic. Though sceptical at times (some more than others), the Santa Barbara Police Department hires Shawn and his reluctant best friend, Gus as a psychic consultant to solve crimes.

Psych completely contradicts the CSI mentality. CSI solves crimes by placing evidence before everything else, while Shawn goes around based on hunches. (Gil Grissom would cringe...) However, the crimes are just as interesting and the quotes are hilarious. Shawn is like a young version of Dr. Gregory House.

It's only been two episodes so far but watch one, and if you don't wish you had Shawn's observation skills by the end of it, you aren't normal. It airs on Wednesday nights on Star World at 9 (replacing Heroes). Catch it for mind-boggling cases, and a really good laugh.

And you gotta admit, a show whose name doesn't have any vowels in it is really cool! Psych... (It's fun to type!) Psych.. psych... psych.... *chortles*


At a big-deal spelling competition...

Man: Is everything ok up there?

Shawn: It's fine....Uh, Banana.

Contestant 118: Can you repeat that?

Shawn: Yes....Banana.

[mutterings of audience]

Gus: [whispering] Banana, Shawn? It's the third round!

Shawn: [whispering] You could have helped me!

Gus: [whispering] This is a debt Shawn. We're walking.

[They start to pack up the tripod]

Contestant 118: Definition please.

Shawn: [whispering] What?...[into microphone] A yellow fruit. Also, a kind of pudding. A delicious pudding.

[Gus & Shawn try to rush out the door]

Contestant 118: Sentence please.

[Shawn gestures to the contestant, then returns to chair]

Shawn: Anna Banana, would like to hear, Venus by Bananarama...Banana.

[laughter in audience]

Contestant 118: B-A-N-A-N-A, banana.

[next contestant steps up]

Shawn: ........ Onion.

[Gus peers over Shawn's shoulder and spots a pink paper on the table]

Gus: WHAT? You're using his GROCERY LIST!!!????

---------------------

Gus: You named your fake detective agency Psych? Why didn't you just call it 'hey we're fooling you and the police department; hope we don't make a mistake and somebody dies because of it.

Shawn: First of all, Gus, that name is entirely too long; it would never fit on the window. And secondly the best way you convince people you're not lying to them is to tell them you are!
