least fav ep of PSych for me

Nov 2023

I have recently gone through every episode of Psych again, and i am a fan, i think there are very few disappointing episodes, although the series started to get a bit weeker over the last couple of series.

This episode is a Christmas episode and its basically a version of Scrooge, although there is still a case going on as well.

The whole thing just came across as pointless to me, and making an episode for the sake of it. Apparently Corbin Bernsens character would of become a total slob if Shawn had not come back to Santa Barbara.

The case part of the episode was also very weak, so if i have to pick my least favourite episde then this is it.

5 out 10.

9/10!

A great Christmas special by a great show! Psych is so on point over the years with their holiday specials, from the atmosphere to the intros to the plot!

Storyline

Trivia
Right after Shawn looks into the snow globe the first time you can see the "Grinch" outside the window behind him stealing a Christmas gift from a couple.

Goofs
When Shawn wakes from his dream he realizes there were no cameras in the office he was searching and he says, "That surveillage footage was shot from the outside" when he should have said "surveillance".

This is within character. Shawn regularly mispronounces words when speaking, even when only to himself. Sometimes because he genuinely misspeaks, and other times just for fun.

Quotes
Shawn Spencer: Brace yourself, Gus, we're going to have to play by the book. It will be difficult but I'm going to help you through it.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: I always play by the book.
Shawn Spencer: I know. We are going to use impulse control. Which is the practice of controlling one's impulses. For instance I look down and see that roach there, and I tell myself, I can't eat that.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: Do I need to slap you in the face?
Shawn Spencer: Let's focus. We're going to bring the police in on this lead before we do anything else.
Burton 'Gus' Guster: What are you staring at?
Shawn Spencer: I'm telling myself, I can't squeeze your sweet sweet head.
