Pineapples, Blueberries and Anything Psych

honestly I love the later seasons of psych mainly because they took Shawn’s craziness in the early seasons and gave it to lassie. Wdym he used to read his sister Miranda rights as a bedtime story. Wdym he’s been micro-dosing chloroform to build tolerance for over 15 years. Someone take away his gun that man is not mentally stable

One of my favourite things about gus and shawn is that they both approach their most fundamental and similar qualities in opposite directions. Shawn is a crazy person who happens to be intelligent. Gus is an intelligent person who happens to be silly. Shawn doesn't know the word "hence" but managed to identify a guy's argentinian accent from the 1 (one) month he spent there 10+ years prior. Gus deduces how an old tourist trap is falling apart due to illegal mining and asks "hmm why would a ghost do this" in the very next sentence. Shawn is the seemingly unsophisticated guy with frivilous tatse but Gus is the one obsessed with reality television. Sometimes they align together, sometimes they mismatch like polka dots and stripes. Dynamic of all time

remember that psych episode where tim curry told shawn and gus to kill themselves on live television? they just don't make em like they used to

feel like psych deserves more credit for manifesting guest stars from almost every single property it referenced. i know plenty of shows have pop culture relevant guest stars but none of them make references that are so very specific and none of them get 99% of their references to actually show up. like psych will throw out a name exclusively for the bit and then an unpredictable number of episodes/seasons later that person will literally show up as murderer/victim/random extended family member of the week with no comment. george takei. william shatner. cybill shepherd from moonlighting. almost every single actor from the breakfast club (one of them recurring!). biff and doc brown from back to the future. dr frankenfurter himself. literally carey elwes. john cena??? john rhys davies. half the cast of twin peaks. the original "come on son" guy. alan ruck. michael rooker. both leads from she's all that. winston from ghostbusters. bud's mom from the cosby show. curt smith from tears for fears (who also sang live with them at an event, like, twice). they mentioned billy zane and val kilmer so many times per season that through sheer willpower they got billy zane and val kilmer to both show up in their series finale. those guys committed to their bits so hard that they ended their show with one of the most diversified and stacked cameo rosters in tv & thats honestly so funny and iconic of them
