Editorial Review:
Fake psychic detective Shawn Spencer (James Roday) and his best friend Gus (Dulé Hill) are cracking the case – and cracking up audiences everywhere – in all 16 Season Three episodes from the quick-witted detective series Psych. After earning a reputation for taking on the unusual cases that leave most sleuths scratching their heads, Shawn and Gus are in for more mayhem this season as they tackle mysteries that range from the decidedly abnormal to the hauntingly paranormal. Join guest stars Cybill Shepherd (The L Word), Gary Cole (Pineapple Express), Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun) and many more in this fresh and funny show that Maureen Ryan of Chicago Tribune declares, “Roday and Hill have the kind of chemistry you just can't manufacture.”
Description of Psych: The Complete Third Season:
As Psych's second year drew to a close, Gus (Dulé Hill) had become a pharmaceutical rep and Shawn (James Roday) welcomed his long-lost mother, Madeleine (Cybill Shepherd), back to town. In all other respects, the show remains the same. Gus just has two jobs instead of one, and the detecting continues. Later, Shawn reconnects with his treasure-hunting Uncle Jack (Steven Weber) and former flame Abigail (Rachael Leigh Cook), who seems likely to return in the future. The same goes for Chief Vick's sister, Coast Guard Commander Dunlap (Jane Lynch), who has eyes for the still-married Lassie (Timothy Omundson).
Other highlights include "Talk Derby to Me," in which Jules (Maggie Lawson) infiltrates a roller-derby team in order to catch some thieves, "Lassie Did a Bad, Bad Thing," in which Shawn and Gus race to protect their uptight colleague's good name, "Tuesday, the 17th," a surprisingly scary take-off on Friday the 13th, and "Murder?... Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?," a high school reunion episode filled with references to the generation-defining films of the late John Hughes. And just to keep the fan worship going, Ferris Bueller's Alan Ruck and The Breakfast Club's All Sheedy make guest appearances during the season.
If this 16-episode set drags a little in the middle, Psych continues to bring the funny, and the entire cast has an appealing chemistry (we even find out a little more about Kirsten Nelson's Vick, such as her affection for Phil Collins). Like previous sets, this one includes a gag reel, above-average deleted scenes, and 12 commentary tracks split three ways: audio, podcast (without show dialogue), and video (on-screen interviews with the writers about specific episodes). Granted, the doubling of overcast Vancouver for sunny Santa Barbara remains completely unconvincing, but you can't win 'em all. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
Psych: The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Really Bad Show, PSYCH! 
2009-11-22 - Brilliant, hilarious, and simply great! At first it seems a little too hard for a show to pull off such a weird story line. But just like Monk (another great detective show)this show pulls it off perfectly. With great actors playing off each other in such a great way Psych is a simply wonderful show. Season 3 starts with the introduction of a new character, Shawn's mom. This, accompanied by a mysterious ghost story involving Gus' boss, make the first episode great. But the greatness doesn't stop there! Followed by other great episodes with twists and even some drama, Psych Season 3 may be one of the, if not the, best seasons of Psych!
Still brilliant
2009-10-27 - Yes, maybe it's a little over the top. But that's why it's good. Spencer's mom is great, and so is his high school crush. Gus gets better and better as the straight man.
Don't know what else to say - once you watch, you'll get hooked.
Psych; DVD
2009-10-26 - Outstanding series; one of my favorite TV shows. Can't go wrong with this duo.
The Humor, Drama, And Psychic Mayhem Grows With Each Passing Season
2009-10-11 - After so many crime shows and their copy like clones shows such as CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, and so on it's definitely nice to see a lightly touched drama with a dose of comedy and entertainment to switch over to. The cast for this show are amazing in their roles with the six main characters being James Roday as Shawn Spencer a young talented man with a keen photographic memory and a keen eye for details without a true agenda with his life who after solving a case for the police with the pretense of being a supposed psychic starts his own detective agency with his best friend Burton 'Gus' Guster played by Dule Hill, also Shawn will ask for help from his sometimes overbearing but also talented father a former police officer Henry Spencer played by Corbin Bernsen, but what show wouldn't be complete without the standard police duo one who is Shawn's and Gus's friend Juliet O'Hara played by Maggie Lawson and her partner an older police detective who sees the psychic duo as his personal thorn in the side Carlton Lassiter played by Timothy Omundson, and finally the police chief who seems to have a soft spot for the psychic duo gives Shawn and Gus their jobs Karen Vick played by Kirsten Nelson. The situations the psychic detectives find themselves in each episode is extremely hilarious and enjoying to watch, especially as you see Shawn play the psychic using his supposed abilities to solve the case at the end and also get his paycheck for the job. The cast again are incredible and their characters and seeing how they connect so well on the show is a joy to see, the series while it does deal with some hard scenarios like murder for the most part keeps the show pretty light so you won't find some hardcore serial killer or rapist that has to be caught and with heart wrenching scenes like the shows CSI or Criminal Minds. So if you're a fan of the show Monk and are looking for something similar or just getting tired of all these cloned shows that keep coming out here's a great series to get for your home library...
Psych:The Complete Third Season
2009-10-09 - I love this series they have great dry humor and make fun of life in general I think James Roday and Dule Hill make a great comic team and the other stars just add a huge bonus it reminds me of a dysfunctional family that just can't get enough of torture by being around each other
