I know, I know......the show is kind of corny, full of pop culture references to the 80's, the last two seasons were not that good, plot holes galore, etc.
But, I admit that I looked forward to every Thursday night for 8 years while Psych the TV series was on the air. No matter what bad day I was having I always found a way too laugh at Shawn and Gus. They were childish and goofy, but in a good way. In a tv culture awash with violent dramas about cops, this show was a breath of fresh air.
Anyway, Pysch: the Movie. On tonight on USA network. Suck IT!!!!!!

No cable... knew nothing about it. I hope it ends up online somewhere we can see it.
I really really enjoyed the show. Sure almost every episode ended the same way, O'Hara and Lassiter storming in at the last second, but we watched for the dialog, not the plot.

I have no tv, neither OTA nor cable. So I missed the movie but I did like the series and have several seasons on dvd. The show evolved from drama-comedy to comedy-drama. Was the transition influenced by the bi-racial I Spy show staring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby? A spy show that featured dialogue over explosions.
This show, Mainly on the Plains, seems to precurse Psyche for drama and farce...

Woo hoo! Thanks for letting me know. I missed it last night but it's on demand.
Yeah, I liked watching the series for it's comedic "non-psych" psych methodology.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I had to keep restarting about 5 times as I kept sleeping somewhere in the middle. I think I can only take Psych for 30 minutes at a stretch.
The back and forth between the two seemed a little fast paced. There certainly wasn't any subtlety with bringing up the shticks for old time's sake.
I enjoyed the movie.
In the end, there was a dedication to someone who died. Who was it? Was it the male detective partner? They had like a video conference between him and Jules and he looked like death warmed over being pasty and puffy. But I thought it was Sean's dad who died sometime during the series? But he had a part in the movie.

"...James Roday revealed that the Psych movie is dedicated to Terry Goldman, the manager behind the show’s social media presence at USA network who sadly passed away in 2017."

Sadly, this happened not long after it was announced that they were making a movie. As a result James Roday & the other writer who's name escapes me rewrote the script in 72 hours so production could continue. Hence why some bits may have seemed rushed or cobbled together. I also think it could have benefited from being about 1/2 hour (tv time) longer. They seemed to have edited out quite a bit towards the end.
Also what I couldn't believe was no John Cena until the very end. He was one of the best guest stars of the show.
Really enjoyed it. The wife and I were big Psych fans. I would love to rewatch the series and then the movie because I feel like we missed a lot of the more subtle references because we haven't seen it since it ended.
I hope they do more. I would love to see it rebooted as a mini-series and just let them do a 4-6 episode arc every year.
I was really hoping for a Tony Shaloub cameo since Monk got references in the series finale.

I enjoyed it and as others said, I forgot how much I missed them. It didn't feel like a "movie" to me, just a long episode. Though it really didn't feel long at all.
I'd be thrilled if they did one every now and again, sort of like the old Columbo's were back in the say.
