Ring the alarm bells! Fellow Psych-O's, this is your call to arms! Netflix has officially taken Psych out of their library! While this may not be as vital as, say, the presidential election, Psych has played a big role in my life. I pull a lot of my humor and personality from the antics of Shawn and Gus. For all you non-Psych-O's out there, Psych is a detective comedy centered around Shawn Spencer, a so called "Psychic Detective". Along with his childhood friend, Burton "Gus" Guster, Shawn opens up a psychic detective agency and becomes a consultant with the Santa Barbara Police Department to solve cases. Here is a look back at the show and at the top 5 episodes.
1. "Pilot", Season 1, Episode 1

2. "65 Million Years Off", Season 2, Episode 2
This episode showcases one of the best relationships in Psych: Shawn and Lassie. Lassie has been solving a lot of cases recently, and does not need Shawn's "Gift" to help him.
