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
