I’ve been a long time Psych fan since the very beginning and have loved the shows overuse of pop culture references, special guest stars and the ability to just be outright silly without feeling ashamed. When Shawn confessed to Juliet that he wasn’t really a psychic, an event that transpired from a very forced plot device, I kind of knew the show was going to be over. 
 
The whole gimmick of the show was that Shawn was a psychic and that he was using his keen detective skills to solve cases while maintaining the illusion that he was clairvoyant. Where else was the show going to go after revealing that key plot device but down the drain? Again, it’s really a shame because the first half of season seven was spot on Psych, and then after the show comes back form the break everything seems to fall apart. 
 
Now season 8 does have some gems in it, but for the most part it feels phoned in, especially (and sadly) the finale. That being said the show did offer up a hefty amount of special features in the final season release which included pod casts, commentaries, deleted scenes, gag reels, a directors cut of the awesome A Nightmare on State Street starring Burn Notice’s Bruce Campbell, music video’s, Goodbyes, and the Musical episode from season 7. By all accounts there isn’t much to complain about if you’re a Psych fan and you footed the bill for this final season of the show on DVD (other then the fact that it’s been filmed in HD and Psych has yet to be released on the BD format). 
 
I wasn’t to jazzed about the DVD casing for the 8th season. One disc sits all on it’s lonesome while the other two are leveled one on top of the other. Other then that it’s clearly a great good-bye from the show gift wrapped with all kinds of goodies.
