PSYCH (2006–2014)
TRIVIA:
As a running gag, in every episode you'll find a pineapple, the word
"delicious," a fist bump, the phrase, "I can't do this right
now," and the question "What?"
James
Roday (Shawn Spencer) and Maggie Lawson (Juliet O'Hara) started dating during
the filming of season one. Their relationship lasted seven years.
Inspired
by how Series Creator Steve Franks' father, who was a Los Angeles Police officer,
would teach him how to be observant.
With
the exception of Emilio Estevez who appeared in name only as one of Shawn's
aliases, and Paul Gleason, every main actor and actress from The Breakfast Club
(1985) appeared in the series. Judd Nelson appeared in the episode "Death
is in the Air", Molly Ringwald appeared in the episode "Shawn
Interrupted", Ally Sheedy appeared in the episodes involving the Yin-Yang
killer and "Psych: The Musical", Anthony Michael Hall appeared in
"No Trout About It" and the beginning of season eight, and John
Kapelos appeared in two episodes ("Santa Barbarian Candidate" and
"1967: A Psych Odyssey").
A
recurring gag featured in the show's outtakes involves the cast and crew
laughing hysterically at the mention of the phrase "three-hole
punch." According to James Roday, the gag began with a script written by Tim Meltreger, which
included a joke about a three-hole punch. During filming, Roday misspoke the
line as "three-hole puncher." Meltreger called for a cut and raced
onto the set, then insisted that Roday read the line exactly as scripted, because,
in his words, "Three-hole punch is *way* funnier than three-hole
puncher!" Subsequently, it became a running joke on the set: someone says
the words "three-hole punch" while shooting and the cast and crew all
pretend to laugh as if it's the funniest thing they've ever heard.
Spencer's
mother, played by Cybill Shepherd, is called Madeleine, as a nod for her
character in show Moonlighting (1985), Madeleine (Maddie) Hayes.
A
running gag in the show is that Gus and Shawn will frequently say "C'mon
son!" when something strange, surprising, or silly has happened. This
phrase was coined by media personality Ed Lover. In the season eight episode
"Remake, a.k.a. Cloudy...With a Chance of Improvement", Ed Lover
guest starred as a bailiff, telling Gus to "Come on, son" as he
attempts to escort him from the courtroom. He also appeared in the season six
episode "Last Night Gus" as himself.
In
season six, episode four (The Amazing Psych Man & Tap Man, Issue #2),
Juliet acts impressed thinking that Shawn is The Mantis. She immediately learns
that Shawn is faking it and Shawn responds with the phrase "I know you
know that I'm not telling the truth...... I know, you know," which are the
exact lyrics of the Psych theme song.
