[DISCUSSION] Psych

The best, funniest series we'd never heard of in Canada. It never aired here! And now Netflix is ending it. We're only on season: 3 of 8. The guest stars, the story lines, the hilarious dialogue, just awesome!

We heard of it and watched it in Canada, it aired on tv. You’re just a few years late bud. Glad you enjoyed it though

Can I ask where you watched it in 2006 onward? We are in the TV business and never heard of this show.

It is impossible for you to be in the tv business and never heard of the show. It was wildly popular for it's clever dialogue. Doesn't 8 seasons kind of prove my point? C'mon.

Beyond the first season, I can't find what channel aired it in Canada. I asked two TV producers in Canada and they, too, had never heard of it, even after watching the trailer. How did it fly under the radar? CTV aired season 1? Thanks, Wikipedia.

"If you're not familiar with Psych, you better live in Canada (where the show doesn't air), or you don't have any excuse! But just in case you haven't seen it but are still intrigued, the USA Network show stars James Roday as Shawn Spencer, a psychic consultant..."

Tbh it was so long ago and I was young at the time so I don’t really remember. It was on like two different channels I think one was called discovery and the other was a local ctv or cw channel maybe.

I think I even recorded a few episodes that aired onto dvd somewhere. Maybe if I find those I’ll update this response.

Psych is my comfort show. If it ever leaves streaming I would buy it on DVD or something in a heartbeat.

It seriousy never aired in Canada lol?

I love this show; and I find this fact especially ironic given that the show itself was filmed up in Vancouver.

Does it mean nothing to you that it aired on the USA network?

I'd suggest buying the complete series in home video. It has the whole series and the movies.

We want to but my daughter said she read that you have to be careful because the box sets are poor quality on Amazon. Will do some research!

From a post one year ago, dude:

"No where to stream Psych in Canada (where it was filmed)!

I was going to introduce my 13 year old to one of my favourite shows only to find out it’s not streaming anywhere here in Canada! Probably the worst day of my life."

Wild, eh?

We have Amazon phew, but the point is we let people know to watch it but they only have Netflix and a bunch of others not including Prime. The show finally made its way here after a decade and they're already removing it. Strange that such a great show wouldn't be on Netflix longer.
