Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the fake psychic detective the show focuses on?

Answer: Shawn Spencer

Played by James Roday, the brilliant yet immature detective has taken on the challenge of pretending to be psychic with absolutely no psychic powers whatsoever! He is able to fool the police department into thinking he is psychic because of his amazing powers of observation his father taught him.

2. Where does "Psych" take place at?

Answer: Santa Barbara, CA

The frequent references to the Santa Barbara police department attest to this fact.

3. What is the name of the main character's best friend and partner?

Answer: Burton Guster

Though he often goes by the name of Gus, his real name is in fact Burton Guster.

4. What is the first name of the main character's father?

Answer: Henry

Played by actor Corbin Bernsen of "L.A. Law" and "Major League" fame, he is responsible for instilling Shawn with his keen powers of observation.

5. What is the name of the junior detective that actress Maggie Lawson portrays?

Answer: Juliet O' Hara

She is the member of the police department most willing to let Shawn and Gus in on cases.

6. Which of these is the name of the actor who plays young Shawn through most of season one?

Answer: Liam James

I admit, this one was a toughie, but it is easier if you know that Timothy Omundson plays Lassiter and Sage Brocklebank plays Buzz McNab. Two different actors play him in the first and second episode. Liam plays him until the end of season five.

7. The pilot episode of "Psych" had the highest rating of any pilot for a cable TV show when it aired in July of 2006.

Answer: True

"Psych's" other episodes have also had respectable ratings!

8. What is the name the main character gives his partner's car, despite his partner's protests?

Answer: the Psychmobile

This question was a little devious, it is from the USA Network website under videos. If you never watched the video then you'd know the Good Vibrations and Blue Shadow are names that Gus came up with that Shawn didn't like, and the Street Regal was the name of Gus' old Buick.

9. What is the name of the band that plays the "Psych" theme song?

Answer: The Friendly Indians

Steve Franks, the creator of the show, is also the leader of the band!

10. A small little skit, often involving singing and dancing by the characters in the show that is performed for the credits of an episode, is known by what title?

Answer: A Psych-out

The Psych-outs for season one were hilarious, go to the USA network website if you missed them the first time!
