    Few Shows Are as Quoteable or as Fun!

    If you haven't watched Psych, start with this episode. This shown is a weird combo of ADD and bipolarism (in the form of Shawn) and some of the best straight men (Gus and the Chief) around. You will finish with a smile, laugh lines and elevated serotonin levels.

    And you will never misspell banana or Michum again.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Series star James Roday Rodriguez (Shawn Spencer) was determined to have a pineapple make an appearance in every episode, regardless of whether it made sense or not.
    • Goofs
      While Gus is looking through the pamphlet, he notes the words that won in 1985 and 1943. However, there was no spelling bee between 1943 and 1945 during WWII.
    • Quotes

      Gus: Shawn, this misplaced malevolence you have for the spelling bee is getting monotonous. Stop hating on the Bee. I'm sorry, ma'am; I do apologize for his inappropriate virulence.

      Shawn Spencer: Why are you using all these big ass words all the sudden?

      Gus: I'm not doing that. That's preposterous.
