Psych: The Complete Collection
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
First, let me say, if you have a dry sense of humor and haven’t seen this show, you NEED to! It is hilarious. Most episodes are not gruesome (I can’t handle ANY blood, dead people with eyes open, etc) but I am able to watch this. My husband and I have seen the episodes at least 3 or 4 times and still enjoy it.
We bought the complete set because it was just taken down off Netflix. When the box set came, I was a bit shocked at the quality. The case to hold everything together is a flimsy plastic, kind of like plastic file folders. The cover is okay, but all the disks are in cheap plastic disk holders and the entire set is held together by large packing tape. Not good quality. I could have gotten past the case issue, but the picture quality is horrendous as well. As we were watching, we kept waiting for the page to rebuff like we always did with Netflix and then realized: it’s a disk. It won’t get any better. At best it’s a little fuzzy, at worst the entire screen is pixilated. We watched three episodes to see if it was a random occurrence, but it’s not. We promptly asked for a return label to send it back, but the company said we could keep it. We are continuing to watch it since it was free, but I would not recommend this particular product.

It’s such a rarity that a TV series is accessible to everyone in the family. Psych is relatively clean, funny, and stays interesting throughout its entire run. I never felt uncomfortable having this show on while children were in the room, and they seemed to enjoy it as much as the parents and grandparents. Unlike many other popular TV series, this show stays consistent in its quality throughout the years. Its last season is just as funny and interesting as its first, if not more so.
One word of advice: there is a major tone shift from the pilot to the rest of the series, and so I’d recommend newcomers either skip the pilot (and come back to it later) or keep in mind that it’s a much weaker episode than what you’d normally get. I’ve had a few friends ignore this piece of advice, and tell me they weren’t interested in the show after watching the pilot. (It’s an easy fix, I’d simply show them the first episode of season 2 and they would become full blown Psych-os.)
For fans who are wondering about the DVD set itself, this set DOES include Psych: The Musical on one of the discs for Season 8. This set also includes a single bonus disc with the Psych After Pshow. It will be a nice bonus for the hardcore fan, but it’s not essential viewing. Every single DVD-based bonus feature will be included here, so it really is the complete collection.
And for those who would rather buy seasons individually, you’re getting the exact same disc content (minus the bonus disc that includes the Psych After Pshow) packaged differently. So if you’ve already started your collection, you can choose how you want to complete it. I hope this helps!

There’s no doubt that Psych is a great show that deserves a 5 star rating. BUT this complete series set is just terrible. The packaging is just bad and causes disc scratching.
I purchased this in fall 2015 and I have yet to have the free time to watch the entire series. It took me 45 days after after receiving the set to actually remove the shrink wrap because I originally was going to give this as a gift to someone, only to discover they already owned the indvidual season sets.
When I finally got around to watching it, i gave up at season 1 disc 3 due to the fact there was a scratch on the disc. I blame the plastic that faces the recorded side of the disc. it’s too scruffy.
UPDATE : 11/22/2017 – my friend has borrowed the set and finished it. She has stated that about 20 episodes skip and those discs have visibile scracthes caused by the case. None of the discs left their slots until she put them in her players (with an s. She’s watched on more than one device – bluray player, laptop, gaming console, etc)
There must be a reason why it’s now only available by 3rd party sellers. NBC-Universal must have gotten enough complaints about it. I will be purchasing the individual seasons December 2017 now that I will able to afford to. This show is too amazing to not own
