New watcher!
Hey everyone!
I just started this show (instantly loved it) and wanted to dip into the fandom a bit—without spoiling myself. I’m about halfway through season 2, which feels like barely the beginning since there are 8 seasons. Idk, maybe this is one of those shows where everyone swears the first 3 seasons are peak? We’ll see.
Anyway, I just wanted to get a feel for the fandom. I’m in a bunch of other ones and they all have such different vibes—fandoms honestly have their own personalities.
Also… can someone explain the pineapple thing to me? From what I can tell, Shawn loves it, the show kinda rolled with it, and then the fandom took it and ran—so now it’s on literally every piece of Psych merch. Or is there a deeper meaning I’m missing? Either way, I think it’s hilarious.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome to the fandom! It’s honestly very chill and friendly here. A lot of quote offs of favorite episode discussions. As far as the pineapple thing, I think it was just like an improvised line James did in the pilot episode and they kept going with it as a running gag so there’s pineapples hidden throughout the episodes as an Easter egg
