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!

Yeah, James Roday Rodriguez ad libbed the “shall I slice this for the road?” in the pilot, and it became a thing the rest of the series. I started watching when it was first on the air and I have never NOT taken a pic of a pineapple when I’m in public and send it to my friends. I’ve been the reigning champ for 19 years LOL.
Also, while I absolutely love the first few seasons, my favorite episodes are mostly (not all lol) from 4-8. And the movies are awesome too!
ETA: welcome to the Psych-O’s! Lol 🍍
