    A watchable episode...that isn't great.

    I actually now skip past the scenes of this episode that DON'T have Shawn or Gus in it. Don't even know why they wasted time with the Lassiter bit...or the Cybil Sheperd bit. Give me more Shawn, Gus, ghosts and Shooter Mcgavin.

    And I know they are trying to make the relationship of Shawn and his mom relevant etc...but I really hate her calling him Goose. Seems way too forced and not natural.

    This is season 3...so season 1 and 2 are behind them...and this season they really start hitting their stride. My first #10 rating is the next episode...Murder, Anyone, Anyone, Bueller. And some 9's and 8's the rest of the way through.

    Season 1 and 2 laid down a great foundation...and in season 3, Psych really hits it's potential.

    Moonlighting references in Season 3 Premiere "Ghosts"

    This episodes, which stars Cybil Sheppard, begins with Gus getting in trouble for "Moonlighting" and Shawn's mom's name is "Maddie" like Cybil's character in "Moonlighting." Although I appreciate the references, it would have been even better if Bruce Willis guest starred as Maddie Spencer's new husband or boyfriend "David" Are there any other references to "Moonlighting" in this episode that I didn't pick up on? One of the things I love about this show is that whenever I watch an episode again, there is always a subtle reference or joke that I did not pick up on the first time around. I still can't believe Val Kilmer hasn't guest starred on this show Maybe next season

    • Trivia
      Spot the pineapple: When Henry and Madeline are in the kitchen at the beginning of the episode, right after Shawn comes downstairs, there is a pineapple on the table as Henry is opening a bottle of wine.
    • Goofs
      When Haversham alludes to Shawn being behind the haunting, he says that he heard the voice on the phone say, "Gus," right before the call ends. In the scene where Gus walks in on Shawn whispering into the phone in the attic, Shawn clearly stops whispering and hangs up the phone without saying anything.
    • Quotes

      Karen Vick: It has come to my attention, Detective, that you've discharged your weapons in the last four cases you've worked.

      Carlton Lassiter: Thank you.

      Karen Vick: That wasn't a compliment.

      Carlton Lassiter: I'm just trying to keep the streets safe, Chief.

      Karen Vick: The last incident was at a cat show.

      Carlton Lassiter: Well, let me just go on record as saying that I would never shoot a cat.

      Karen Vick: I guess I could find some solace in that.

      Carlton Lassiter: Unless it was approaching in a threatening manner... or refused to stop upon my command. I would probably just fire a warning shot to make my point, but that's really a field decision. I can't commit to it at this juncture.
