The seventh season of Psych pretty much follows the format of the prior seasons. Mostly, the show is a case-of-the-week procedural that does have story arcs (and jokes) that go throughout the course of the season (and there are callbacks to prior seasons). And, of course, there are the spoof/homage episodes that are a play on something from pop culture. This season, it is a spoof of the movie Clue, which also serves as the show's 100th episode. Shawn and Juliet's relationship takes a couple of turns this season, as does Lassiter's relationship with Marlowe.
For those who get the DVD set, the extras are pretty similar to the prior seasons. There are commentary tracks on select episodes, a gag reel, a ton of deleted scenes, montages and psychouts, and an extended version of the 100 Clues episode. Note that the musical episode(s) that aired after the 7th season ended is not included in this set. Some of the guest stars this season include Parminder Nagra (from ER), Anthony Michael Hall (from pretty much every 1980s teenage comedy), Garcelle Beauvais, Jake Busey, David Koechner, Christopher Lloyd, Lori Loughlin, Cybill Shepherd, and Lesley Ann Warren.
Overall, the show continues to be good, although probably not as good as it was in the first couple of seasons. The show definitely recycles jokes, and there are only so many times it can do that without getting old. But, the writers do manage to keep the show fresh with the spoof episodes which give fans something to look forward to each season. The acting is always great, and the cast members either have or fake great chemistry. I assume it is the former since they all keep coming back to do the TV movies even after the show ended. So, if you are a fan of the show, this season is definitely worth watching.
