Another midseason, another fun premiere from USA Network and its laid-back crime dramedy Psych. This time around, on “Six Feet Under the Sea,” the episode’s unique slant is Shawn and Gus’ investigation of the murder of a seal. Yep, you read that right — a seal, like the kind you find in the sea.
This is no ordinary seal, however. It’s famous Shabby the Sea Lion, and when Gus takes Shawn along to the mammal’s funeral, the fake psychic senses something is very, well, fishy.

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, there’s only one better way than Black Friday to kick off the holiday season properly: with the now traditional year-end return of USA Network’s Monk and Psych for their respective crowd-pleasing midseason holiday specials.
First up is Team Tony Shalhoub at 9pm EST, who bring us “Mr. Monk and the Miracle.” Neither Adrian Monk nor Captain Stottlemeyer believes in miracles, until a little intervention from fate.
In the case of the OCD detective, he decides to take on an inspiring mystery involving the murder of several homeless men’s friend, courtesy of Natalie’s intervention. …read more

Calling all wrassling fans!
Tomorrow night’s installment of Psych is a female-friendly, sports-driven episode called “Talk Derby to Me.” The main plot revolves around a perplexing series of robberies that cause Maggie Lawson’s Detective Juliet O’Hara to go undercover by joining a roller derby team. Check her out looking lean and mean in the top photo.
Although the lovely athletic ladies at the center of the action don roller skates — and lots of knee and elbow pads, I’m sure — to battle each other in the ring, the top-billed guest star actually hails from the world of professional wrestling. …read more

For two seasons now, viewers have been enjoying the best-buds schtick between Psych stars James Roday and Dulé Hill, tempered with insight into why Roday’s Shawn Spencer acts the way he does, courtesy of those very special moments (much sarcasm intended) between the crime-solving fake psychic and his stern ex-cop father Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen). Since most things get old at one point, however, especially on television, it’s time to give the show’s fans more. Thankfully, judging by the entertaining July 18 third-season premiere “The Ghost in You,” Psych intends to do just that.
More what, you ask? …read more

The third-season premiere of Psych is called “The Ghost in You,” and it’s less than two days away.
One of the biggest, most talked about developments coming up is the addition of TV icon Cybill Shepherd to the cast as a guest star. She’ll first show up on this Friday’s 10pm EST episode to play the previously unseen but oft-discussed mother of fake psychic Shawn. A successful criminal psychologist, she arrives in town to assist the Santa Barbara Police Department with a case.
I’ve seen the premiere already, and let me tell you, it’s so much fun watching Shepherd interact …read more

The June 19th episode of NBC’s new horror-suspense anthology Fear Itself was the best one thus far, largely thanks to the fantastic work of Eureka star Colin Ferguson. He was spot-on and so chilling when needed.
Next week, two more actors from a well-known dramedy will tackle the series when real-life couple James Roday and Maggie Lawson, Shawn Spencer and Juliet O’Hara on USA Network’s Psych, headline the suggestively titled episode “In Sickness and In Health.”
The installment is directed and written by a pair of the horror genre’s more well-known talents, John Landis (An American Werewolf in London) and Victor …read more

Yesss!!! Am I a very happy blogger right now!
Not only is one of my favorite TV series from last year, USA Network’s fantabulous action spy dramedy Burn Notice, returning to the tube in July, but TV Guide reports today that it will gain a new cast member for a multi-episode arc, namely Battlestar Galactica’s delicious Tricia Helfer.
Talk about a match made in TV heaven — sizzling Cylon Number Six and cool-as-a-cucumber ace spook Michael Westen, played by Jeffrey Donovan.
According to TV Guide, Helfer will portray Michael’s handler Carla, a woman who doesn’t hesitate to kill and who frequently seems …read more

Tonight’s installment of Psych is the absolute last episode of the second season. That means if you’re a fan of Shawn and Gus et al., this one probably counts as must-see, appointment TV. Maybe that’s why they did up the title all witty like to mimic that of the British cult zombie flick Shaun of the Dead (rent it if you haven’t already seen it — the movie is a blast).
Anyhoo, Shawn and Gus get a taste of culture in the episode when the Natural History Museum seeks their help to explain an extremely weird incident: a mummy …read more

Ever sneaky, young Shawn tries to get out of wearing a sweater vest his mom chose for him to take his school picture in by changing into a Knight Rider t-shirt instead. His dad catches him when he comes downstairs, however, and orders him to put the vest back on because pictures last forever and his father wants him to look his best.
