Just a friendly reminder that Psych (and Monk), returns tonight on the USA network.

I am really looking forward to it. I loved the first season and I am looking forward to see where they go with it.

Pretty good episode that was made so much more awesome by Tim Curry as the judge.

I never heard of the show until I got a small actor role on it this year. Now, of course, I think it is a really fun, smart show!

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

Good season opener. Tim Curry was in top form. His "Murderer Critique" at the end was hilarious.

This is a great summer show.

Scott, which episode are you in?

I liked the season opener. Looks like they havn't missed a beat.

I noticed that they have the exact same cast. I was sort of hoping for a new member, or something to change a little. I am worried the show might start to get stale. So far it hasn't for me, but I can see how it could if they don't make a few changes of some sort.

No comments on this week's episode?

I did find the change in the Sean's Dad's personality a bit strange. I don't know if they are just tweeking it a bit, or if they are making his change a story arch.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

I thought it was a pretty good episode. I was a little surprised that he didn't mention how his helping Lassiter is probably what set off the streak in the first place, and I'm a little surprised as well that Jules wasn't more supportive, although I guess it'd be good for her career too if her partner was doing well.

I'm not really sure its that big a change in the father. All the first season, we were made to think he had been overly controlling in his parenting, but honestly what we saw didn't quite match up with that usually, so its not too inconsistent really.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

This weeks episode was a pretty good one. I liked Sean having to battle against a "real" psychic.

I also have been noticing that Juliet has been less supportive of Sean and Gus. I wonder if it is just me, or if the writers are tinkering with the characters a little?

Yeah, the only problem with this week's episode was that it was obvious from the get-go that she was involved somehow, in my opinion. It was still humorous though, so thats really all that matters.

Funny episode. Yeah, we all knew she was involved, but it was still fun to see Shawn put it together.

O'Hara has never been squarely in Sean and Gus's corner. She's also not 100% in Lassie's corner; she's more like the bemused observer, albeit with her own fair share of character quirks.

That said, they aren't pushing the romantic angle between her and Sean (Shawn?) this season. I don't mind that, even though the actors have great chemistry.

I think Sean and Gus have been playing off each other better this season; last season was almost exclusively Sean undermining Gus at every turn.

They really didn't do much with the wet bar angle.

Not a great show, but it has turned into a consistently solid and entertaining one.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

I guess this show has lost some of it's viewers.

Last season we had much more activity in the season thread.

This last episode was ok, but I think it is starting to get stale. They need to change up the formula a little. Even something small like letting the Detective agency get some other clients. That might make it more possible to get Sean and Gus to get into some different things.

I think discussion for summer series is down across the board here for whatever reason. I'm still watching, but as things have fallen into a groove, I fine I don't have as much to add.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

Yes, this last episode was pretty good. The 2 guys hanging out at the playground was very funny.

Next week is the last episode of the summer season. I think they will be back next year. I hope they try and change things up a bit. I am afraid they are getting a bit redundant.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

I really liked the "Rob-a-Bye Baby" episode.
Playground scene was funny.

But I also like Shawn's comment about Denise Richards(Christmas Jones) unbelievable character

NEXT EPISODE is

Bounty Hunters!
First aired: 9/14/2007

Juliet asks Shawn and Gus for help in capturing an accused murder who escaped from her. They track the man down, but soon discover he is innocent and they try to find the real killer -- but things are complicated by a bounty hunter.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

The summer season finale, "Bounty Hunter" was pretty good. I think it was my favorite of the season.

I wonder how long they are going to tease us with the Sean/Juliet romance?

When she allowed Sean to stay that close to kissing her, it surprised me. I thought she was not interested in Sean romantically. But clearly she is.

The show is coming back in January. Guess we will find out then.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

Yeah, I also really enjoyed the Bounty Hunter episode.
Real fun with Shawn and Gus at odds with Sorbo
Handful of movie references.
Enjoyed the comment Shawn said to Gus about spoiling the end of Wargames for him.

I really wanted Gus to kiss Juliet.
But liked it how it was just kept and "close talking"
a nice moment.

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

What they did was eliminate a bunch of grossly exaggerated psychic body movements and replaced them with a wonderful script. I didn't check the credits but I swear the escapee was W. Earl Brown although there's no credit on his IMDB listing.

Said they won't be back until January.
But if they're going to squeeze in a holiday episode, thats even greater news!

You mean Shawn, right? Jules and Gus don't really have any sexual tension. It just oozes from Shawn and Jules.

I agree that it was a nice moment though. It advanced that relationship without betraying the characters or cashing in on a cheap Big Moment. It put the possibility back in everybody's minds, though. Both Shawn and O'Hara looked pretty pleased with themselves.

Though not mention in the article above, I read that Psych will be back in December for a Christmas episode.

here is a quote from James Roday(Shawn Spencer)

Quote:
James Roday- "Let's see...we're about to meet Dule's parents on the episode that will air as our Christmas special. We'll run the season, have a little break, and Monk and us both get Christmas episodes in November or December. We didn't get one last year, so we're playing with the big boys now."

This airs Dec 7th!!!

Here is the title and description of the episode
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Gus's Dad May Have Killed An Old Guy!

Christmas with the Gusters is ruined when Gus's parents' neighbor is killed, a clue leads Lassiter to look at Mr Guster more closely. Evidence leads the police into arresting Gus's mother as well, and Shawn and Gus vow to get them out of jail.


I wonder if we will get a scene of Shawn as a kid using his "psychic powers" trying to guess what his Christmas presents are
and then present day Shawn doing the same thing

and here's who plays
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Gus' parents- Phylicia Rashad and Ernie Hudson


watch a clip from the episode from the USA Network site right now! FUNNY STUFF!
Psych Christmas episode clip

AND!!! another Christmas treat from Psych cast...

ALL-NEW HOLIDAY PSYCH-OUTS

Shawn, Gus, Juliet, Lassiter and Chief Vick are offering you an early Christmas gift... two all-new Psych-Outs! Get in the holiday spirit with their inimitable renditions of Deck the Halls and Jingle Bells!

Re: PSYCH Season 2 ongoing discussion

Anyone watch the Christmas epsiode last night?

Gus's Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy

It had it's Christmas theme here and there.
The actual killing case wasn't even Christmas theme.
It was more like bookends Christmas.

Steve Franks, the creator and writer of the theme song, redid the theme song to give it a more Christmas feel with Christmas fonts.
It was pretty cool.

I liked at the end how Shawn fooled his dad on guessing his Christmas present.

It was also pretty cool seeing Ernie Hudson and Phylicia Rashad playing Gus's parents

They also reminded us that Psych Season 3 starts January 11th
So it looks like they got episodes in the can before the strike.
I'm wondering if they got by a whole season.

I think it's a Canadian production and their Writers Guild settled it's contract during the Summer, IIRC. Stargate Atlantis may be another one that can continue. Cross border jurisdiction of writers, actors and directors guilds may be tricky, however.

But I thought Canadian Produced stuff shut down about a month ago.
That's why bionic Woman and other Canadian produced shows are on hiatus
