Bunny fist bump
Sep. 17th, 2007 07:46 pmPsych has been renewed for a third season. Woo hoo!
It's a fluffy, funny little show, a cast with great chemistry, with little to no pretensions of being anything else other than what it is, and I'm glad to see it hanging around. I adore everyone on it, especially Maggie Lawson. Rowr.
The only downside is that NBC owns USA, so they'll be taking it off iTunes at the end of the year. Good job, NBC — I was actually willing to pay to watch this show. Guess I don't have to, now.

Psych theme song
Jul. 24th, 2006 05:11 pmThe theme song for Psych: "I Know, You Know", is written by Steven Franks, the creator of the series, and performed by his band, The Friendly Indians. It's pretty catchy, but not available for download yet (unless you cound any audio captures of the version sung during end credits). For those who are trying to figure out the lyrics, here they are, as near as I can make sense of them.
( Your worst inhibitions tend to psych you out in the end. )

I know, you know
Jul. 24th, 2006 10:40 amI've discovered Psych.
Basic premise: Shawn Spencer was trained by his policeman father to have amazing powers of observation to go with his eidetic memory, but spends his adult slacker life drifting from job to job, occasionally calling in tips to the police, solving crimes from television news reports. At least, until one such tip lands him in trouble as the prime suspect, and when the hard-nosed cops don't believe he's an observational savant, he cooks up a story... that he's psychic. So Shawn and his straight-laced best friend Gus set up a psychic detective agency and help the police out on crimes, all the while trying to conceal the fact that Shawn isn't really psychic. Wackiness and crime-solving ensue.
Some critics have dubbed "Son of Monk", and yeah, it kind of is: substitute Monk's OCD for Shawn's ADD, and add the wackiness of "psychic episodes". The two shows are also being shown back-to-back on the USA Network. The pilot wasn't too promising, but the first couple of episodes start to grow on you, and while James Roday as Shawn Spencer channels Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey a bit too much, there's the potential for character development as the series goes on.
What I want to know is, of course, when the first Monk/Psych crossover fanfics will happen (the two have already interacted in promos). They're probably out there already.
