USA Network's Psych Looks Promising

Posted on July 7, 2006

Tonight is the premiere of USA Network's promising new series, Psych, which is coupled with the premiere of the new season of Monk.

Psych has a clever premise: Shawn Spencer is super-observant (James Roday) and notices things other people don't, which makes him seem psychic. An exuberant personality, Shawn pretends to be psychic to make a living helping solve crimes. Shawn's abilities are due to his demanding father (Corbin Bernsen) who trained him in the art of observation -- much like a spy. His friend and partner (Dul� Hill) goes along with the gig, but it makes him nervous. It's a very silly show, but it's perfect for summer. It airs tonight on USA Network at 10pm Eastern, just after the Monk premiere which airs at 9pm Eastern.
