Psych

Despereaux is an all time recurring villain

It may not be the best show ever, but it’s one of my absolute favorites.

Rewatch once a year.

Just now watching this show on Peacock. How the hell did I miss this all these years?

Up to season 6 now. One of the best buddy TV shows . . . like ever. And the special guest stars . . .

Bump for Psych thread. I finished a rewatch a couple months ago. It should be in everyones library.

It's on Prime as well.

The shoutouts to Cary Elwes and Jimmi Simpson are well deserved. It's funny because both seemed to be in more shows than they actually were. That's how good they were.

I just read that another movie is in the works.

I haven’t finished this watch yet, or watched the other movies, but . . . Fantastic.

Season 8 was a letdown. Everyone seemed tired. Up til then, gold. Especially Jules dancing to “Shout” LINK

Didn’t realize the dude who played Lassie (Timothy Omunson) had a stroke. It was great that they helped him be In the movies just to keep his SAG membership (and a paycheck), thus his insurance.

It soon became clear that Omundson would not only survive, but he might even be able to participate in the movie in some way. But he definitely couldn't do what the original script was calling for, so the entire thing had to be rewritten. Lassiter ended up appearing in a cameo via a video chat with Juliet.

"Steve and [James Roday Rodriguez] holed up in Vancouver…I think they rewrote the entire thing in 70 hours," Omundson tells us. "The way they wrote that cameo in the first movie, which was really their tremendous effort to make sure that I could get in the movie and get a paycheck…it was actually shot in my guest house, in my backyard here. I wouldn't have even been able to go to a set in town, I was so restricted, physically."

Franks confirms that the crew worked hard just to make sure Omundson had a paycheck and health insurance.

"Because of all of us are pragmatists, we were thinking, we just wanted Tim to have his insurance from SAG for doing the movie, so it was like, how do we do it with Tim?" he says. "We knew within our shooting schedule, we weren't going to be able to do it, so I'm like, what if we, six months from now, can reconvene at the very last possible moment before the movie airs, and however far along on his recovery, we'll shoot a scene with Tim, whether it's on the phone…we were even like, if it's just his voice, that's fine. It didn't matter. We just wanted him to get his check for the movie, and that's been sort of the mantra of Psych anyway. We were just all keeping everybody afloat."

They eventually shot the scene at Omundson's house, and found their star eager to do as much as he could.

"As soon as we finished it, Tim was like, what more can we do? What more can we do? And I said, well, we can do another one of these movies, and it's going to be about you. And that was the goal," Franks says.

Class act right there. I love this show even more now.
