Krysten Ritter and James Van Der Beek
Forget about the bad girl. Embrace the Beek. As in James Van Der Beek, the long-ago Dawson's Creek heartthrob who spoofs his own quasi-celebrity status with such ruthless zeal he elevates ABC's latest odd-couple comedy into a surreal stratosphere of anything-goes outrageousness.
"The Beek" (playing himself more or less, but ...

Timothy Omundson
Let's say it together: We love Lassie!
Last night, Psych served up a certifiable gem that was two great tastes in one: A fantastically funny spoof of The Shining and a showcase for the always wonderful Timothy Omundson, whose Lassiter found himself going all sorts of Jack Nicholson after buying a seemingly haunted ...

Psych
USA has renewed Psych for a seventh season.
The cable network gave the good news to fans (aka Psych-Os) first on Tuesday, via the show's Facebook page and Twitter account. Users were given multiple pieces of a pineapple-shaped puzzle that revealed a special message. The fourth and final piece of the puzzle contained a...

William Shatner
For his role as Shawn Spencer on Psych, James Roday has had to do a lot of crazy things over the years (see: dressing up like a vampire, engaging in a kung-fu battle). But the craziest may have been asking guest star William Shatner to appear in a Psych video for Comic-Con earlier this year.
"I was so nervous asking him to do that. It all ended up in my lap and everybody was just sort of crossing their fingers, like 'Roday, go see if you can get him to do this,'" the actors tells TVGuide.com. "And he was just so accommodating and so lovely. I think he could tell I was nervous about asking him and he totally put me at ease. He was like...

James Roday
Psych's Shawn (James Roday) has always been a little on the quirky side, but it looks like he many have finally gotten himself committed.
In Wednesday's episode, titled "Shawn, Interrupted" — an homage to the 1999 girls-gone-actually-crazy film Girl, Interrupted — Shawn must admit himself to a mental institution to keep an eye on a recently convicted murderer who pleaded insanity but they suspect to be completely, well, sane. But before he and Gus catch the bad guy, Shawn's got to...

James Roday, Dule Hill
Leave it to Shawn and Gus to find the sharpest way possible to stick it to the vampire craze.
Last night, the perfect storm of crime fighting and pop-culture comedy that is Psych served up a bloodsucker-centric scream that flowed with bloody goodness like a severed vein. Perfectly (and misleadingly) titled "This Episode Sucks," the hour first won us over with the guest spot by Kristy Swanson, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, here ...

James Roday, Dule Hill
If you can spot the vampire reference in the line "Let the right ones in, buddy" — from tonight's enjoyably spoofy episode of USA Network's Psych (10/9c) — then you're in for a real treat, as Halloween is played for laughs (more often than not on purpose) on a variety of tonight's shows.
The cleverest might be Psych's guest star-studded comic mystery (titled "This Episode Sucks"), in which a body drained of blood leads Shawn and Gus to deduce a vampire is on the loose. Could said fiend be the new mystery lady in Lassiter's life? She's played by original-movie Buffy Kristy Swanson, so anything's possible. Also making ...

James Roday
You don't have to remind Psych star James Roday that his USA series has a rabid fan base — especially after those fans were forced to wait an extra three months for the show to return.
"The Psych-O's are impatient, that's why we love them," Roday tells TVGuide.com. "They're foaming at the mouth. Sometimes it's for Psych episodes, sometimes it's for turkey."
But with great fans, comes great responsibility. So the show had to be very careful when, after five years of will-they-or-won't-they tension, Psych kicked off its sixth season with Shawn (Roday) and Juliet (Maggie Lawson) as a full-fledged couple. It's been a long time coming, but Roday is all too familiar with the TV graveyard filled with shows that died after their lead characters coupled up.
"You're always worried you're going to jump the shark with stuff like this because...
