Sorry, couldn't resist.
The coveted role of
James Roday's TV mom on
Psych has actually gone to
Chuck Lorre's BFF ex-
Moonlighting P.I.
Cybill Shepherd. Not nearly as exciting as Meryl Streep, but, c'mon, still a fun piece of casting.
Shepherd will appear in at least two episodes, beginning with the third-season premiere on July 18.
According to a USA insider, her character, Madeline, is a private practice psychologist who, after spending a few years abroad, returns to Santa Barbara to pay her ex-hubby (
Corbin Bernsen) and son a visit and ends up helping them with a case. She's described as being a free spirit and the source of Shawn's adventurous side.
Ma Spencer was actually introduced in the final moments of the Season 2 finale when she showed up unannounced on Shawn's doorstep; viewers, however, did not see her face.
Hey,
Psych fans - does the idea of a Roday-Shepherd-Bernsen confab give you good or bad vibes? Sound off below!
