I’ve been watching a lot of TV today (shocking, eh?), and I just finished Psych on the USA Network. I just love that show — can’t stress that point enough! In fact, I’ve been getting a little kick recently out of having some fresh pineapple in the house (which, as Shawn maintains, is the king of fruits). Anyhow, tonight’s episode was great. It involved a telenovella (Spanish-language soap opera) in which Shawn acted for a few days while working on the case. At the beginning of the show, the theme song was in Spanish — classic! And at the end, Lassiter ended up on-screen, handcuffing the culprit, so he pulled out his junior-high Spanish:
Hola. … Me llamo Inspector Carlton Lassiter. … Me gusta queso.
That last line just cracked me up! You never know what you’re going to end up with when you have to rely on decades-old language training — which probably wasn’t very good in the first place.

So I have officially seen one episode of Psych. (It conflicts with everything, timewise.)
I really only watched it because an actress I liked had a guest appearance, but it was highly amusing. At some future date, I’ll probably look into trying to find the whole thing on DVD. (Is this the first season? Or has it been on longer? I thought it was fairly new, but I could be wrong.)

This is the second season of Psych. The first is, indeed, on DVD, and I know that Netflix has it, if you’ve got an account with them.
And I totally understand about the time conflict — Monk is on right before, so that’s a whole two-hour block on Friday nights, when so much else is going on.
