Psych Season Three Premieres Tonight

Those loveable fake psychics from the Psych Detective Agency return tonight, Friday July 18, at 10/9C with an all new season of quick-witted comedy high jinx mixed with a little freelance crime solving. James Roday’s Shawn Spencer and Dule Hill’s Burton “Gus” Guster might just be the best crime solving duo currently on TV, and the show fits right in with the USA Network’s catch phrase of “Character’s Welcomed.”


While many would say USA’s current run of amazing original programming started with the debut of Monk or The Dead Zone, I would respectively disagree. It’s the debut of Psych that really solidified the channel’s quirky off-centered comedy and crime/adventure line-up, bridging the gap between the two genres perfectly. If you haven’t been watching Psych on USA, you should definitely set your DVR to record it before heading out on the town tonight. With new episodes of Psych, Burn Notice and In Plain Sight airing all summer long on USA, the basic cable channel may just be solidifying itself as THE destination for original programming during the big four networks’ summer hiatus.

And, if you need a quick Psych fix before tonight’s episode (and the debut of Cybill Shepherd as Shawn's long absent mother), then I highly suggest checking out this Psych promo that’s been airing on the USA Network for the past few weeks. Roday and Hill are often seen singing and goofing around at the end of each episode of Psych in the show’s aptly named blooper real “Psych-Out.” In this television spot the duo sings the classic duet by Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney “Ebony and Ivory.” You can watch the “Ebony and Ivory” Psych TV ad below, and tune in tonight at 10/9C for the Season Three premiere of Psych.

Finally The Dark Knight Debuts

It’s the weekend we’ve all been waiting for, the world premiere of The Dark Knight! Well actually the movie premiered nine hours ago at 12:01 am, but you get the point. I really don’t know what I’m going to blog about now that the movie’s opening weekend is finally here.


It feels like Batman and the Joker are everywhere right now. Every news outlet and website in the world seems to be talking about The Dark Knight and I still haven’t seen a bad review. USAToday gave the movie 4 out of 4 stars yesterday and it has a freshness rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes with a general consensus that the movie is “dark, complex and unforgettable, The Dark Knight succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga.” (link) Finally DC Comics and Warner Bros. does something right! I am getting goose bumps just thinking about seeing it.

Now, I don’t know how many readers of The Blot Says… braved the elements to camp out and see the 12:01 am, 3:00 am or 6:00 am viewings, but please no spoilers because I won’t get to see the film until 10:15 pm tonight at our local IMAX theater. I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts and impressions of it though, so definitely leave your reviews of the film in this post’s comment section. I hope everyone is able to get out and see The Dark Knight this weekend, I’m predicting one of the biggest, if not the biggest, opening weekend in movie history.
