I said no more blogs until August. Psych.

Today's blog is about Psych, initially brought into the TVCU via a bunch of USA commercials, it finally earned some more substantial crossover credentials.

I'm not a big fan of this show.  I tried it out, but it just wasn't that entertaining to me.  But, my like or dislike of a show or movie has nothing to do with what makes a valid inclusion.

So here we go...

1993--PSYCH:  FLASHBACK TO THE TEEN YEARS--Shawn often flashes back to his childhood, but this is a short series of flashbacks to his teen years.

July 2006 to present--PSYCH--Shawn is a detective.  Gus is his partner.  Shawn gets hired to solve crimes by pretending to be a psychic.

July 2006--PSYCH WEBISODES--Extra short tales of Shawn and Gus.

August 2006--USA PROMO--Shawn meets Adrian Monk.  Yes, I do include commercials if I can't find anything in it that would contradict the mythology of the actual shows.  In this one, they are in a realistic situation where both characters are true to their normal personas.



January 2009--A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO READ--The first of five Psych novels written by William Rabkin.

July 2009--MIND OVER MAGIC--The second Psych novel.

November 2009--USA PROMO--Gus meets Neal Caffrey and Peter Burke.



January 2010--THE CALL OF THE MILD--A Psych novel.

August 2010--A FATAL FRAME OF MIND--A Psych novel.

December 2010--PSYCH--"Dual Spires"--Since I know little about either shows in this crossover, I will turn it over to two of my expert cohorts.  Click here to read what both Toby O'Brien and Sean Lee Levin have to say about the Psych/Twin Peaks crossover.

February 2011--MIND-ALTERING MURDER--The final (so far) Psych Novel.  All the novels were written by William Radkin.

So that's it.

So now I am starting my hiatus.  While my son is visiting for the month of July, I won't be blogging.  The rest of the appointed TVCU Crew may add or edit blogs during my absence.

This month wraps up a half a year of the TVCU blog (after decades of false starts that evolved into this blog).  In addition to writing new blogs when I get back, I will also start updating the blogs I wrote in the first six months.  I know I said I was going to wait until my blog had been going for a year, but that Superman blog is just bugging the Hell out of me.  Have a good July, everyone.

(I will still be checking in on Facebook, so feel free to keep the discussions going and I will join in there.)

  1. Wow...good video and thanks for this much good stuff. I like both the series. But I found Monk TV Show is more interesting than Psych.
