PSYCH Recap
Season 2 – Episode 7: “If You’re So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead?”
Recap by: Mel
It’s 1987 once again, and Henry and Mini-Shawn are outside drinking lemonade and playing chess. Henry berates Mini-Shawn for not remembering the actual names of the chess pieces. I personally prefer “Dwight”, “B.A. Baracus” or “Pointy Sad-Faced Guy” to that bishop and knight crap. Henry tries to convince Mini-Shawn that chess is important, and an allegory for life (“an alla-what?”), and as Shawn hems and haws, Henry exasperatedly asks him what’s wrong. Nothing really, as Mini-Shawn was just trying to remember that when you kick someone’s ass in chess, you say ‘checkmate’. “Bye, Dad!” Heee.
Present day, and our fave detectives are having lunch with a very pretty client who thinks her boyfriend is cheating on her. He isn’t (I guess), but he’s totally married. Ouch. As they’re walking back to the office, Gus informs Shawn that he’s basically too good for these “Is He/She Cheating On Me?” cases, but wait, Shawn fully has a wicked awesome case lined up. A Mr. Shockley and a Mr. Goddard apparently have a very big case for them. Shawn doesn’t have the slightest clue what it entails, though he’s knows it’s serious, as they used ALL CAPS IN THE EMAIL. BECAUSE WHEN YOU USE CAPS IT’S LIKE YOU’RE SHOUTING ONLINE AND SHOUTING IS REAL BUSINESSLIKE. Either that, or you’re too lazy to move your pinky finger the eigth of an inch from the “A” button the “It should be made into a punishable offense to exploit this button” button [/rant]. They’re already late for the meeting, as Shawn insisted on chocolate fondue. They arrive at the offices expecting, like, Bea Arthur or something, but are instead greeted by the two cutest kids I’ve ever seen. Shock, the redhead, is totally the spitting image of my 8th grade boyfriend. SO CUTE. (more…)
Now it’s official: An NBC spokesperson has confirmed for me exclusively (and, by proxy, you guys) that Rosie O’Donnell will not be playing the crankypants soccer coach…
We’re all breathing sighs of relief right? I think that the integrity and the anonymity of the show would have been ruined by having such a familiar face on the show. One of the highlights for me is seeing actors of relative unknown status playing the residents of Dillon. It lends itself nicely to the docudrama style they’ve created. Obviously, I take that statement back when it comes to power couple Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton.
While over at Ausiello, leave your thoughts on who you think would fill that role left vacant by Rosie.
REAPER on The CW is a very buzz worthy show. Who doesn’t like being told that your parents sold your soul to the devil and you’re just now finding out when the Devil comes to claim his prize on your 21st birthday?
While I have some issues with the Pilot episode, the potential is there and hopefully Reaper will find its footing and become a quirky action-comedy and a huge success for The CW. Catch my REAPER Fall Preview.
On any given day, all of us TV bloggers have the some exclusive content, some original and entertaining content, and sometimes the exact same content with a new spin on it. That’s the joy of being in our little TV Bloggers Circle.
To spread some love of other blogs, I thought I’d give you guys some other posts to read.

The sometimes-genius David LaChapelle has been a busy boy. He’s made a Season 4 DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES video that is out of this world visually. It’s so good in fact that it makes me want to start watching again. The addition of the gays is also a big help.
If you’ll recall, this is not the first time that David LaChapelle has lent his talents to a TV Show Teaser. He made this unbelievable and orgasmic worthy video for LOST.
Thanks to AfterElton for posting the Housewives video and reminding me how much I loved the LOST promo.

Yes, Yes, Yes! TIM MINEAR has finalized a deal with ABC for his new pilot MIRACLE MAN which follows a disgraced televangelist who believes God is actually using him to create miracles.
I’ve loved and followed Minear from Vamps (Angel) to Reavers (Firefly) to Smoosh Faced Lions (Wonderfalls) and finally to the dead too soon DRIVE. He’s just got a phenomenal track record and if Tim Minear is involved, I’m there!
MIRACLE MAN’s pilot will be penned by Tim Minear and Directed by Co-Exec. Producer Todd Holland (Wonderfalls, Felicity).
ABC is loving the Wonderfalls crew! Bryan Fuller obviously has PUSHING DAISIES and now Tim Minear and Todd Holland are in the alphabet network.
It’s Tuesday and that means a whole buttload of TV DVD’s are hitting the shelves. HEROES is one of them but that shows gangbusters so while you should buy it, I urge you to purchase another box set first.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Season 1 DVD set is being sold dirt cheap almost everywhere. When I say dirt cheap, I mean buy 3 for your family and friends because the entire 22 episode first season is being sold for $19.99!
I think this is a great strategy because for the price of a single DVD film, you can get 22 hours of pure perfection and this may entice more people to watch the show for the very first time. Fingers crossed! And like I said, its at a price where you won’t feel crazy buying one for a friend and forcing them to watch it, because it’s that cheap!
There’s also a Money Back Guarantee, so how can you go wrong. Take a chance on the Dillon Panthers America!
BIG BROTHER 8 is almost a double dose tonight because we’ve got Dani and Amber on The Power of 10 and then immediately following is the POV on BB8.
Jen was one of the funniest and most delusional characters this season and I was so mixed when she left the house. Who else would freely wear that unitard? Who else would flip her lid and break the BB rules? Who else would cry at their Memory Wall photo or personal photos because she thinks she looks hideous? Aside from Amber and Dick, Jen provided the best television in that house so I was excited to read TVGuide’s interview with Jen.
TVGuide.com: What’s the story behind those “Jenius,” “Jensa,” etc. T-shirts? Jen: My friend always calls me a Jenius. Before coming into the house, I bought 50 packs of letters, and I made a million shirts. But Jenius was my favorite, because it’s the most funny, no matter what. It would be funny even if your name wasn’t Jen, because you’re spelling “genius” wrong. It marks me perfectly.
TVGuide.com: You were the first person on slop ever to break their food restriction. You said you did it because you were mad at Big Brother. Why? Jen: I was previously told it was OK to destroy Dick’s cigarettes, and then when I did it, I was told that they were going to replace them. I was really upset that I had gone through all that hassle, that I was going to deal with Dick being upset with me, and that I got nothing out of it. So I was like, “I’m just going to eat!” It was the only thing I could think of. But the sad thing is, I really did like being on slop. I actually gained weight on slop. It’s kind of like lumpy, chunky oatmeal.
TVGuide.com: So in the end, did you have fun being on the show? Jen: The parts that were Big Brother-involved, like the competitions, were definitely really fun. But I didn’t enjoy everyone’s deceitfulness.
TVGuide.com: What do you think about going into sequester? Jen: At first I wasn’t too happy with it. But at least I get books, and I’m going to try to learn Spanish on my iPod. It’ll adjust me so that I’m not, like, completely in the world all of a sudden. It’s my halfway house for the world.
Hey gang, I know this is short notice but I didn’t get the chance to post about it yesterday. I’ll be doing a bloggers interview today with TATE DONOVAN from FX’s amazing thriller DAMAGES.
If you have any questions about his character Tommy and his recent return as Patty Hewes’ #2, leave them in the comments section. Want to know about life after Jimmy Cooper (The OC), let me know. I’m saving all of my questions for SPACE CAMP!
Please get questions in by Noon if possible. Sorry again for the short notice.
