Tomorrow: PSYCH: THE MOVIE on USA

If you shed a tear when Psych took its final bow on the USA Network back in 2014, take heart. It wasn't that final after all.  

Psych stars James Roday and Dulé Hill, along with familiar supporting players Corbin Bernsen (Henry), Maggie Lawson (Juliet), Kirsten Nelson (Chief Vick) and Timothy Omundson (Detective Lassiter) are all back on USA for a Psych movie. We will be clued in on what's happened to Sean, the goofy sleuth pretending to have psychic powers to solve crimes, and his more sensible best friend, Gus, three years after we left them. They're now in San Francisco instead of the familiar San Diego, but the wacky tone and general craziness we came to expect from the original series is firmly in place. Series creator Steve Franks and Roday wrote the script.

In this new chapter of their adventures, we can expect to see those two "ambitious friends -- along with some returning fan-favorite characters -- come together during the holidays after a mystery assailant targets one of their own. A comedic thrill-ride follows, as the wild and unpredictable Psych team pursues the bad guys, justice … and, of course, food!" They'll be joined by the police (Juliet, Lassiter and Vick) and parents (Henry, who used to be a cop) who've always surrounded them, along with guest stars like Zachary Levi, Ralph Macchio and Jimmi Simpson. There is no Cary Elwes, who played Pierre Despereaux, the best frenemy they had, which is a disappointment, but we're told maybe he may appear in future reunion pics. We can only hope.

Cue the pineapples: Psych: The Movie premieres on USA on Thursday, December 7 at 7 pm Central time.

PSYCH Goes Musical Tonight at 8

Sunday has been the hottest night on television for some time, what with Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Games of Thrones, The Good Wife, Homeland, Mad Men, Masters of Sex, Once Upon a Time, Revenge and The Walking Dead all taking up residence there at one time or another over the year. Plus, of course, The Simpsons.

Several of those have concluded for the season (or forever, like Breaking Bad) by now, but another bunch of shows will be finishing their seasons tonight. The group airing fall finales tonight includes Once Upon a Time (Will Pan be foiled before the purple smoke rises again?), Revenge (Who's going to shoot Emily on her wedding day?) and Betrayal on ABC, Homeland (Will Brody make it?) on Showtime, Masters of Sex (Will Masters & Johnson go public with what they know?) on HBO, American Dad and Bob's Burgers on Fox, and The Witches of East End on Lifetime.

But amidst all the finale-ing, USA Network brings back its amusing buddy detective show, Psych, for a two-hour musical episode. Yes, you heard that right. Shawn, played by James Roday, and Gus, played by Dulé Hill, who danced on Broadway as the Kid in Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk before he turned into a West Wing aide, will be singing and dancing all over Santa Barbara as they solve crime and drive the police department crazy. You can see a video preview here, a sneak peek of a number called "Under Santa Barbara Skies" and a whole bunch of other video here, including a holiday greeting.

It all looks pretty fun and fizzy and the perfect Christmas gift from Psych creator Steve Franks and his cast and crew. Broadway World has a complete list of the songs (14 of 'em!) in tonight's show, as well as the info that another Broadway star, Anthony Rapp of Rent fame, will be along for the ride. And Barry Bostwick! Yes, Fitz's evil father from Scandal was once a singing and dancing man himself, as the original Danny Zuko in Grease on Broadway, a Tony Award winner for The Robber Bridegroom, and, of course, Brad Majors in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rapp will be the villain o' the week, a playwright called Z who burned down a theater with a critic in it, while Bostwick will play someone named Armitage. Bostwick isn't listed as a participant in the musical numbers, which seems like a waste, but Rapp is, along with Psych regulars Maggie Lawson, Tim Omundson, Kurt Fuller and Kirsten Nelson and guest stars Ally Sheedy and Jimmi Simpson (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia).

Let the singing begin! Tonight at 8 Central on the USA Network.
