Psych

CONTEST: PSYCH-Os Vote for One of Three Possible Season 8 Episodes. Winner Announced at Comic-Con – Updated

Update: Filming of Psych season 8 in Vancouver extended to August 23rd.

How could Psych-Os not vote for the “Food Truck” storyline in the season 8 episode contest for fans? Snacks are so important to Shawn and Gus (James Roday and Dulé Hill below). Can you imagine the shenanigans if these two have their own food truck full of snacks when they go undercover to solve the mystery of a murdered Santa Barbara food truck owner?  The USA network officially ordered two more episodes of Psych today for a total of ten in what is likely the final season  — one greenlit by the network from five additional scripts and the other to be voted on by fans from three possible storylines below. Start voting tomorrow: Psych Season 8 Viewers Choice.
  • FOOD TRUCK – When the well-known owner of a beloved Santa Barbara food truck is mysteriously murdered, Shawn and Gus, fans of delicious flavor, are determined to solve the crime as only they can. They go undercover as proprietors of the PSYCH Naptime Food Truck, and soon discover that the high-profit world of Santa Barbara’s mobile food business is cutthroat, insular and a place of many secrets – many of them worth killing for.

  • TELETHON – In a classic “How-dunnit” case with a PSYCH twist, Shawn and Gus investigate a murder that Shawn is convinced was committed by the beloved host of Santa Barbara’s annual Children’s Hospital Telethon. There’s only one problem – the host was seen by hundreds of thousands of people on live television during the exact time the murder occurred elsewhere. Can Shawn steal the show, poke a hole in this rock-solid alibi, and prove the host did it?
