TV News: USA Network Announces Powerful New Thursday Night Lineup

There are so many great shows on USA Network, but I’m excited about Psych season eight. I’ve recently caught up with the series having ordered all the seasons on my video rental service. I’m on season five and I absolutely love this show. Shawn and Gus crack me up. I love when Shawn asks Gus to “say it with a Jamaican accent.” Then of course all Pysch-O’s know about the upcoming musical airing Sunday, Dec. 15. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited about the other shows too, but I just love me some Psych!
