Psych (USA, 10 p.m.) – Season premiere. Last season ended (seemingly nine years ago) with Shawn’s dad taking a bullet to the chest. Tonight’s premiere picks up from there, with Shawn going on a rampage to punish everyone responsible. This show is one of my guilty pleasures. I’m glad it’s back.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (NBC, 9 p.m.) – From TV Guide: “An up-and-coming singer is beaten by her famous boyfriend, but she won’t assist the prosecution. Before long, a media frenzy surrounds the case, and the defendant and his relentless lawyer add fuel to the fire.” This could be about literally anyone.
The Americans (FX, 10 p.m.) – I can’t think of any jokes about Felicity or the 1980s right now, so, I guess, just watch the show. It’s good.
Modern Family (ABC, 9 p.m.) – Elizabeth Banks is back as Cam and Mitchell’s wild-ass friend. This brings up an important point: Have you listened to her episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast? You really, really should. She seems like an incredibly cool lady.
Boston’s Finest/Southland (TNT, 10 p.m.) – Series premiere of Boston’s Finest. From TV Guide: “The work and lives of Boston cops are traced in this reality series co-executive produced by Donnie Wahlberg.” Holdonholdonholdon. A show/movie about blue collar workers/tough guys/cops from Boston? And it’s produced by or stars a Wahlberg? UNHEARD OF!
Battle for the Elephants (PBS, 9 p.m.) – Not what you think it is.
Top Chef (Bravo, 10 p.m.) – Season finale. If you want to get caught up, I recommend poking through the recaps at KSK. Cooking show recaps on a football site? That’s almost as crazy as that Wahlberg thing!
LATE NIGHT GUESTS: Stanley Tucci on Kimmel; Tina Fey, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Solange on Letterman; Tom Lennon and Mike Tyson on Ferguson; David Duchovny and J.B. Smoove on Leno; Christian Slater and Mia Wasikowska on Fallon; and Johnny Galecki and The Miz on Conan.

“Hold on, lassie, i’m getting something….”
My name is Shawn Spencer, this is my associate Lavender Gooms aka Gus “Silly Pants” Jackson.
and that is my psych impression
“My name is Gus, but you can call me John Slade.”
“On tonight’s episode of ‘The Americans’, the Russians introduce acid wash onto an unsuspecting populace.”
You’re welcome.
“Spencer, you missed something. We found prints.”
“Was he in a little red corvette?”
“Under the cherry moon?”
“Fingerprints.”
“So take your time and go slow. Do you see the man who sexually assaulted you?”
“Yes, it’s that one, number 4.”
*knocks on glass* “Ok, Eddie, number 4. Alright, lady, you can go through there and sign some paperwork.”
“Hey Eddie, who was number four?”
“Prince. She fingered Prince.”
He fingered Prince.
Elizabeth Banks will either play a pregnant woman or Paul Rudd’s girlfriend.
Pysch is great show solely because of Shawn and Gus.
Who doesn’t like Elizabeth Banks? Even if she tastes like a burger.
SVU sucks.
Why is Psych a guilty pleasure?
It’s fucking fantastic
It wasn’t too long before I listened to that WTF episode that I realized I didn’t really know dick about Betsy Banks, and kinda wondered if there was any substance to her. Was very glad to find out she’s a cool lady. That talk about her conception difficulties was very interesting. I was also pretty amused to find out that her real name was Elizabeth Mitchell and she changed it because of the one from LOST.
And Psych is great. It’s been forever and a day since I last watched an episode, though. It’s somehow never, ever on when I’m watching tv. Which is weird, ‘cuz I thought USA did reruns of their stuff all the goddamn time.
The Americans could be soo much better but they don’t trust their audience. They have to make it stark that the Russian KGB agent LOVES America sooo much. It’s utter BS, and completely unbelievable. Come on it’s the FIRST SEASON, quit trying to blow everything up every two fucking seconds.
Shawn: Your pickup line is “have you heard about Pluto? That’s messed up right?”
Gus: That’s a player’s move…
Gotta love Psych
