There was a time when USA Network steadily churned out solid, comfort food-style original programming that was generally referred to as its "Blue Sky Era." The shows were light, breezy, and fun. That era ran for about a decade before coming to a close in 2016, and included shows like "Burn Notice," "White Collar," and of course, the show that kicked it all off, "Monk." While the Blue Sky Era may be over, one of its shows has somehow, somewhat miraculously kept chugging along: "Psych."
Even though the series ended in 2014, the cult hit comedy about a fake psychic detective named Shawn Spencer and his best friend and (often unwilling) partner Gus developed such a rabid fanbase that the creative team behind the show has managed to churn out three made-for-tv films, which came out in 2017, 2020, and 2021.

Running for eight seasons and three television movies, the USA Network's popular crime comedy series "Psych" debuted in 2006 and put the fun back in murder mysteries. The series follows private investigator Shawn Spencer (James Roday Rodriguez) and his lifelong best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill), as they work with the Santa Barbara Police Department to solve tricky crimes. In a premise similar to "The Mentalist" (but predating that CBS procedural by two years), Shawn is brought in due to his purported psychic abilities. However, his keen observational skills fuel his crimefighting.
More than just a standard crime show, "Psych" leans into the comedic chemistry between its ensemble cast, buoyed by an extensive roster of guest stars each season to join in on Shawn and Gus' irreverent antics. As the series progresses, "Psych" incorporates more overt pop culture references, from parodies of popular films to an entire musical episode.
