James Roday Talks PSYCH Season 6 and 7. The USA Network comedy series Psych returns for the remainder of its sixth season on February 2. Indiana Shawn And The Temple Of The Kinda Crappy, Rusty Old Dagger,” marking the return of Despereaux (Cary Elwes). Joining Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dul. Check out what he had to say after the jump: Collider: Even though I was extremely jealous of you, I have to say that the Twin Peaks tribute episode that you did on Psych almost mended my broken heart over that show’s cancellation. JAMES RODAY: Oh, my gosh, you and me both!

If only for the length of the episode, I felt that much better. RODAY: Yeah, it was pretty phenomenal.

I’m such a huge fanboy of that show, and it was like going back in time and getting to be in an episode. It was pretty surreal. A lot of that cast hadn’t seen each other in 1. The show was like a reunion for them. It’s was awesome! It was emotional and very special.

What can fans expect from the return episode, “Indiana Shawn and the Temple of the Kinda Crappy, Rusty Old Dagger”? RODAY: We are premiering with the third appearance from Cary Elwes as his character, Despereaux. It’s a bit of a tribute to the Indiana Jones franchise, on top of that. You can expect a little more action and adventure then we usually deliver.

Great news for fans of Suits and Psych: Dulé Hill is coming to season seven this summer as the new character Alex Williams. PSYCH is a quick-witted dramedy following young police consultant Shawn Spencer who solves crimes with powers of observation so acute that Santa Barbara PD detectives.

It’s a lot of fun. It was written and directed by our creator, Steve Franks. If you’re at all familiar with him and his episodes, they generally are the most bouncy and fun episodes that we do. It also happens to be my personal favorite of the Despereaux batch. I think fans will be pumped. What is it about the Despereaux character that makes him someone you want to keep bringing back? RODAY: It’s a fun idea that Shawn is enchanted by this guy.

He’s one of the few criminals that has managed to either keep pace with us or stay ahead of us. It’s a little bit of the Roadrunner/Coyote act. And then, when Cary came up and was a complete and utter gentleman, and a lot of fun to hang out with, it clenched it, that we would keep the character coming back. What was it like to get to work with your first TV crush, M? Did it live up to the expectation? RODAY: I was a little nervous, on the first day.

That wasn’t something that I created to help promote the episode. She was legitimately my first major TV crush. I was 1. 2 or 1. 3 years old, and I wanted to be Bobby and I wanted Shelly to be my girlfriend. That was the deal.

And, I’ve been friends with Dana Ashbrook for over a decade. Luckily, I got enough of a sense from him of what to expect from M.

She’s still very, very sexy, and she can bring it. She was a blast! We didn’t catch her, at the end of the episode, so there’s an open end there, as well. Did you let her know that she was your first TV crush? Watch The Second Arrival Mediafire.

RODAY: Oh, yeah! At this point, it’s so many years later. She’s happily married and her daughter was with her, on set, so it was pretty easy to just lay it out there. Do you enjoy the episodes where you guys get to do some more physical work? RODAY: Yeah. I did a lot of physical stuff in the first couple of seasons, when we were coming out of the gates and trying to figure out what the show was and what this psychic thing was going to be. And then, we got away from that for awhile. Just over the last season or so, we reopened that box and what we’ve discovered is that it’s a lot harder than it used to be. I will say, without shame, that my brilliant stunt performer, who has been covering me for years, did a lot of work for me this past season.

I used to be the dude that wanted to try all of his own stuff, if they would let me. Not anymore. Is there a point that you realized that really anything goes with this show? RODAY: Yeah, I think it was when they let me direct the first time and I did an homage to Friday the 1. We were out there at the camp, basically shooting a slasher movie.

That was Season 3, and that’s when it hit me that, “Wow, this show is anything we want it to be, as long as Shawn and Gus are doing their thing.” It’s pretty remarkable, and it’s certainly kept things fresh for us. We come in, at the beginning of each season, with a wishlist of costumes that we want to wear and things that we haven’t done yet, and just start checking them off.

It’s a very unique show, in that way, and it’s a testament to our writing staff and the cast, that we can move in and out of different worlds, every week. I think it helps with the longevity of the show. I think it’s kept us on the air, quite frankly. We can keep throwing fans surprises. Like any show, we have episodes that aren’t as good, but I feel like because we always take such big swings, it’s okay to strike out, every now and again, because when we connect, I feel like we really do connect.

It’s rare that you sit down for an episode of Psych and think, “Oh, that was just okay.” For the most part, we’re either really knocking the ball around, or we’re striking out and failing miserably, but you don’t ever want to be anywhere in between. How do you go about deciding which episodes you’ll direct? RODAY: It usually starts with a concept. I knew I wanted to do slasher. I knew I wanted to do Hitchcock.

I volunteered to do Christmas because I thought it would be an interesting challenge. I was the last person that anybody at our network or on our show expected to direct a Christmas episode, so I felt like I should toss my hat in the ring and give that a try. And then, once we have a concept and a story, because I usually write the ones I direct as well, I do generally try to marginalize Shawn, as much as I can, and put the focus on the other actors, which is twofold. That allows me more time to focus on making it look as good as possible, and I love watching my co- stars work. Nothing pleases me more than when they get a chance to do something that they don’t usually get to do, or they have a central storyline. It’s a way to guarantee both of those things. And The Shining tribute episode, “Heeeeere’s Lassie” (Episode 1.

RODAY: Yes. That is a Tim Omundson special, I’ll tell ya. It was so much fun. It was such a joy to watch him tackle that. He went full Jack . He killed it! The ideal, for me, when I’m directing is something where Shawn is used judiciously and I can really play with the other guys and give them the chance to do something different. When you guys decide, each season, what things you want to pay tribute to, have any of the other cast members ever said, “You want me to do what?!”?

RODAY: They get so pumped, when we come to them and say, “Okay, you’re going to get to do this.” They watch Dul. It’s like getting the call to pinch- hit in the bottom of the ninth in the World Series. It’s really exciting for them. They’re so good at what they do, and they’re so great at keeping the show on the ground and making Dul. I wish we could do it for them more often. The longer that we last, I suspect that we will. But, we’ve got gamers on the show, man.

When you say, “Jump!,” they say, “How high?” What other tributes or homage episodes do you have lined up, for the remainder of this season? RODAY: We riff on The Bachelor, except I guess it would be The Bachelorette because it’s one girl and a bunch of guys. And then, our season finale is a little bit of an homage to Chinatown.

We call it “Santabarbaratown.” And, we’ve got three others in the mix that are all their own concoctions, one of which is directed by Jennifer Lynch, who you should know from writing Laura Palmer’s diary. She’s making her television directing debut on our show, which was absolutely thrilling. Watch Satan`S Little Helper Hindi Full Movie there.

It’s a weird, twist- y little go- down- the- rabbit- hole episode that we constructed, especially for her. French Stewart guest stars and plays a wonderfully weird little character. It’s also got a lot of Woody the coroner (Kurt Fuller) in it, which is always fun for me. I’m looking forward to that one. Now that you know that you’ll have a Season 7, are you already trying to line up things you want to do and see if you can get certain guest stars? RODAY: Yeah, we’ve started.
