Steve Franks talks “Psych The Musical”

December 14, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Given how often it has spoofed various film genres and conventions, it makes perfect sense that the hit USA Network mystery-comedy series Psych would take on musicals. And the cast and crew — including writer-director Steve Franks, who spoke to me about the project — accomplish this in a terrifically entertaining way with the special two-hour episode Psych The Musical. A stand-alone special (Season 8 of Psych will start up Jan. 8), Psych: The Musical retains the fun of the regular series, incorporating humor and mystery, and adding in enjoyable music. Explaining the genesis of the idea for Psych The […]

December 2, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

“I’ve got 10 days, and I still haven’t written this,” Michael Bublé told me in a late October phone conversation about his new NBC holiday program, Michael Buble’s 3rd Annual Christmas Special.
