On the Twin Peaks tribute episode
Most importantly, James wants people to either watch or record the first airing of the episode on Wednesday, December 1 because it is supersized with eight extra minutes of footage that will not be included in subsequent airings.
The episode came about because Twin Peaks is James' all-time favorite show and at the end of the first season, he went to Steve Franks and said he wanted to do a tribute episode. Steve immediately got on board, but it has taken four years for Psych to build up the momentum and be in a place where they could do it right. According to James, who called the episode "a fan boy's dream,"it was worth the wait. "It came out way better than I think it would have if we had done it earlier."Admitting his bias, since he did co-write the episode, James still gushed, "I've never been prouder of anything we've done on Psych."
On who's in and out of the Twin Peaks episode
James said they started with a wish list of seven Twin Peaks actors they wanted and only two of the list (Michael Ontkean and Madchen Amick) couldn't appear, but they got two others to appear in their stead. Appearing will be: Sherilyn Fenn, Sheryl Lee, Dana Ashbrook, Ray Wise, Robyn Lively, Lenny Von Dohlen and Catherine Coulson
When asked why Kyle MacLachlan or Lara Flynn Boyle weren`t asked to appear in the episode, James said that they didn't ask MacLachlan because Agent Cooper was too iconic a character and because, as we'll see in the episode, "Shawn and Gus become Agent Cooper."Boyle, who didn't appear in the Twin Peaks movie, wasn't asked because they wanted the episode to be a "big love fest"and only asked the people they thought seemed most connected to the show and would have the most fun.

Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
Oh wow. After reading this, it all makes sense.
They originally wanted Ontkean to reprise the role of a Sheriff, and that went to Lenny. Then they wanted Dana and Madchen to be the owners of the RR equivalent in this episode, but since Madchen dropped out, Robyn took her place.
The pieces are coming together now.
Interesting how the Lara Flynn Boyle not getting along has continued to follow her this far along.

Does USA broadcast in HD? If so, man, I really hope someone records it!
Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
I'm sure it will be available in some shape or form for those that don't have USA Network.

Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
Tears of joy!
I hope these actors get to interact with one another -and man, oh, man -I'm still holding out for a Fenn/MacLachlan reunion sometime in my life.
*and though i know nothing, I'm calling it now, either Lee or Fenn is the murderer -or they all did it together.

God, I love this music. Isn't it too dreamy?
Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
SO excited!! I have no idea how I'm going to see this being in the UK but I will! Somehow! I think Psych airs somewhere on Virgin Media but I'm not sure which series.
Great screen caps.. thank-you so much! I didn't realise quite how much of a tribute this would be.

Lenny van Dohlen taking on Ontkean's role as the sheriff? How wrong is that?

Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
One of the production stills has someone hanging from the library -I hope that somebody doesn't make only one appearance and then offs themselves.

Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
these images give me a strange feeling
Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
I think it is going to be a fun episode. I don't expect it to be more than a tribute with some fun pokes at the series. The writers for this series do some great stuff and have a lot of fun with very obscure references to 80's/90's pop culture. It will be cool to see how many they throw in for this episode.
Re: Twin Peaks Themed Psych Episode
Gah Sheryl lee looks so dreamy in the screenshots. cant wait for this episode.
