It's crazy to think it's been five years since "Psych" first started airing. It's crazier to think that we're six seasons into this show. I can fondly recall my first days on the set with this fantastic bunch, and seeing what the writers have in store this season, along with what I've put in as a writer, it's an incredibly surreal realization, the show is almost five years old. We've done some crazy stuff, some fun spoofs and just some fun storylines. At the end of season five, we'll wrap up a three season story arc. Some people have been whispering about getting out while the getting is good, but I find it difficult to fathom.
Granted, I have grown up a lot, where Shawn has, but hasn't. I was 29 when the show started. I'm older than dirt now, and I do understand that at one point, the show must go on. You have to leave them while they want more if you want to be memorable. But I don't feel like it's time. There's still so much to wrap up with Psych. Henry and Shawn never truly made amends, there was a hanging possibility of Maddie/Henry and of course, Shules. And Shassie. So many fan favorite things that they want closure on that we may not be able to pack into the second half of the season if they decide to can us.
I've nagged Maggie into a mini vacation in between the show airs, but I'm not sure we'll be able to do anything, kind of depends on if the agents call. We've been together four years now, which is insane for me. I walk onto the set for a job and I meet the love of my life. It hasn't been without it's bumps, but there hasn't been anything terribly serious. My penchant for going unshaven, and for a while, keeping the relationship on the DL so that we'd still be respected at work. Something that turned out to be completely unnecessary, by the way. I don't know, I've lost that thought, but, it's been fantastic. I couldn't dream of being happier any other way.
I'm not without work if Psych ends though, I still run Red Dog Squadron with friends. Many of my Psychmates have had something or other to do with my RDS productions and I know if we get canceled, that'll be the case too. Maybe even moreso, we can write a wrapup play to tie up loose endings! It'll take a while for it to reach all of our fans...unless we post it to Youtube...Or a fan posts it. But I guess that's a silly little idea. The thought is there, we'll figure out what needs to be done. But in the meantime, we are on our new night Wednesday at 10, so if you ever need a good laugh up until the 8th and we come back November 10th! I promise we're just as mysterious and funny as we have been!
