The Psych boys are back together again for one more case and, if your hopes and prayers are answered, at least one out-of-control sled ride through the Santa Barbara Police Department. USA announced today that James Roday’s faux psychic Shawn Spencer and Dulé Hill’s sensitive straight man Burton “Gus†Guster will reunite for a two-hour holiday film appropriately entitled Psych: The Movie this December, over three years after the series came to an end following eight seasons and over 120 episodes. Per the network’s description, “The ambitious friends — along with some returning fan-favorite characters — come together during the holidays after a mystery assailant targets one of their own.†The news is not only a treat for you devoted Psych-Os, but it also raises the question for all television fans: Why can’t every beloved show come back for a holiday movie? A Very Buffy Thanksgiving? Hanukkah Comes to the West Wing? Boo! A Felicity Halloween? The possibilities are … well, they aren’t endless, but they’re only limited by the number of holidays we have, and boy, we have plenty.
