Monk: Season 7, Episode 2 "Mr. Monk and the Genius" (B+)
Psych: Season 3, Episode 2 "Murder?…Anyone?…Anyone?…Bueller?" (B+)
This week's installments of the Friday night USA comedies are slightly better than last week's premieres. While "Monk" actually moves forward at a rather plodding pace and lacks a big reveal at the end, it's still an amusing ride and David Strathairn always gives a great performance. "Psych" was truly terrific, with a fantastic high school reunion episode which highlights Dule Hill's comedic efforts and James Roday's attempts at flirtation. I was especially impressed with a near-unrecognizable Rachel Leigh Cook as Shawn's high school crush. And Corbin Bernsen and Cybill Shepherd play well together as Shawn's parents. These shows feel especially appropriate for the summer, adequately showcasing murder stories in a lighter, happier nature than many others.
