Monk: Season 7, Episode 5 "Mr. Monk is Underwater" (B+)
Psych: Season 3, Episode 5 "Disco Didn't Die. It Was Murdered!" (B+)
Monk getting stuck on a submarine is a fantastic plotline which plays perfectly to his phobias. His conjuring of Dr. Bell on the ship to cope with his fears of boats and claustrophobia is wildly amusing, and utilized just to the breaking point so as not to become tedious or annoying. I thought that Casper Van Dien was supposed to be a bad actor - what with his starring in the straight-to-video "Starship Troopers 3" - but he's actually well-cast for the role of Natalie's wannabe lover. On the "Psych" side of things, I'm happy that Corbin Bernsen continues to be deeply involved in each case, and I especially liked the scene with Shawn, the bomb, and Lassiter and O'Hara making themselves out to be far more heroic than they really are.
