Monk: Season 7, Episode 8 "Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized" (B+)
Psych: Season 3, Episode 8 "Gus Walks into a Bank" (B+)
Great finishes to both these seasons. Seeing "Monk" get hypnotized is a lot of fun, though it actually took me a minute to realize that he was acting like a young kid since he just seemed far less stressed out. Great to see Harold Crenshaw again, and I'm especially impressed at how Monk is able to solve crimes even without the help of his maturity. I can't say that "Monk" actually progressed terribly far this season, but it's nice to see Monk actually trying to look for the pleasant things in life.
As far as "Psych" goes, Shawn is just such a terrific character. His inability to take any situation, no matter how grave, seriously is impossibly amazing. Gus' telling him he loves him was great. Both Alan Ruck (Cameron from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and Gary Cole (Lumbergh from "Office Space") were fun to see as guest stars, but I wish their talents had been more extensively utilized. I love Shawn's flirtation with Juliet, and I hope to see more of the two of them in the future.
Looking forward to seeing these shows return in January!
