Subject: Schanke on 'Psych'
If anyone is awake out there...
Schanke was on last Knight's = Wed ep of 'PSYCH' @10:00 on USA cable channel
AND it is repeating RIGHT NOW @ 1:00AM
The original air date is 5/1/2013
The ep is "Santa Barbarian Candidate"
This ep will also repeat Today Thurs 5/2 @ 11:00pm and
Sun 5/5 @ 10:00AM
And you may check -i think it is carried On-Demand -USA by some carriers
Anyway, JK has a is in this ep thru-out, so try to catch near the beginning -- he looks pretty good and has an interesting role. Well worth the effort to try to watch for our JK/Schanke even if you do not regularly watch 'Psych', IMHVaqO :)
~Enjoy :)

Thank you for posting this, Allison. Oldtimers may remember what Nigel
said; but it's not something I've ever read before.
It's fascinating to see him trying to make sense of the final episode by
superimposing a measure of continuity on Season Three. It *is* darker in
many ways, of course; but I doubt if--at the time each episode was
written--there was any intention of creating a context for a finale. (They
did not, after all, initially expect the series to be cancelled so
abruptly.) However, I can see how, from an actor's perspective,
interpreting LK as the climax to a season of doom would help to justify its
content.
