I'm sure you're all still talking about "The Devil's in the Details... and the Upstairs Bedroom" but I'll start this so it's here on September 11th.

That's two weeks from now, right?

Yep... there's no Psych next weekend because it's a 'holiday' weekend (Labor Day is that Monday).

However, in the working world now... I actually get that day off.



I'm *SO* looking forward to Yips! I mean... the boys all in those amazingly hot baseball t's?! HOT!

Lol, very hot=D

Okay, if I can just convince my parents to let me skip the football game that my sister's band is playing in on Sep. 11, this will work out perfectly. Because we're leaving next Friday for vacation, which means I won't miss any Psych that day! And I don't want to go to some wimpy high school football game on a Friday night. So boring, and I know it'll last past nine... and I'm not missing Psych for that!

I was going to be in Springfield MA for an event....but not anymore! So I'll be around to check it out.

Can somebody post a description of this episode? I'm having trouble finding anything in the spoiler thread.

I think you're looking for something a bit more detailed... but this is all I got:

"After a cop bar is shot up in an apparent robbery during Officer McNab's birthday celebration, Shawn realizes the shooter was actually targeting Lassiter.

Stephen Lang guest-stars in "Shawn Gets the Yips", premiering Friday, September 11 at 10/9C!"

Actually, that's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!

By the way... Are we supposed to know what Yips are? Are they like hiccups?

As a noun, yips means "a sharp bark or yelp" (according to dictionary.com). I wouldn't have known if I didn't look.

Well... I'm pretty sure in this case it's actually referring to the definition of: "a state of nervous tension affecting an athlete (as a golfer) in the performance of a crucial action <had a bad case of the yips on short putts>" (from Webster)

Or, in simpler terms, it can mean someone has become afraid of doing something they often doing, affecting their performance for the worst.

(Spoilers about Shawn Takes A... to follow)

Does that make sense?

I did know that, but I dismissed that because... Shawn's not a dog, lol. It sounded like a hiccup to me.

Sounds to me more like he lacks the ability to play baseball well or something. Because it's more a sports term than anything else.

Haha... I think I get the yips when I attempt to play any sport other than archery or badminton.

Okay, I just gotta express my frustration b/c I know y'all feel my pain...AHH! I gotta work all that night & will have to catch the eppy when I get home in the next AM! Stupid helping ppl for a living! ;P (@ least I have DVR, tho not a fan of the new rule saying that eppys are now online 1 week later. Are the usa peeps trying to emulate House now?!)

But I'm totally looking forward to seeing Buzz again, as well as any opportunity for Lassie and/ or Jules to look like badasses!

The one week thing happened at the end of last season as well... something about being able to get the first few out right away, but "due to bandwidth restrictions" the others have to be on a one week delay on the USA site and Hulu.

::shurgs:: Just how it goes. I'm thankful they put the up online in general, being w/o cable myself. Without them being online (or me having internet) my other option before was my parents recording it on VHS then sending me the tapes a month or two later (which they actually still do for me with a few shows).

I'm not sure how it will be used in the episode, but what the yips are in sports is basically a mental block. In the golf example given earlier it would literally mean that when they hit a short putt, they cannot do it. So I don't know exactly how it will be used on the show, but I'm sure it will be fantastic.

This episode looks great!! It's too bad we have to wait an extra week to see it.

Well by the way Shawn and Gus are dress it looks like they are part of the SBPD baseball team so I'm going to guess that Shawn is nervous or having a problem about his playing performance

The boys look AMAZING in the promo! I love the shirts that they are wearing! I know I have said this before but all of the Lassie-centered episodes turn out awesome!!I'm really mad that it won't be showing for two weeks!! That means that I don't get any new Monk or Psych after my first week back at school

This is also the last episode of Psych i'll get to watch with my sister before she leaves for college I'll have to make the night special

Where are the promos?

You can watch one of them on the main Psych page

I think it's good that some family friends are coming here to go camping because we'll be at the campgrounds and it will numb the pain a little that Psych isn't on friday.

on a sidenote: Winky, your avatar is ADORABLE!!!! I can't get over how cute it is!

LOL, thanks so much! I had to find a compromise, because I needed a frog (it's kinda become my signature), but I'm a fan of cute (maybe because it's so different than me)... I was so happy to find this pic! It's gonna be hard to change it (I have a couple dozen frog pictures waiting to be used).


But, I digress from topic... another reason I'm *REALLY* excited for this episode is, of course, LASSIE CENTERED! Me = scary TiManiac ready and drooling for some awesome Lassie action.

Yeppers. To be exact (because I read any and all spoilers),

I love Lassie-centric episodes. Every episode has some sort of emotional part to it (especially these last handful of episodes) but the Lassie-centric ones seem to have the most emotion to them. Maybe becasue Lassie is such a layered character...like an onion. I totally just made a Shrek reference. My chemistry teacher made that same reference but about atoms...weird.

Now THAT makes sense. Okay, now I got it. Thanks Bethgreen!

Oh, I thought there was a gallery of photos somewhere.

Lassie playing sports= Me not being able to breathe. I don't know if I can take 2 weeks without Psych let alone 2 weeks before a Lassie-centric one.

All I can say is that freeze-frame of Lassie in the SBPD softball shirt + white pants = makes me purr! (that's what guinea pigs do, don't be dirty-minded! ;-) ).

the link to the gallery is on the left part of the main page under the pictures of all the characters

Right. I meant of promos.

I wouldn't expect him to be all that comfortable in sports anyway- just don't see Shawn as a sports type person, and even mentioned that baseball stats are a big turn off for him



Now THIS is interesting! I have full faith in the awesome Psych people to pull it off!

On an unrelated note, heaven help any umpire that Lassie disagrees with during a game...

Oh, I hope that he gets in a fight with an umpire!!! I can just see him threatening to pull out his gun which I'm sure he has one strapped to him even though they are just paying baseball and has no need for it

Lmao. Yeah, I totally agree although that would be so much fun to watch.
Agree with the others on Lassie-centered episodes are so awesome thing, too.
High noon-ish was incredible!! I'm a TIManiac and I can't wait for the next episode- aww two weeks? I guess I can hoold out- I'm sure it's more than worth the wait!

I love how he still wears his holster with his baseball uniform. That is EPIC!

Ah, I think I finally understand what you were looking for... screencaps of the promo commercials?

No one's made them yet to my knowledge... except for this one that I grabbed because... TIM! :



Otherwise, hasn't been done yet. One of the cappers might be waiting til we have access to a higher quality, larger promo (I know I wanted that pic larger!)

Ha! You can't argue balls and strikes, Lassie would be outta there! I'm really excited for this episode...now we just gotta get through the two week break, but we made it over five months, we can do this easy

you know that's right

Yup. Thanks! I wonder how many people he'll freak out when he shows up with the gun...

I hope we get to meet Mrs. McNab. I've been curious about her ever since the first season.

Hasn't he always been a bit bad at throwing baseballs? I seem to remember one episode where he was throwing baseballs (or something else) at the dude who was following them. And he kept missing.

Wasn't it There's Something About Mira?

Tennis balls, and yes, that was Mira.

Well, I was close. I knew it was round and light colored.
XD

And yess, I got the eppy right *is proud* I'm usually horrible when it comes to remembering things.

heres a larger version but it not the best quality.. and Lassies in a totally different pose. lol

Me LIKE-Y!

Go ahead, Lassie! This eppy is going to be fun. They're really battin' a thousand this season.

I am sooooooo excited for this episode. Mostly because I love Psych. But also because "yips" reminds me of one of my other favorite shows, How I met your mother.
Which if it means the same general thing that Shawn will lose his mojo for a while.
I wish that it was this week.

Haha in that picture Lassie looks like he's gonna beat Shawn in the face lol

Haha. He always looks that way.

there are some promo pics on james-roday.net:
the last 3 on this page



they were baseballs actually. mightve been softballs but they were at batting cages so it wasnt tennis.

Don't we all

Just wondering, has anyone seen the longer promo yet??

Whoa... Sorry. I was having a crazy moment. I suddenly saw that scene combined with the tennis episode. However, I do know for sure that they were softballs.
