There is a reason why Cybill was cast. This from "Psych" creator Steve Franks:
Cybill Shepherd will portray the mom of Shawn Spencer
(James Roday) when "Psych" starts its third season in
July.
Shepherd will have a recurring role as a psychologist
whose free-spirited style helps explain the hero's
offbeat approach to life. Oh, and the casting means
that Shepherd also will play the ex-wife of Henry
Spencer (Corbin Bernsen). So there's some serious TV
nostalgia at work here when you have Shepherd, the
star of "Moonlighting" and "Cybill," cast as the
former spouse of an "L.A. Law" star. What fun.
In a release, "Psych" creator Steve Franks said he
drew inspiration for his show from watching Shepherd
and Bruce Willis act on "Moonlighting. " Franks' father
was a police officer who worked on the "Moonlighting"
set, and he took young Steve to work.
"In a way, the seeds of 'Psych' and my whole life path
were planted there on the set watching the terrific
comic interplay between Cybill and that other guy,"
Franks said. "I learned so much about the potential of
comedy within a mystery structure. To have Cybill on
our show is more than an honor. It's the best payoff
ever."
Viewers can judge for themselves when "Psych" returns
July 18 on USA Network.
