News & Notes
In TVaholic site news, I am presently having some trouble with my web-hosting provider (HostGator). For some reason I can’t login and post to a couple of my sites, this being one of them. They can’t seem to be able to determine the problem as of yet. So, in the meantime, I just hope that I will get lucky again, like yesterday, and be able to post this sometime today. I was supposed to have reviews of Monk and Psych and interviews from my recent Psych set visit posted over the last couple days, but I have barely been able to get this daily post out.

Meanwhile, he is also trying to keep Gus from quitting the detective agency. Plays again later. I will have more from my visit to the set of Psych, photos and interviews, posted once I can actually reliably post to my site. As I type this, I have no idea whether I will be able to post it or not.
