HOLLYWOOD — Damaged detective Adrian Monk will get a little company in the eccentric crime-solver department this summer.USA Network has picked up 11 episodes of a crime drama called "Psych," about a man who convinces police he's a psychic to avoid being charged with a crime, then ends up working for the department. The network sees it as a companion piece to "Monk," which like "Psych" mixes comedy in with its crime."The writing is fresh. The chemistry of the cast is extraordinary. It isn't easy to create a drama infused with comedy, and 'Psych' just knocks it out of the park," says Jeff Wachtel, head of original programming at USA.When he's accused of a crime that he actually solved by calling in a tip, Shawn Spencer (James Roday, "Miss Match," "The Dukes of Hazzard") convinces the cops that he's a psychic. Fortunately for him, Shawn is well-equipped to carry out the illusion because his police-officer dad (Corbin Bernsen, "L.A. Law") has instilled in his son the ability to notice every little detail of his surroundings."West Wing" regular Dule Hill also stars as Shawn's best friend and reluctant enabler, Gus."Big Daddy" writer Steve Franks created the show and will executive produce with Kelly Kulchak and Chris Henze.From wire reports
