This sounds like good casting to me.
Cybill Shepherd is joining Psych for a mini-arc as Shawn's mom. The actress, best known on TV from her hit series
Moonlighting (remember, her and Bruce Willis?), has recently been on Showtime's
The L Word. Cybill's not a great dramatic actress, but she is pretty funny and should fit in perfectly with the goofy, good-natured fun on
Psych.
When
Psych comes back to USA Network on July 18 with new shows, her episodes (at least two) will be broadcast. She's playing Madeleine, Henry's ex-wife and Shawn's mama. So far in the series, Maddie (like Maddie Hayes in
Moonlighting perhaps?), has not been shown in the scenes depicting Shawn -- and Gus's -- childhood. Corbin Bernsen, who plays Henry, has worn a hairpiece for the retro scenes and goes bald for the present day scenes. We'll see whether Cybill's in both scenes or not...
According to the show, when Madeleine appears in Santa Barbara, she's coming from Europe and wants to visit her sonny boy. The visit, so we're told, dredges up some old memories. And since this is a crime/caper/mystery show, perhaps Maddie's bound to get involved in one of Shawn's cases.

According to
Entertainment Weekly's
Hollywood Insider blog, deaf actress and Oscar winner Marlee Matlin may be appearing on the next edition of ABC's
Dancing With the Stars.
As
EW mentions, having Matlin guest star on the dancing competition would not be surprising since the series has been trying to "defy casting expectations and prejudices."
DWTS fans will recall that Heather Mills, who wears a prosthetic leg, appeared in the fourth season of the show.

Showtime's upcoming fifth season of The L Word will premiere first on OurChart.com, a lesbian-focused social community, according to BusinessWire.com. The OurChart.com premiere is slated for December 30, 2007 followed by the Showtime premiere on January 6, 2008. The choice is no coincidence, as co-founder and CEO of OurChart.com, Ilene Chaiken, is also the creator/producer of The L Word.
This is, regardless of anything else, another example of how technology and the new online media is becoming more and more intertwined with traditional television viewing.

Writers of
The L Word are
including the show's fans in a very unique way. They've started a 'fanisode' contest where fans team up with writers to
script an episode one scene at a time. Each week, the writers will announce a scene mission on their
website and fans create it. Then fans vote on which submissions they like
the best. It's a process that repeats itself each week until an entire episode is created out of fan-chosen and
fan-created scenes. However, writers are not guaranteeing that the particular episode will air.
The fans
whose scenes are elected will receive prizes, mostly in the form of gift certificates or a piece of schwag from
The
L Word set. At the end of the competition, which is March 31, one of the previous winners will be randomly chosen
for e-mail mentoring from one of
The L Word's writers and a $1,000 gift certificate to Saks.
