'Psych' creator considers musical episode

The creator of Psych has admitted that he would like to produce a musical episode.

The show starts filming its fifth season this week and Steve Franks explained that he is excited about working on new ideas.

"We're doing something we always wanted to do in the first episode we're shooting and that's a Dulé Hill [Burton 'Gus' Guster] tapdance," Franks told Zap2It.

"We're going to humiliate Tim Omundson [Carlton 'Lassie' Lassiter] quite a bit and we're really excited. I think it's a lot of fun."

He continued: "We've got four scripts in now. We're going to do a Hong Kong, Jackie Chan, kung fu episode, which is going to be so much fun, and we're doing a Dirty Rotten Scoundrels-type thing... We're doing a UFO episode which is really, really fun. So just off the first four and then we've got a Fast And The Furious [episode] coming up. We've got a lot of really good fun stuff."

Franks also revealed that he will work on a musical episode when he has enough time.

"We always bandy about the idea of doing a musical," he explained. "It could happen this year."

He added: "For me it's like, if we're going to do a musical I want to be the one who writes it. And at this point it's like, OK, as soon as I get time."
