USA Network has ordered three additional episodes of "Psych," its freshman comedy drama about an amateur sleuth who tricks the police into believing he’s a psychic.The pickup, which brings the total order for the show to 15 episodes, including the 90-minute pilot, bodes well for the future of the series. It stars James Roday as the sleuth and and Dule Hill as his best friend. "Psych," whose premiere drew 6.1 million viewers, a record for a cable series debut this year, is expected to be picked up for a second season soon.Since its July 7 premiere, "Psych" has retained most of its "Monk" lead-in. Season-to-date, "Psych" has averaged 3.9 million viewers compared with "Monk’s" 4 million.Both shows are expected to follow the split-season pattern of "Monk," running through month’s end and then returning with fresh episodes in January.
