I was dubious about the casting of Thiessen on White Collar, but I'm okay with it. It's a well-written role and there isn't too much of her.
But the Kate casting is awful. The most interesting thing I can think about her is that she's playing Neal. But that's nothing I'm getting from the actress and the writing is fairly neutral.
I just don't get why Neal is obsessed with her. I can often be fairly lax about these things, just wanting a character I like to get their object of affection, but this I don't buy.
Wait - I thought that they were teaming White Collar up with Burn Notice on Thursdays?
They changed their mind AGAIN??!!??
USA pats themselves on the back for their formula.
I'd always thought that, despite Bruce Campbell, Burn Notice was a bit dark for their tone, but given that it used to be "in Newark, in rat-infested alleyways" I can see how they've done some work to make it more their own.
But what really caught my eye was the assertion that a network that ran 8 seasons of Monk was focussed on "aspirational, upbeat characters who don't view themselves as victims and aren't Debbie Downers."
Wow, that article made me more than a little ashamed that I adore White Collar and have watched In Plain Sight. I don't think I really want to be their audience...

Don't be a Debbie Downer, Cass.
Does anyone know anything about this new TNT show, with Andre Braugher and Scott Bakula? I like them both (so long as I ignore the existence of Enterprise), but the advertising makes it look kind of meh.
Still, Andre Braugher on my television!

::resolves to be an aspirational, upbeat character::
I just know it exists and I will watch it even though the premise sounds terrible and it also has Ray Romano. There is supposedly a preview video at tnt.tv, but it isn't playing for me.
Dude, they show *House* on USA.
House makes *me* feel better, but that's because I'm not right.
I mean, that's like showing your "Family values" with the "Emanuel Follies", right?
And, yeah, I'm kind of excited by the Braugher show. Love him, and have seen Diner five times.
I think that's all you need for that one, right?
Ha...does that make Romano Old!Turtle?
Consuela, it's a show about men going through a midlife crisis. I love Braugher, but I don't think I like him that much. Ray is a toss-up. I like his standup and he's nice. It's the premise.
