So apparently Matthew Bomer is in a new show airing on USA.
White Collar is about a devilishly handsome con-man who is sprung from jail to help an FBI agent solve upscale crimes. It looks like it might be fun. It also has Tiffany Thiessen from Saved by the Bell as the agent's wife. This makes me feel really, really old. It premiers OCt 23. Anyone else gonna give it a go?

There's another season of this! I'm terrible at watching this show I like, but other people aren't!

If they make that a 'thing' Im gonna be pissed.
I mean I don't want PAs from Fringe holding their arms up trying to prevent me from going into my own building because they're filming.
Ugly Betty shouldn't block the goddamn sidetrack at 5PM in the financial district.
and if White Collar displaces me from my smoking spot Im not going to be happy.
Can't these fuckers do this shit on the weekend?

MOVED 1.6 MILES
Yeah, I'm sold. Hope it keeps up the quality.
I cracked up laughing when he was talking about the seized villa.
I'll get some pixures of the characters together and a get much better OP going. Then we can discuss such mysteries as "Who is the man with the ring?" and "How bangin' is June's granddaughter?"
but they're listening to every word I say

I found the pilot entertaining, but I don't think it's Burn Notice quality.
Yeah.
The chemistry between the characters was solid, the crime mystery part was spiffy, and it was over all enough to make me want to keep watching.
When did that happen?
I thought the writing and acting were both excellent.
There's some exposition from Neil after Peter finds him at the rich lady's house. He says: "'Snow White.' The phrase you decoded from the suspected Dutchman communique to Barcelona."
PS: It's up on Hulu already, wohoo. Hopefully they won't fall into that stupid 8-day trend like Fox shows.
If it's like the other USA shows new eps should be posted the day after they air (and it should be, I think the availabilities are a by-network thing, not a by-show thing).

Which is a really great show, also about criminals, but in that one they are actually stealing money, think of the show Leverage, but good.
So far I like it, but I am a sucker for any show with an overly charismatic main character. Which is the same reason I like Burn Notice.
EDIT: And apparently it will continue with 13 ONE HOUR episodes. I am thrilled...I love hour long shows, especially ones that have a lot of roundabout thinking.
You did not just imply that Leverage is anything but awesome.
I was going to mention something about this exact same part of his post but if he didn't find Leverage awesome then there was no hope for him anyway.
It just doesn't stand up to the show Hustle from the UK. I fully believe that if I had seen Leverage first the tables might be turned around.
They are different shows, and just the things I really like about it, which is the scheming and the plans are just done so much better in Hustle. I actually haven't watched Leverage in a while...so I think I might go watch some episodes and come back. Please hold for apologizing and saying Leverage is better (maybe). And I am not saying that Leverage isn't awesome, it's just that...I don't think it is as awesome...as some shows. Watch season 5 of Hustle...it puts Leverage to shame.
EDIT: Just watched episode 9 of season 2...and so far I feel the same way about it. I am going to stop talking about other shows now.
So, about White Collar. If they were hunting down this guy for two years are they just going to get a string of easier cases...or is Caffrey just going to be so amazing that they blow through cases that would usually take years in a manner of days?

Based on the second episode, it looks like the formula might be "we've been chasing notorious criminal X for years and now we have an opportunity to finally get them and you guys are on the case".
Did anyone else think the acting in the first half just seemed really bad? Maybe it was just my weird connection to Hulu saturday, but it seemed like almost everyone, especially at the party, just had a bunch of weird pauses, and really flat deliveries.
Also, I know I promised a real OP, but I was lazy, and did not deliver.
I'm a terrible parent.
It's an episodic TV show. They would not have a very easy time getting greenlights is every week we had a small amount of progress on several cases. Each and every week they are going to just happen to have a big counterfeiter accidentally pop up in NYC and snare him in an interesting way. If you're not on board with that you should go back to your Babylon-5 DVDs.
We're lucky to have the season-long B arc of the missing girlfriend - same as Burn Notice. Thug of the week with about 3 minutes of "Who Burned Me" at the beginning and end.
Also: Diana the lesbian agent from the Pilot is listed in IMDb as beaing a season-long regular, it's the undercover model agent with the big eyes who is a one-timer.
I thought it was hi-larious that the master codebreaker and counterfeiter were stumped by a cub-scout trick on the wine bottle.
Those of you who haven't watched Middleman are sad fragments of human beings, deserving only my pity.

The guy who kidnapped Kate. Or so it seems. But after last episode Kate's acting way weird for being a kidnapedee.
Maybe I have been watching The Big Lebowski too much recently.
I really liked this latest episode about the portrait. The sting on the museum curator at the end are the kind of things I was hoping to see from an ex-conman.
Now that I know that the cases of the week aren't going to be huge counterfeiters with small armies behind them every week I feel much better about watching this show. I also like shows that know how to balance a subplot like this and burn notice, occasionally focusing a bit more on that every 3 or 4 episodes. I do wish it would have taken a bit longer for us to see Kate again, it makes it seem too easy.
Bryce Larkin sure is an attractive dude
