White Collar

[Despain]

New show on USA. Couldn't find a thread, so. Series Premiere was tonight. Definitely a show to watch. USA never disappoints, aside from In Plain Sight >_>'

[BerenTebogo]

In plain sight was terrible, but do you know what's worse than In plain sight?

EVERY SINGLE ORIGINAL TNT SHOW EVER MADE, EVER.

Gonna tune in a bit later to see white collar.

[Boyiee]

I just watched it, wasn't bad.

The beginning was a little overboard, but the show didn't disappoint, actually kept me watching the entire time.

I do like the fact that there aren't just white people on this show! In fact, most of the women that were being flirted with and were actually hot are Black! AND ONE IS A LESBIAN! Good job USA. There needed to be some of these colors on tv.

Leverage is pretty fun.

[BerenTebogo]

No it isn't.

Just watched White Collar and I really enjoyed it. Better than Royal Pains by far. Definitely will be keeping up with the series.

[fishstix]

The show is sorta like the end of Catch me if you can, if anyone's on fence about giving it a chance. Convicted conman helps FBI agent solves crimes.

Bryce Larkin is so smooth.


Leverage is ok, Heist was 10x better though, too bad it was canceled so quickly.

[Despain]

Leverage never appealed to me, but yes. Definitely gonna keep up with White Collar. The acting wasn't bad at all. I remember watching the first few episodes of Royal Pains and thinking about how bad the acting was. Eventually though, it all came together.

USA has a ton of good shows. Burn Notice comes back January

[BadKarma]

I like this show. Very, very much. I also like Tiffani Thiessen very, very much.

I haven't watched the season premiere yet, but how much do you like Royal Pains, since you compared it to it but I have no baseline XD

[BerenTebogo]

I enjoyed royal pains to the point that i watched each EP prolly 2/3x and found it amusing if not overly jewish.

I really enjoyed white collar. It's no psych or burn notice but it's good.

[Ryko]

USA is easily my favorite channel, this show started off exceptionally

[Overburn]

I remember seeing the previews for this show like 2 months ago and looking for it then. Kinda forgot about it and didn't even know it started until I saw this thread. I liked it. The events were kinda obvious, but it was pretty cool nonetheless.

[fishstix]

I didnt like Royal Pains, but really enjoy White Collar. I dont think the style, formula, story is comparable, just that it's an off season show?

[Iono]

I didn't like how he smooth talked the old lady into staying with her. It didn't seem smooth enough... Other than that I kinda liked it.

[Olo401]

Thought it was really clever.. better & more appealing backplot than Royal Pains. I kinda dig how he's all into living the life of a old fashioned player (tho getting a rental in NYC with rent that low is just over the top).

[Ziero]

I didn't like how he smooth talked the old lady into staying with her. It didn't seem smooth enough... Other than that I kinda liked it.

Well with that, I'd chalk it up more to this guy having seemingly great luck rather then his ability to smooth talk people. Especially considering the old lady seems to know how smooth talkers, and con men, work. It wasn't that he smooth talked his way in, he didn't really need to. He just got really lucky to find someone who could respect a man of his particular talents.

It was certainly a good show, and something I look forward to watching.

[Araelus]

Eh, Caffrey should have paid attention to who was leaving the party

Spoiler: show

right after they blow their cover by overtly jumping the wrong guy. Smooth move.

Aaand - commercial break.

Rest of the episode was good, especially when they just let the characters stand around and talk to each other.

Spoiler: show

Whoever is writing their banter lines has a great sense of humor - MAD magazine folding thing, waiting for Godot pun - and I appreciate the "twists" holding to continuity, such as finding Burke's business card on the girl.

But each thread of the dress containing complex holographic information plant this episode firmly in near-future genre territory. Dunno about counterfeiting currency, if you have a working high-density holographic storage medium that is a license to print money. Maybe that was a pun the script writers weren't allowed to use. Say a terabyte per 0.06 cubic inch.

[GRT]

you know that new budlight commercial with the "too light, too heavy" taglines?

this show, and most other usa shows, give me that "too light" feeling, i can't really explain it

[Iono]

Anything happen after

Spoiler: show

he picked up the bottle

? Mine got cut off

[Overburn]

That was the end of the episode, unless mine cut off, too.
