The new season of Burn Notice starts on 1/22! Episode description: "Do No Harm" Michael agrees to help the father of a sick boy recover money from a medical scam artist, but Sam worries that Michael is reaching his limit.

The Emmy Award-winning hit original series, THE STARTER WIFE, starring Debra Messing .

A year has gone by, and Molly Kagan's happy ending has fallen apart; her children's book didn't sell, her love life is non-existent, and her ex-husband is bouncing checks because he sank all his money into his latest film. Realizing she must rely on herself, Molly joins a writer's workshop to give her career a shot in the arm. Intimidated at first, reading from her private diary wins Molly the praise of the group. Although things are looking up, when Molly refuses to sell the dirt in her diary, everything goes awry. Premieres Friday, October 10 at 9pm/8c and then every Friday at 10pm/9c

Starter Wife Review by Erin

"I was such a huge fan of the mini-series, The Starter Wife, I was thrilled to hear that it would be returning to USA as a new original series. Debra Messing steals the spotlight as Molly Kegan and Danielle Nicoletand Chris Diamantopoulos make up a the cast of solid supporting actors. Debra Messing plays Molly Kegan, the ex wife of a Hollywood Movie producer, who left her high and dry for a teen pop star look a like.

Messing's character is fun and witty and continues to remind me of why I feel in love with Grace on NBC's hit show Will & Grace. The series begins Friday October 10th and is titled "The Forty Year-Old Virgin Queen." This first episode finds Molly swearing off men and figuring out a life for herself, as she slowly watches her ex husbands, latest blockbuster fail. But a simple life will not start off to be so simple, she takes a job as a crossing guard at her daughters elite school, as all the parents prep for a fashion show of dropping there children off. She does however; find sanctuary in pen and paper as she writes about gossip in her journal, only soon to find that her journal entries have been sold to a popular gossip blog for all of LA to read.

I will always be a Debra Messing fan, she is fun, clever, and doesn't mind being goofy to get a laugh out of her audience. She is the perfect actress to portray Molly Kegan, and to lead the cast.. I can't wait to ditch all my Friday night plans and park myself on the couch to catch what will happen to Molly and the gang. The two hour special will air on Friday night starting at 9pm"


Monk
- The murder of his wife Trudy, in a crime he has never solved, has intesified Adrian Monk's obsessive- compulsive disorder to a near crippling degree. He is off of the San Francisco police force on an extended psychiatric leave and is now a freelance detective and consultant, with the help of Natalie Teeger, who replaced Sharona Fleming after season three.

Psych - Starrring James Roday as the not-really psychic Shawn Spencer and Dulé Hill as Burton 'Gus' Guster, Shawn's childhood and current friend and partner. Having a natural talent for noticing even the smallest details of the world around him, strongly encouraged by his policeman father Henry (Corbin Bernsen), Shawn has almost everone fooled into thinking he has psychic abilities.
Working for the Santa Barbara Police Department (and anyone else who catches his eye or has the money to pay) Shawn and the reluctant Gus solve crimes through the powers of Shawn's very keen observation.


Law and Order: Criminal Intent takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve the crimes. The squad investigates high-profile cases, usually homicides, such as those involving VIPS, local government officials and employees, the financial industry and the art world. Criminal Intent differs from other series in the “Law & Order” franchise because it gives a great amount of attention to the actions and motives of the criminals, rather than showing (almost exclusively) the police and prosecution’s side of the case. The show stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Chris Noth, Kathryn Erbe, Julianne Nicholson and Eric Bogosian.

House - Dr. Gregory House is the brilliant, sarcastic, antisocial Vicodin addicted anti-hero of the series.CAST: Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) Head of the Department of Diagnostic Medicine, Diagnostician, specializing in infectious diseases and nephrology, Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) Administration: Dean of Medicine; Endocrinology, Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps) Fellow, Diagnostic Medicine; neurology, Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) Department Head: Oncology, Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) Fellow, Diagnostic Medicine; immunologist and Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer)

USA Network, the network that brings you Burn Notice, Psych, Monk and In Plain Sight has launched an all-new CHARACTER ARCADE! Members will be able to create their own gaming profile to play games, make friends with fellow players, track the performance of elite gamers and friends, send direct challenges to rival gamers, and win prizes!

Premiering on USA network, In Plain Sight follows the life of Mary Shannon (played by Mary McCormack) a US Marshall who works with the Witness Protection Unit. While she's out putting her life on the line for the secretive goverment agency her family has no idea what she's actually up to. Tune into USA every Sunday to watch as Mary tries to protect witnesses from dangerous criminals and masterminds.

The show also stars Federick Weller, Lesley Ann Warren and current Dancing with the Stars contestant Cristián de la Fuente .


USA partnered with Big Spaceship (the creators of “The Ultimate Search for Bourne”) to develop WITSEC Confidential, a multi-media campaign that brings the intriguing world of Witness Protection to life by giving each viewer the opportunity to work alongside the lead characters of the show as the newest U.S. Marshal in the Albuquerque WITSEC office.

Each week users/fans will be able to login to the WITSEC Confidential microsite to participate in a new interactive case. Each of these cases will include original video briefings featuring Marshall Mann, and will require monitoring, protecting and in some cases tracking down federal witnesses. To solve these challenges, players will need to use the tools provided, call witnesses and colleagues, and visit a wide range of locations to search for evidence and conduct interviews.

Your friends on Facebook have been placed in the Witness Protection Program courtesy of USA Network's new series, IN PLAIN SIGHT.

How well do you really know your friends on Facebook? Everything you'd ever need to know about them is IN PLAIN SIGHT. The game dynamically pulls information from a friend's profile (any content that is not set to private) and delivers it as "clues" to see how quickly the player can guess the friend's identity. The game consists of 4 rounds with each giving the player less time to guess their friend's identity. You think you know your friend's? Prove it! Click below!

In Plain Sight Review:

USA Network's new show, In Plain Sight, stars Mary McCormack and Fred Weller as U.S. Marshals with the Federal Witness Protection Program. But viewers expecting a typical law or crime procedural may be surprised, as the show is scripted in a serial manner. Storylines are continuous throughout the season, especially those involving Mary and her on-again off-again boyfriend and her younger sister Brandi. This is fortunate for those who have seen the solid, but perhaps noncomprehensive first episode.

In the pilot, Mary came across as a tough, difficult to please chick who is married to her job and frustrated with her surroundings. Her partner Fred seemed like a dork whose verbal aptitude surpassed his physical capabilities (although his intellectual banter is amusing). And in the end, it was Mary alone who put two and two together. Fortunately, later episodes draw more complete pictures of the characters, and viewers will see a softer side of Mary and a tougher, no-nonsense Fred.

McCormack and Weller are solid actors who believably play their roles, and Nichole Hiltz as troubled younger sis Brandi Shannon is an added twist. Chief inspector Stan McQueen provides some humor as Mary and Fred's bumbling boss. The only weak link in the cast is Lesley Ann Warren's turn as Jinx Shannon, Mary and Brandi's practically intolerably annoying mother.

The pilot episode provided a brief sketch of the characters and their roles on the show, but the later episodes should reveal those pesky questions viewers are asking themselves... What will Brandi do with the suitcase, and will Mary discover it? What will happen with Mary's sometimes boyfriend Raphael, played by Cristián de la Fuente? And why does Bobby D keep poppin
