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

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

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
