White Collar : Season 1

[Tezcatlipoca]

"White Collar" is a new drama / comedy-drama from the USA Network (part of NBC), the same cable network responsible for "Burn Notice" & "Monk".

It follows con-man "Neal Caffrey" (Matt Bomer, "Bryce Larkin" in "Chuck"), who gets caught escaping from prison, & ends up teaming up with FBI Agent "Peter Burke" (Tim DeKay) to help him solve crimes, rather than go back inside.

Airs on Fridays. Only the pilot has been on so far.


It also features the still-hot Tiffani Thiessen ("Saved by the Bell", "BH 90210"), along with Willie Garson ("Sex and the City").

I watched the pilot, it seems quite promising from what I saw. I look forward to seeing the 2nd episode.

[Tezcatlipoca]

Yeah, I quite enjoyed it. Helps fill the gap left by "Burn Notice" going on a break.

[Tezcatlipoca]

Episode three last week. Still enjoying it :)

Some good guest stars last week:

The always lovely Callie Thorne (Det. Laura Ballard in "Homicide", Elena McNulty in "The Wire", Pam Mahone in "Prison Break)

Kirk Acevedo (Charlie Francis in "Fringe")

John Ventimiglia (Artie Bucco in "The Sopranos" - finally in White Collar he got to play a real mobster, not a whiny chef).

[Tezcatlipoca]

Well... I wasn't expecting that! :shocked:

I think there's something bigger going on. When it showed her at the end I thought it looked a hell of a lot like Elizabeth... I actually thought it was her at first.

Jeff Eastin, the creator of White Collar has tweeted that a second season has been picked up. This is excellent news. :D

Excellent :)


The second half of season 1 returns in January, along with Burn Notice :)

[cimt]

So, the show returned last night and suprisingly the cliffhanger was explained in this episode.

[cimt]

Brave move in the season finale. Although how much did they spend on that bit? It could of been done a lot better. Can't wait for season 2.

[Tezcatlipoca]

Yeah, the explosion looked a bit cheap!


Good finale though. So who was pulling Fowler's strings?!

[cimt]

I think it was someone even higher up than Fowler was. If it wasn't then how would Mentor of being approved?

[Tezcatlipoca]

Yeah, he must have had clout from higher up. I wonder if we'll get an explanation of why the music box was worth so much trouble.

Just started watching this, excellent show. My wife is finding this even more entertaining than I :)
