30 Days of Television - Day 2/ Day 3
I'm combining #2 & #3 and going straight for...
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
And I'm cheating a little here...
White Collar
White Collar aired last season (the 1st episode of the 2nd season aired last night!!) and it's about an unlikely pairing - a skilled con-artist and the FBI agent who caught him. Together they work to catch other white collar criminals and a friendship of sorts forms. Niel (the thief) works with Peter Burke as a "consultant" in lieu of serving out the remainder of his sentence behind bars. His motivation - the mystery behind the disappearance of his beloved Kate. What they discover together is only the tip of an iceburg that possibly is buried deep within the FBI and who knows where else it might lead.
I love this show because of it's charm and the characters involved. The characters are funny, sincere - the side characters really round out the story and give it depth. Niel may be serving the right side, but he's still a con-man at heart and watching him manipulate his charm to get the information he wants it hilarious. And Peter is always right behind shaking his head when he can't stop him. It's also been a very clean show - USA tends to do things well in that department (though I still can't watch Law & Order as it pushes my squick buttons sometimes).
