New dinosaur!

Suits came back last night, and agree with pretty much everything in Carrie Raisler's review.

Morning Coffee (7/15/13)

Oh hi! Anyone still here? Sorry for the longer-than-planned absence, but I think I'm actually ready to start posting regularly again. Apologies: For the first few days some of these links may be really old, because I bookmarked stuff even when I wasn't posting.

No no no, and also just . . . no.

USA Network Summer Premiere Dates!

USA Network announced some more premiere dates yesterday, and since a few of you have asked, I figured it was time for a roundup:

May 11: Common Law
June 6: Royal Pains & Necessary Roughness
June 14: Burn Notice & Suits
July 10: White Collar & Covert Affairs

Political Animals will premiere in July as well, but does not have an official date yet.

My advance review of Suits!

Curious about the new show Suits? I've got a whole review for you right over here.

"His superpower is his brain."

In preparation for tonight's premiere, I talked to Doug Liman, executive producer of Suits, and he said something that I thought encapsulated what I like about a lot of the characters on USA Network: that they're like superheroes, but their superpowers are their brains. Read about that and his other thoughts on Suits in my piece for TheTelevixen.com.
