I love USA Network. Their original programming is better that a lot of stuff that you see on network television, and a lot of it is new during the traditional downtimes, like summer. Add to that the fact that NBC Universal, USA’s parent company, will be rolling out a 52-week programming schedule, and there should never be a time when you can’t find quality, fresh programming on the network. Now, USA has increased its lineup considerably, ordering up four new shows.

White Collar follows the Frank Abagnale/Catch Me If You Can story, with a con man, captured by the FBI, who puts his expertise to work catching criminals. Continuing in the unusual crime-solvers vein, The Nanny Files deals with a nanny who, in her spare time, I assume, solves crimes. Royal Pains is about a doctor who goes to work for the rich in the Hamptons…seems like Private Practice meets Dirty Sexy Money. Finally, Shirleyville is about a retired war veteran who is elected mayor of his small town…which strikes me as pretty underwhelming.
