"White Collar" starring Tiffani Thiessen, Matt Bomer, and Tim DeKay premieres tonight at 10pm on USA
The prediction that TV was fading into the fog of yesteryear as a medium seems to not be true (for the moment). Overall viewership of TV is up by 4% and the departure of the coveted 18-49 demographic seems to have been arrested. The Hollywood Reporter offers a breakdown, network by network.

Let's hope that the Angels disrupt programming for a few more days at least! In the meantime we have a lot of choices tonight but definitely check out "White Collar" (after watching our interviews from earlier this morning). Tonight also marks the final segment of IFC's excellent Monty Python documentary - a very worthy 6 hours of TV it was. Saturday looks bleak and Sunday has its usual too-much good stuff, too-little-time traffic jam. Have a great weekend! As usual, we appreciate your comments and please check out the full listings.
