I did wonder why it was being shown on FOX as it's a USA show - found out from the wiki page that it's a FOX Television Studios production, which explains it.
Anyway, the gist of the show is taken from the official site...
“White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay).
When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He’ll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can’t be found on the right side of the law.”
- I remember the pilot alone was fun... and a great one in every sense of the word: everyone's histories with each other are explained, etc etc.
- Like most shows nowadays, White Collar also has long-ish cold opens. Sometimes not, but rarely.
- I suppose what this show has in common with other shows on TV is the show's protagonist as a "consultant" to some branch of law enforcement, case in point - Psych
, The Mentalist
, Monk
... you get the drift. List goes on.
- The opening credits only finalised in the second season, so you see them working through that this first season.
- Anyone ever wondered what happened to Tiffani Thiessen after Saved By The Bell
? :D
- Never seen Matt Bomer elsewhere before White Collar
, but anyhow - very easy on the eyes.
- Tim DeKay's the guy you see on other TV shows who always plays the father/husband/whoever for years - I think this is the first time I've seen him as a member of a main cast of any show.
So watch it.
