USA Network’s new series, Common Law [Fridays, 10/9C], puts a truly odd new spin of the cop-buddy show – it’s lead characters, Travis Marks and Wes Mitchell, used to be the precinct’s top homicide team – until they got sick of each other. Now, they bicker and brawl over the slightest differences of opinion – leading their new agey boss, Captain Sutton to order them into couples’ therapy!

USA Network’s Common Law [Fridays, 10/9C] stars Michael Ealy [Think Like A Man, Underworld Awakening] as Travis Marks, one half of the best team of detectives in the LAPD. The problem is that the two have let personal differences grow into a problem of epic proportion – so epic, in fact, that their boss has ordered them into couples’ therapy!

I recently took part in a conference call with Ealy, who talked about the challenge of doing a series in which comedy is a huge component – and how much he enjoyed working on the show’s first season.

Ever since In Plain Sight [USA Network, Fridays, 9/8C] premiered, we’ve known that Mary Shannon’s father was a criminal who abandoned his family when she was seven years old. Last week, James Wylie Shannon [Stephen Lang] turned up at Mary’s house in the episode’s final moments – and she promptly arrested him – leading up to a two-part arc for the character.

Earlier this week, Stephen Lang spoke with a group of journalists/bloggers about the unique challenges of playing the senior Shannon. He proved himself to be a gentleman – diplomatically handling technical difficulties and some silly questions with aplomb. He also proved to be intelligent, incisive and witty. It was a thoroughly enjoyable call.

USA Network’s In Plain Sight [Fridays, 10/9C] begins is fifth and final season this week. Will Marshal Marshall Mann and Marshal Mary Shannon get together? How will the decidedly non-maternal Marshal Mary Shannon deal with actually being a mother? What will series stars Mary McCormack and Fred Weller remember most fondly – and what souvenirs are they looking to grab at season’s end?

Earlier this week, Mary and Fred spoke with a group of journalists/bloggers about these questions and so much more.

James Roday and Dule´ Hill aren’t just big fans of Steven Spielberg. Being the stars of USA Network’s Psych [Wednesdays, 10/9C], they also get to play in his sandbox as the series returns with Indian Shawn and the Temple of the Kinda Crappy, Rusty Old Dagger.

Naturally, they had so much fun doing the Indiana Jones homage/spoof that they wanted to talk about it… and anything else that came up [these guys are some kinda gregarious!].

On next week’s mid-season finale of Psych [USA Network, Tuesday, December 14th,10/9C], Shawn and Maggie’s plan to have a nice, quiet spa weekend – and taking their relationship to the level – is derailed by a couple of grifters and a Mafia-related murder.

Jason Priestly plays Clive, one of the grifters, and talked with reporters/bloggers about the experience.
