Best USA tv series?

    In the spirit of the HBO thread, :) - USA have some terrific shows!....they've really upped their game from the days of Monk and have some quality shows mixed with light tv.

    I suspect Suits might win this, has a hardcore following here, but IMO i think White Collar is the best show, while not as good, Covert Affairs is good fun to watch.

    P.s. - i left out Graceland - not aired yet + Politcal Animals as it's a mini series. No word yet on Fairly Legal S3 renewal.

    This is the USA Network.

    I went with Psych. Just a really fun show. But they do have some good shows. The Psych episode with Freddie Prinze Jr was excellent, not forgetting Dual Spires

    Never thought much of any of the shows USA produced, except Burn Notice, I had some interest in the first series. To be honest, their programming is on par with other network television in the States, and not in a good way. Like the others, their shows are hit or miss, more often miss.

    I've lost all interest in the basic network stations in the states. They seem to release the same old rubbish each year, and some shows that are mildly interesting they seem to cut due to poor ratings. And don't get me started on what they call "Sitcoms" these days. The odd show still keeps my interest, like HIMYM and New Girl, but apart from that I pay little heed on their autumn line-ups.

    The Premium cable stations like HBO, Showtime and AMC are in a league of their own, and majority of their programming is superb and has gained most of my interest.

    Rant over :D

    My mistake I misread it as USA networks, never actually realised USA was a network. :pac: My vote goes with Suits... The list makes far more sense now.......

    Went for "Psych" as it's an under-appreciated show. Not many here anyway seem to watch it.
    The only alternative really was "Burn Notice", which has been going strong. A touch choice there.

    Did "Suits" get better in the second season or is it just people don't really watch "Psych" or "Burn Notice"? Found the leads too cocky in the first season so didn't go into the second.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,564 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Out of them, I watch Psych, White Collar, Royal Pains, Suits and Burn Notice.
    I think order of preference woule be Psych, White Collar and Burn Notice tied, Suits then Royal Pains.

    Agreed, AMC has Mad Men, Breaking Bad and imo The Walking Dead as unbelievably good flagship shows, but beyond that... :o

    Camelot and Party Down have mysteriously vanished from Starz's website alright :D But would still watch them over some of the other tripe shown on TV.

    suits is creaming the competition, 1 vote a piece for White Collar and Covert Affairs, i knew suits would win but i would have expected both of them to compete for second at least, i might throw psych on the old watch list, seeing as its coming in second,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,029 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Political Animals is great and while yes it is mini series I still hope it is renewed

    I find the female leads in Covert Affairs and Fairly Legal very annoying
