Several years ago I started watching USA Network TV shows during the summer when I needed to relax in the evenings. I discovered that these TV shows are very entertaining and started watching several of their series regularly. Usually in the summer and mid-winter, there is nothing to watch on TV because all of the shows are having reruns. However, the USA Network TV shows usually run their seasons in the summer and mid-winter, which means there is something fresh to watch. If you are looking for a new TV series to watch, maybe one of these shows will be just thing for the nights you need to unwind.
Royal Pains premiered in June of 2009, and it is a medical drama that puts a different spin on medicine. Mark Feuerstein stars in Royal Pains as Hank Lawson, a concierge doctor. The show is set in the Hamptons, where Hank and his brother, Evan, run Hank Med, the concierge practice. Although the show is a drama, there is a lot of comedy provided by Evan’s various antics. Because most of this show takes place in the Hamptons during the summer, watching it is like a mini summer getaway. Fortunately, the new season will start this summer, so if you are in need of a staycation this is a great show to tune into.
Psych is one of USA Networks most popular series. It is a detective comedy that stars James Roday and Dulé Hill as Shawn Spencer and Burton “Gus” Guster. Shawn and Gus are best friends and partners as crime consultants for the Santa Barbra Police Department. The name of the show comes from Shawn’s observational skills, which are so astute that he appears to be psychic. If you have never seen the show, you should know it is very funny and for the most part family friendly. I know of several families that regularly watch this show together. Perhaps it will become your family’s new favorite show.
White Collar is a crime drama series that airs on the USA Network. It follows the partnership of Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and Special Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) as they investigate high-end white-collar criminals. The show has been nominated for multiple awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. The show has been praised for its witty dialogue and well-crafted plot lines. It has been running since 2009 and is currently in its sixth season.
Relatively new to the USA Network, Graceland is a police drama that first aired in June of 2013. In the show, a group of undercover agents from different law enforcement agencies live together in a Southern California beach house called Graceland. Because each of these agents has an undercover alias, there is a web of lies in the house that gets quite complicated. When a new agent is assigned to live in the house, FBI agent Mike Warren, the relationships in the house became much more complicated and the balance of lies is threatened. If you like complicated plots, you might want to give Graceland a try when its new season begins in the summer.
While I don’t spend hours and hours watching TV, I do like to watch a little TV in the evening to wind down. The USA Network has some great series to watch. There is a great variety, which means there is something for everyone. While Covert Affairs is my favorite show, you might prefer Suits or Graceland. Regardless, there are definitely some good shows to choose from. What TV shows do you like to watch after a tiring day?
