USA is getting really good at this...Rating: 4 likes, 2 dislikes

Is it me or are all of the really good, new, unpretentious shows originating from USA? They have Monk, Psych, Burn Notice, In Plain Sight and now Royal Pains. Yes USA is also responsible for To Love & Die (Don't worry if you've never heard of it) and Dr. Steve-O, but even a diamond can have flaws. Read more

Recaps
5x1: Hankwatch recap: The episode begins with Hank stopping by Hamptons Heritage Hospital to discover the emergency room has been closed.

Evan jokingly suggest Harper take Hank along and all are surprised when Harper agrees. When Hank notices one of the volleyball players, Cameron Krissy, coughing rather severely, he offers his services but is refused. Cameron is trying to turn pro and can't be bothered with a simple cough... read more.

4x13: Something Fishy This Way Comes recap: Evan speaks with Lou (Louise) Hunter, who thinks she may be Paige's birth mother.

When Lou tells Evan that she is an artist, Evan is thoughtful... read more.
