  • confused about character switching

    okay so is there some rule on this show that they can only have one female FBI agent at a time or something? and you'd think they would give SOME explanation on why the other agent left? they did the same thing when they switched to this character in the second episode, and that i get, that theMore actress had another roll or something, but it seems a bit unusual that they would just write a fairly regular character out after an entire season, and have NO explanition as to why they left. dont get me wrong, white collar is one of my favorite shows, it is just a bit annoying when a character in almost every episode, just dissapears and no one addresses it.

  • Marsha Thomason to return

    http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/02/white-collar-marsha-thomason-to-return.html For those of you who remember Marsha Thomason was the junior agent under Burke in the Pilot. Seems she's returning for season 2.

    Kinda like Ocean's 11 hide show

    This is a great crime show, my favorite except for Psych, because it has a little of everything. Neil Caffrey is a criminal that was released from prison because of his mind, which the FBI use to catch fellow criminals like Neil. Peter Burke is his partner, ans is very cautious, unlike Neil. Neil's secret friend Mozzie is hilarious, and helps him on his secret objective on finding who killed his girlfriend. White Collar is a great show, and I hope its reviews are good enough to get it for a third season and more. This is worth watching, for sure.

    I love how White Collar takes crime show to a new level hide show

    This show is a breath of fresh air because it changes the view on other crime shows in a new and exciting way. It is a cross between leverage and CSI. The relationship between Peter (the fed) and Neil (the thief)is an interesting one. They decide to work together to catch criminals or in Neil's case, other criminals. The dynamic of the two characters makes this show enjoyable. White Collar has a lot of potential. And I hope it gets the praise it deserves.I will definitely be watching season 2 when it airs but I hope Neil isn't sad or depressed for long.

    Neal Caffrey gets to see what is life like being on the other them - the good guys. hide show

    Neal Caffrey, pro-criminal, is about to get out off jail legally, but escaped to finad her lost love, Kate. When he gfets there he finds just a bottle. Peter Burke, FBI officer arrests him asgain (he is the only guy who could catch him before). So when Burke has trouble catching a criminal called the Dutchman, Neal offers him his help to find him. And after some negotiations and an ankle tracker, he is an FBI agent. After he catches Dutchman, he becomes a regular. It is a very good show, and is my second favourite police-drama after Bones. 100.

    Think Leverage or Ocean's 11 with a decidedly 'Catch me if you can' twist. hide show

    This is a fabulous and yet surprisingly unknown show. It follows the explots of a former conman/forger/thief (Caffrey) who makes a deal with the FBI agent who caught him (Burke) in order to get released from prison. In exchange for his quasi-freedom (he still ahs an ankle braclet) he helps Burke track down other white collar criminals like himself, often using less than orthodox methods.

    This show is great and I cannot understand why it isn't a bigger hit. It has a great vibe to it and some very interesting plotlines. The casting is spot on and Matthew Bomer and Willie Garson are absolutely perfect for their roles. The dialogue is good and there are some really great charcter developments throughout the first series. All in all this is a terrific new series and I hope season 2 continues to keep up the high standard.

    "Catch Me If You Can" with Ocean's Eleven style, Jeopardy smarts and Tiffani Thiessen - smart and beautiful! hide show

    Smart show that sometimes stretches the edges of believability but always a good story line. The back story is not complex but certainly a mystery. Not that it matters until some point down the road when it will come clear. Until then, meh.

    The ankle bracelet is comical. They don't work that way. But it is good for good plot points when needed.

    Nice to see the early 60's Rat Pack style back in a decent show. I like skinny ties and skinnier lapels. It is interesting to watch the situational ethics of the FBI guys - should we bend the rules to catch a really bad guy. As in what appears to be real life - they often do. Of course, justified by the results. :-0

    Mozzie. Star of the show. Nuff said.

    Overall, I enjoy this show very much on many levels. I hope they break new ground....and don't try to keep a one race pony running too long...
