Some Spy programs are good for the country and some are bad. But 'Covert Affairs' and Piper Perabo's 'Annie Walker,' well, that was LOVE at first sight! (And very good for USA!) Season 4 of Covert Affairs, now with Hill Harper, starts tonight at 9 p.m. on USA network, DirecTV Channel 242; @CovertAffairs, @PiperPerabo, @TheKariMatchett

'Covert Affairs' and Annie Walker are back tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern, and she's going undercover in Columbia, so we'll break out the good pizza and beer for tonight and tape the MLB All-Star Game for viewing afterwards. 
(Repeat episode is at 12:07 a.m. Eastern.)
We have to have our priorities straight, after all.

Opening credit sequence of NBC-TV's "I SPY" starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby; iconic music composed by Earle Hagen, who won the Emmy Award for it.
The TV spy program we watched when we were young-and-impressionable, wanted the newest and coolest gadgets to fight evil and evil regimes... back before there were blogs that needed careful tending and persuasive and enthusiastic writing.

So our favorite CIA operative, adorable and moxie-filled Annie, went on a combination business trip/vacation to Stockholm in December with her sister Danielle, but no sooner was she out of the terminal at Arlanda when she gets a phone call from Langley saying that there'd been change in plans.


After all sorts of adventures in Stockholm and the archipelago, with some excellent shots of the scenery, Annie winds-up in a crazy shoot-out with an assassin and finally has to tell her sister that she works for the CIA as an operative, had a thing for someone at work who's blind...

Annie Walker's life only gets more complicated tonight on the season premiere of USA's Covert Affairs at 10 p.m. Eastern. Yes, after the season premiere of White Collar, also another favorite of ours, as tonight starts this summer's heated White Collar vs. Rizzoli & Isles battle.

Discerning U.S. TV viewers are giddy at return of 'White Collar' & 'Covert Affairs' Tuesday night; We've always loved Piper Perabo -so should you!

USA Network video: White Collar Season 3 preview



USA Network video: USA Network kicked off its Sizzling Summer with advance public screenings
of six USA series premieres over three nights in NYC.

I'm so envious!
Wish this had taken place down here in South Florida, as this is is how you do PR with some style & panache!

It would be great if someone at Burn Notice, which comes back in July, thought to do something like this for their season premiere at the Hollywood ArtsPark Amphitheater up the street from me on U.S.-1, which just had its grand opening last Friday night.
Just saying...

Discerning U.S. TV viewers positively giddy at return Tuesday night of 'White Collar' and 'Covert Affairs.'
We've missed you all: Annie and Augie (and The Company), Neal, Mozzie and Peter.

In preparation for the season premiere of both shows, USA Network and Sleuth have been running last season's episodes, some of which I watched again for the millionth time late last night and early this morning.
USA Network will re-run the first season of Covert Affairs Tuesday from 6 a.m. -3 p.m.

The season premiere of White Collar is 9 p.m. Eastern, repeating at Midnight, with Covert Affairs at 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.


This is last year's trailer:

Interview with director Rupert Wyatt
http://www.riseoftheplanetoftheapes.com/caesar.html


"Rise" co-star Tyler Labine was brilliant as conspiracy-minded 'big picture' blogger Dave Groves in the South Florida-set ABC-TV sci-fi drama "Invasion," from 2005-06.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460651/
A personal favorite, his clever riffs about pop culture and sociology were the best on TV since the heyday of the Gilmore Girls.

Also great on that show was longtime HBB favorite
Kari Matchett as Dr. Mariel Underlay, where she played the sexy and brainy ex-wife of former CSI:Miami star Eddie Cibrian's Russell Varon, an Everglades Park ranger.

Her role as smart, clever and drop-dead-gorgeous Dr. Mariel Underlay from Homestead, made me a fan of "Invasion" from Pilot 'till its untimely cancellation.
Though my public policy views on immigration run more towards
FAIR's than the Miami Herald's editorial board, she was the only South Florida "alien" I'd ever be happy to roll the red carpet out for.
I loved this show and so did most of my friends!


Obviously, I wasn't the only one to take notice, witness her terrific work in a succession in great roles on
24, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and E.R.

More recently, Matchett has been playing a shrewd CIA administrator who is the wife of a fellow Langley administrator (Peter Gallagher) and the boss of a newbie CIA agent played by the amazing Piper Perabo, in USA Network's breakout-hit from last year, Covert Affairs, which starts up Season 2 on June 7th.



It's a terrific show and is actually fun to watch because of both the clever originality of the writing, the whole secrecy angle, and the amazing Piper Perabo, whom I've always, always, always liked, whether in good films or so-so ones.

And yes, I already know, no need to remind me via emails from Saskatchewan
: Matchett's another of the many drop-dead gorgeous Canadian woman on American TV.
