Royal Pains

OK, I think this is going to be a great summer series.

Royal Pains Promo on USA

It stars Mark Feurstein as a "concierge doctor" to the rich in the Hamptons and looks like a lot of fun!

Have any of you all seen the promo for this yet? USA has been airing it during In Plain Sight.

I'm a sucker for all of USA's shows. Psych, In Plain Site, Burn Notice, and Monk are all well written, and great tv, so I'll probably watch it.

I'm in. I love Mark Feurstein and most of USA's shows, so it's a no-brainer for me.

I'm a bit iffy on the premise, but I completely agree that USA has had far more hits than misses, and have been on a hot streak lately (I absolutely love both Burn Notice and In Plain Sight).

And I do like Mark Feurstein. I kinda feel bad for the guy - I think he's adorable, but he hasn't had a whole lot of luck with shows/films.

His little brother is played by Joey's nephew on Joey. It seems cute.

Yes! I loved the guy who plays his little brother... Paulo Costanzo is his name, I believe. I first saw him in "Road Trip" - totally guilty pleasure movie, but I remember having the biggest crush on him in it. He had the driest wit and all the best lines. From the promo, I bet we can expect more of the same from him in this series!

Here is some cool news -- the premiere is going to be an extra-long 75 minutes and have limited commercials leading into Burn Notice.

They did that with In Plain Sight when it premiered last summer (it also ran about 75 minutes) and that seemed to serve them well.

And is it me or does Mark Feuerstein look like he hasn't aged AT ALL. He's still adorable and I swear he looks exactly as I remember him years and years ago in his tv show Conrad Bloom.

Haha, I think you're right - he DOES look good.

I loved him in The West Wing and in What Women Want. I think he's got great leading man potential, for sure.
