They dominate the cable ratings almost every week, and now USA is adding more shows to its lineup.
The network of Monday Night RAW has four new projects in the works, including The Nanny Files, which is about a nanny who solves crimes (looks like they're adding another quirky detective show to go along with Monk and Psych); White Collar, about a con captured by the FBI who goes on to help them catch other crooks (sounds a lot like Catch Me If You Can); Royal Pains, about an ER doctor who becomes a doctor to the rich in the Hamptons (?); and Shirleyville, about a war veteran who comes home and becomes mayor of his small town.
Who knows if all (or even any) of these shows will actually make it on the air, but it's really great to see some networks actually spending some money on scripted comedies and dramas instead of going the reality and game show route. In total so far, USA has 11 new shows in the works, including a small screen version of the movie Thank You For Smoking.

So no Sci-Fi/Fantasty show to even try and appease scorned 4400 fans? Ugh, whatever.

None of those sound nearly as good as another season of "The 4400".

USA Network has more scripted shows in the pipeline than NBC.
I do wish they would've brought the 4400 back for one last summer, to tie all the plot lines up.

Same goes for "The Dead Zone". At least give the fans of both series a tv-movie each, to wrap everything up...
