Last night, USA Network invited some of their favorite advertisers -- and a few reporters -- to their upfront presentation, held at The Modern, a sleek restaurant and lounge located at New York's Museum of Modern Art. It was an opportunity for USA and NBC Universal executives to crow about the network's continued success as well as let advertisers know what's coming up in 2008 and how they can combine their advertising message with the unique "characters" that USA offers.
All that's well and good -- be ready for more product placement and ad pods that other networks have recently adopted -- but the best part about an upfront presentation are the stars that the network drags out to schmooze and booze with those advertisers. And USA brought the big guns, including Tony Shalhoub from
Monk, Debra Messing from
The Starter Wife, Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell from
Burn Notice, Dulé Hill, James Roday, and Corbin Bernsen from
Psych, Kathryn Erbe and Chris Noth from
Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the WWE's Triple H and Shawn Michaels, and Mary McCormack from the network's new show
In Plain Sight. I got to speak to a few of them; audio of those interviews is after the jump.

Unlike Adam, who first reported back in April that Sex and the City was heading to the bigscreen, I have no opinion about the former HBO comedy. I didn't watch the original run on HBO (except the very last episode) and never watch an episode of the watered-down, syndicated version. I also would not like to have children ice skate across my face. Rollerblade across it? Fine. Just not ice skates. Those things hurt!
My non-opinion doesn't stop me from reporting that Chris Noth will be reprising his role as the dashingly rich Mr. Big in the movie adaption of the show.

Best:5.
The Backyardigans A preschoolers' show I'd watch
if I didn't have kids. Yes, when you drove past my house the other day, that was me dancing along to "I love being
a princess!"
4.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent I thought I couldn't watch
the show without Vincent D'Onofrio. But Chris Noth and Annabelle Sciora have the kind of vulnerable-yet-professional
chemistry that I never dreamed possible between Chris and Sarah Jessica Parker or Annabelle and James Gandolfini.
3.
Grey's Anatomy It's kooky, it's outlandish, and all the characters, I can't help
but love 'em despite their annoying peccadilloes. And who knew I'd fall in love with Dr. Bailey?
2.
Medium I'd watch it just for the family drama. But the mysteries are fantastic, the
writing eloquent and witty, the twists always fool me until 52 past the hour.
1.
The
4400 Sci fi that transports, characters that draw me in, and it's coming back in 2006. Hurray!
Worst:5.
Saturday Night Live My husband still gets
excited about Saturday nights. Until I remind him,
honey, it's just not funny!4.
ER I'm so sad that I hate Thursdays now. I used to
love Thursdays.
3.
7:30 p.m. timeslot There's nothing good on at 7:30 p.m., not
even on the Food Network. I hate 7:30 p.m.
2.
Sandra Lee's Semi-homemade Cooking
Make it from scratch or buy it from the store. And either way, aren't we all old enough now to admit whether we can, or
cannot, cook?
