"I really wanted to turn around and pop off one of those
Columbo questions. You know, the innocuous afterthought that lets the killer know that I know he did it." So goes the voiceover of Mary McCormack (
The West Wing) on USA's new original scripted series,
In Plain Sight, premiering June 1st at 10/9c with a 76-minute episode, followed by 11 one-hour episodes.

Created and written by David Maples (

Army Wives for a second season, and History Channel's second year of
Ice Road Truckers. This is USA's way of giving
In Plain Sight a leg up on the competition -- unless Lifetime moves
Army Wives and History moves
IRT, respectively, to June 1st. Quick, who's going to blink?
