10 Scenes: White Collar and Covert Affairs Back-to-Back Extravaganza

I'm a sucker for sleuths and spy thrillers, so watching White Collar and Covert Affairs was a natural fit. What I like about the summer season is the intensity isn't as fever pitched as my normal TV fare, but it isn't really too soft on the story. In other words, it's the perfect preparation for more awesomeness in the coming months. Fall Season anyone?

For those who haven't heard of White Collar yet, it stars the ever charming Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay in a buddy cop series that takes on the white collar criminals of New York with the help of conman Bomer. Plus, the show gives the viewers a smorgasbord of dapper suits, art, and sleuthing. Covert Affairs, on the other hand, is a new show with Piper Perabo, who plays a newbie CIA operative, protecting the US from terrorists. You can check out my Covert Affairs TV Profile for a more in depth look of the show. (Darn, I forgot I haven't gotten around to writing that yet! Haha)

On to the meat: For this week's edition of 10 Scenes, let me source it from the two shows from the USA Network, White Collar's Copycat Caffrey (S02E03) and Covert Affairs' South Bound Suarez (S02E03)!

READ ON AFTER THE JUMP! I've also added pictures this time around.

Matt Bomer and Tim Dekay Dance to Ke$ha's Tik Tok

White Collar's Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay were at San Diego for Comic-Con 2010. Aside from the panel they participated in, the pair gave lucky fans signed photos and posters of the show. But the highlight for the two was when they played the Wii's Just Dance 2. They danced to Ke$ha's Tik Tok and I have to say they did a really good job with it. Matt has some groove in his step and seemed so familiar with the song, which makes me wonder whether he's danced to this tune before! Tim, on the other hand, was really intent on nailing those moves. Watch for the kid in the middle of the two stars! He looked like he was about to cry a minute into the game. Was it the song choice?

Watch the clip after the jump! The whole clip is LOL-worthy, don't miss it.

Two New Shows I've Been Excited About

I'm always on the look out for shows that can get me excited and hooked. My criteria are pretty loose, in the sense that I don't dismiss teenybopper shows so easily or the slow pace of a serious conspiracy drama. I've watched Gossip Girl and Lost since their respective pilot episodes! I'd like to think that interesting stories and characters draw me to shows. Aside from watching Pretty Little Liars (Yes, I know I've been remiss with the episode recaps two weeks running now), I've been quite intrigued by AMC's Rubicon and ABC's The Gates.

Just Caught Up at the Right Time / White Collar Season 2 Start Date

I decided to do some counting on how many shows I do follow week in and week out. Last season, the tally totaled 20! But with the end of LOST, Heroes, Flash Forward, and a couple of shows that are delayed due to the health of its leads (i.e. Dexter and Spartacus), there is now more space and time to add new shows to my to-watch-list!!!

(I've included some pictures from White Collar after the cut.)
