Summer TV 2010: What to watch, when to watch it
(USA)
10 of 64
'Burn Notice,' 'Royal Pains'
Premieres: Thursday, June 3, 8 p.m./9 p.m., USA
Why we're watching: Between the sunshine in Miami (on "Burn Notice") and the Hamptons ("Royal Pains"), these shows pretty much define splashy summer television.
We last saw Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) in a holding cell when "Burn Notice" concluded its third season. But the fourth season picks up a few weeks after the finale and Michael is back with Fi (Gabrielle Anwar) and Sam (Bruce Campbell). And as if the show wasn't smokin' hot enough before, Coby Bell ("Third Watch") joins the cast as a counterintelligence expert with ties to Michael's past.
On "Royal Pains," Hank Lawson (Mark Feuerstein) is a doctor for hire, working on rich and bratty clients in the Hamptons to pay the bills, and helps the less fortunate in his free time. Hank learned in the first season finale that his MIA dad had stolen HankMed's funds, and the start of season two will force him to deal with his daddy issues head-on: Henry Winkler has joined the cast in the recurring role of Daddy Lawson.
