_Psych_ has been moved to Wednesdays, and _White Collar_ to Tuesdays. With the loss of _Monk_, they’re dismantling Friday nights entirely.

WTF? I like USA’s Friday nights. It lets me have a fully stocked DVR with plenty to watch on saturdays

Can’t happen soon enough. I hate this TV dead zone we are in right now–most of my favorite shows are on hiatus.

Most hour long shows on cable have fairly short seasons.

Yeah, seasons are really short these days. But I’d rather have a short season of great shows than a long season of crap.

+1

Cable shows are generally better and the 12-13 episode seasons they run cut out a lot of filler.

Agreed and Burn Notice is definitely quality. Keep in mind this isn’t a full season, this is the second half of Season 3. The show is also going to be on Thursdays now, so that’s a good change. Thursday is easily the best night on TV IMO.

Hasn’t _Burn Notice_ always been on Thursdays?
