USA’s ‘White Collar’ To Get Six-Episode Final Season

[Sherman A1]

One of USA Network‘s signature series, drama White Collar, is poised to wrap its run with a six-episode sixth and final season. There is no official word yet, but I hear the network and series producer Fox TV Studios are finalizing the deal. The size of the order looks like a compromise between a movie/mini-series conclusion USA had been considering and a full-length season, sought by producer FfvS. Season 5 ended with a cliffhanger involving the abduction of Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer). All of USA’s other established series — Monk, Burn Notice (also produced by FtvS), Psych and In Plain Sight — also had received a proper send-off. Moved to fall for the first time since its first season, White Collar got dinged up against in-season competition but rebounded in January when the conclusion of Season 5 averaged 2.8 million viewers in Live+Same Day, up 22% from fall, and 955,000 adults 18-49, up 32%.

Sorry to see this one go, but I think it was ruined using the same overused plot devices seen on so many other shows of late. Repeated "overarching bad guy that is out to get the main character, unresolved father issues and too much focus on characters as opposed to story." Just my thoughts....

2. I was just wondering about WC yesterday.

I was thinking I needed to go to the website and see if there was anything about a new season. I do think that they were running out of ideas, but still liked the cast very much. I 'found' the series on netflix not too long ago, and have worked my way through the seasons, just catching up as this past season started. I'm glad that they will get a proper finish and not leave us hanging. (Now I also have to go check on the status of Longmire, another good one.)

Thanks for this update!!

3. Shoot..I've been catching up & am finishing the borrowed DVDs of Season 4… We just got hooked!

So, now I realize how season 5 ended. Guess I'll see that in re-run and know when it wraps.

The person who lent me her DVDs loves WC, mainly for the "light touch" that isn't overtly ever violent, and of course, the characters, which I admit, grew on me over time.

The only other time I'd seen Mozzie was in the very sinister character of Stephen Spielberg's "Taken" (I loved the mini series and own that DVD set).
