USA Network premieres a new series this Friday (October 23rd) at 10 PM: White Collar.
White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay.)
When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his long-lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternate plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals in exchange for his eventual freedom. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.
The premise seems very similar to that of one of our favorite series, It Takes a Thief (1968 to 1970), in which secret agency official Noah Bain (Malachi Throne) keeps master thief Alexander Mundy (Robert Wagner) out of jail as long as he works for the government. "I'm not asking you to spy", Bain tells Mundy, "I'm just asking you to steal." Fancast currently has full episodes from all three seasons of It Takes a Thief available to view. Still not available on DVD, though.
In the meantime, watch a clip from the pilot episode of White Collar, airing this Friday, below:
