TV News: USA Picks Up New Original Scripted Series - "Common Law" 1USA is looking for lightning to strike a third time with its pickup of the original scripted series Common Law, starring Michael Ealy (The Good Wife, Californication), Warren Kole (The Chicago Code, 24) and Jack McGee (The Fighter, Rescue Me). USA has already scored big with its new shows Suits and Necessary Roughness this summer.

Common Law centers on Travis Marks (Ealy) and Wes Mitchell (Kole), two cops with a problem… each other. Wes, a methodical former lawyer with a passion for cars, gardening and his ex-wife, and Travis, a maverick ladies’ man who served time in juvenile hall, can’t stand each other. As partners, they were LAPD’s dream team on the homicide squad but constant bickering got in the way of their work and the two ended up on probation. To revive their flagging professional relationship, their Captain (McGee) sends them to couples therapy to help understand and resolve their conflicts. We soon learn that a successful relationship or partnership doesn’t mean you have to like the same things; you just have to hate the same things.

Sounds to me like this is going to be one funny show that fits perfectly with USA’s branding – Characters Welcome.

Love TV, movies, and books--mostly mysteries, with a good love story thrown in every now and then. I have four adopted dogs who I adore. I love trying new recipes, and enjoy eating what I make. English language perfectionist. Reading in bed, Italian food, warm weather, the beach, all types of games = favs!
