Mmm, candy

I said to my mom the other day that one could watch White Collar with the sound down and enjoy it just as much. :-)
Actually, that's not strictly true. While Neal's surpassing gorgeousness is certainly an attraction (and Peter's not bad-looking either -- it's just his misfortune to have to stand next to a Greek god all the time), I enjoy the stories too. And the characters, and the relationships, and the dialogue, and the locations! And the fedora. It's not as good as Psych, but in many respects it's just the kind of show I like: fun and snappy and with just enough drama mixed in to keep things exciting. It's brain candy as well as eye candy. And sometimes -- especially now that most TV seems to be all about the angst -- a little candy is just what the doctor ordered.
(Using a Psych icon because I haven't yet found a White Collar icon that I really love.)
