Just a Couple of Programming Notes

Fairly Legal, the spirited USA Network show starring Sarah Shahi as San Francisco lawyer-turned-mediator Kate Reed, will begin its second season this coming Friday night, March 16, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. And it appears the original cast will be joined by Australian actor Ryan Johnson playing a bottom-ine-driven attorney, Ben Grogan, who’s hired into the Reed family firm and looks destined to create sparks with the captivating Ms. Shahi’s protagonist--sparks that USA hopes will provoke a ratings boost for this series.

The video clip above previews Fairly Legal’s new season.

And then following Fairly Legal, at 10 p.m. and also on USA, will be the fifth--and evidently the final--season premiere of In Plain Sight, starring Mary McCormack as a deputy United States Marshal attached to the Federal Witness Protection Program.

It might be worth sticking around home again on Friday nights.
