USA is giving "Burn Notice" and "Royal Pains" their longest seasons yet.

Both series are set to run 18 episodes this season with their summer finales (after 12 episodes) set for Thursday, August 26. Each will then return in the winter for their six remaining installments.

In addition, USA has provided the details behind its decision to wrap "In Plain Sight's" third season after 13 episodes:
 
"John McNamara, executive producer and showrunner of USA Network's IN PLAIN SIGHT, took a leave of absence for medical reasons," producer Universal Cable Productions said in a statement released to the site exclusively. "John Romano assumed executive producer responsibilities for the remaining episodes. Given the unexpected change, we decided to end the season at a natural spot -- with the surprising cliffhanger of episode 13."

Originally set for 16 installments, the current season will instead conclude Wednesday, June 30 at 10:00/9:00c.

When "Burn Notice" returns Thursday, January 21 for its winter season, the first episode will include a very special guest star Tyne Daly.  Yes you "Cagney and Lacey" fans heard me correctly Tyne and Sharon are reuniting. 

I must admit that I have never watched a minute of "Cagney and Lacey", but I have heard that it was great show and the chemistry between the two was amazing.

 So, I will be tuning in to watch this very special event.  Remember, "Burn Notice" fans  this will be the first of seven new episodes till next summer.

GREAT NEWS FOR "BURN NOTICE",BUT WHAT ABOUT OTHER TV SHOWS

Released by Miss TV Girl

Burn Notice goes out on top. The first half of its third season drew 7.6 million viewers and 2.8 million in the 18-49 demo, making it the top scripted show of the night.

I wish these numbers meant as much to the big three networks, FOX and The CW. If so, maybe tv shows would have a chance to build a following.Watching the non cable tv shows can be very frustrating with how the networks are pulling them after 3 to 6 showings.

I personally have decided not to watch a new show until I know that it has been picked up. Yes, this does cause a backup on the DVR, but why invest your time into something to only have it pulled without a chance to build an audience. I think my real problem is that I still haven't recovered from the cancellation of "Journeyman and "Will Traveler". I mean, could the networks at least commit to wrapping up the storylines. Now, I know the average person probably doesn't get as wrapped up into a tv show as I do, but I want a conclusion and I know that I am not alone..

I think that the networks are starting to catch on that fans aren't willing to commit until we see that the networks are behind the show. This season alone more than half of the cancelled tv shows were allowed to wrap up their storylines before being pulled off of the air and some shows were allowed to return even though the ratings were low,but the fan commitment was high .

I am just finding more stability, commitment, and happiness in my cable television viewing these days.

USA RENEWS "BURN NOTICE" AND "ROYAL PAINS"

Released by Miss TV Girl

The summer's hottest cable series will be back.

USA Network has renewed its flagship action drama "Burn Notice" and breakout freshman hit "Royal Pains." Both series have been picked up for 16 more episodes.

The pickups come amid another sizzling summer for the basic cable network, which is wrapping up July as cable's most-watched network after finishing first during the second-quarter ratings race.

The Thursday combo of "Burn" and "Pains" has been the main reason for USA's ratings surge.

"Burn Notice," starring Jeffrey Donovan, is being picked up for a fourth season. The show it helped launch, the Mark Feuerstein-starring medical soap " RoyalPains," is being renewed for a second turn.
