The Cougar Town star has landed a multi-episode arc on the final season of USA Network’s In Plain Sight, playing a single father who attempts to romance the U.S. Marshal before she crosses paths with her former fiancé Ralph (returning guest star Cristian de la Fuente), per TVGuide.com.
It should be interesting to see how USA is going to make these sitcoms work with their schedule of more action-packed one hour serials. It’s good that they are “expanding the network brand” like the article says. I hope they make these sitcoms at the same quality as the rest of their programming.
Psych, season 6 promo.
Just a few thoughts on this episode…
- I thought Mary’s spiel about people and “rom coms” was so funny, especially with what she says about the movie stars on the movie poster and people hoping they’d get together…
(just thought that was funny. Granted it’s nowhere near rom com status but…)
- I love Stan when he goes into “protective father” mode
- Marshall’s reaction to that hostage simulation…priceless!
- I honestly half expected to Marshall to say something completely different when he said “Mary, I need you to know something…”

I’m particularly attached to this show so when I first heard that there was another showrunner change, I was worried. After watching the season premiere, I’m not as worried as I initially was.
The following was written as I FINALLY saw the season premiere in its entirety. Better late than never, right?
First thing I noticed was the new theme song. I’m not a fan of it, but I figure I’ll grow to like it over the season. I’m glad they acknowledged the whole Faber thing and resolved the storyline quickly and resolutely. And, we meet Marshall’s girlfriend. The moment she stepped out of the car and all happy and perky, I knew. She’s Mary’s complete opposite which is always entertaining to watch (Eleanor and Mary’s back and forth back in the second season).
Mary’s wit is as sharp as ever. Marshall was his usual self with his extensive use of the English lexicon. Brandi and Peter’s storyline was definitely interesting so far. And for the first time in three seasons, I actually liked her character.
Overall, I liked the episode. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the season and seeing where they are taking some of my favorite character.
