Suits

Now that the Olympics are over, we return to the boring Summer television programming schedule.  During the Fall, the Rodrigues family DVR is working overtime, but during the Summer - only one show has been deemed worthy of a coveted DVR slot and that show is "Suits" on the USA network.

I suppose the show would be classified as a "legal drama," but calling it that wouldn't do justice to the comedic back & forth between main characters Mike Ross & Harvey Specter, not to mention the hilarious interactions with office outsider Louis Litt.

The show has it all: a smooth, successful, charming main character (Harvey), his witty, brilliant, charasmatic protege (Mike), the resentful antagonist (Louis), and of course hot chicks (Rachel & Donna). 

The interplay between Harvey & Mike actually reminds me of my relationship with my boss.  I remember when I was a young guy entering the work force, my boss used mockery (his preferred teaching tool) to advise me on the proper way to dress in the office environment.  Lessons included: don't wear graphic t-shirts under a dress shirt, always button your collar buttons, and most important: always use collar stays to keep the collar lying flat and looking crisp.

While the foundation of the show's plotline is a bit far-fetched (Mike Ross is a genius with a photographic memory, who never actually went to law school, yet works at a top New York law firm), the show has great characters and is highly entertaining.  If you're looking for a fun show, give "Suits" a shot.
