So far so familiar. But buried in the premise is a crisp script and Dragnet-with-humor repartee between the two winning leads, backed up by an excellent support cast.

The brisk pace and easygoing chemistry between White Collar's stars, Matt Bomer and Tim DeKay, is something that can't be faked for very long. These guys just seem to work well together.

In terms of the pilot episode and the potential this series has from the start, White Collar is exciting, intelligent, humorous and all around good TV.

The chemistry between Bomer and DeKay is strong, and playing Burke's dogged sense of fairness against Caffrey's "you take what you can get" attitude gives White Collar some amusing tension and just the barest hint of a theme.

If you like a good con artist yarn, enjoy the tone of USA Network's other original programs and can suspend your disbelief a little, you'll really enjoy White Collar.

I didn't leave the White Collar pilot with any great investment in the show, but with an amiable willingness to watch again.
