Good Morning, Miami News

With the season coming to an end, it's time to look back at what the last few months in entertainment have taught us.

Good luck, Mark Feuerstein. The actor hasn't caught a break when it comes to headlining his own TV shows, which have included "Conrad Bloom," "3 lbs.," and "Good Morning, Miami." "Royal Pains," a thin, light-hearted medical drama set in the ritzy Hamptons, just may do the trick for him, thanks to a strong lead-in by the superior and popular "Burn ...

You might be sorely tempted, but don't tune out after watching the first few minutes of the new USA network series "Royal Pains," which debuts Thursday at 11 p.m. It opens like umpteen doctor dramas that have gone before.
