    Ummmm….why are Burn Notice, Castle, White Collar and Hawaii Five O at Comic Con?

  • fernald

    Um, maybe because an audience they're chasing will be there?

  • Flip Maker

    Burn Notice makes sense. Not sure about Castle or White Collar, but based on what I've seen of Hawaii Five O thus far, ugh. Comic-Con is not your fit.

  • Palmer

    Anything with Nathan Fillion automatically gets a free pass to Comic-Con, I assume.

  • Ryan

    Last year, “The Middle” had a panel at Comic-Con, with Patricia Heaton in attendance. To the studios, everything makes sense now, comic-related, sci-fi-related or not. The people who attend Comic-Con are vocal and I think the idea is that they would be vocal about anything. Good word of mouth is priceless.
    Me, personally- I like the somewhat variety of tv shows represented, but I think some programs should share panels. For example, instead of separate panels for Burn Notice and White Collar, USA could have a “Characters Welcome” panel for both (or more). Just a thought.

  • November

    Doctor Who?

    And there should be a LOST panel. Because things will feel weird without one.

  • Dean

    there should be a Lost Therapy panel with a last hurrah for the show and its cast, no?

  • JokerSoze

    I can't wait for the “Walking Dead” panel. I'm also hoping they'll be screening the pilot on preview night.

  • fernald

    Well, I'm going to Comic-Con and I like both Castle & White Collar, so I'm good with it. But Ryan has a valid point too, and a USA panel would be fine too.
