White Collar is renewed for season five! \o/

LOL, I was actually expecting it so thoroughly that I hadn't even realized that it wasn't a sure thing yet. It's nice to be fannish about a show that isn't constantly on the cancellation chopping block for a change!

At the same time, I am in the weird position of kinda ... not really wanting it to go very far past season five? I'd much rather watch it go out on a high note than slide into mediocrity and repetition and eventually limp to a miserable conclusion that makes everyone wish it had been cancelled a few seasons ago.

... and then I started to write something here about how "It's not a great show, but it's a fun show", and then realized that I'm tired of feeling like I ought to apologize for liking things that don't adhere to some arbitrary standard of quality. Or, well, not apologize exactly, but I guess that I always feel like I ought to slap on a caveat admitting that I am aware this show I talk about all the time is not actually fantastic, award-winning-quality TV. Yeah, I know that. But I also think there is something slightly messed up about the idea that "good" is an entirely separate thing from "fun and entertaining and makes me happy". Can't "fun and happymaking" also be a kind of "good"?

Anyway - season five! \o/ Here's hoping no sharks are jumped in the making of it.

Oh, and also,
