I watched the premiere of Trust Me, because I was happy to see Will McCormack back on TV, but I hated it. In a Chicago advertising agency, the plot was all white guys in power (and not even Italian or Polish--in Chicago, mind you--straight WASP), one strident woman trying to break into their club (read: shrewish for "humor"), and all the extras were white. (Well, there was one black guy in the very first scene, but when I went to IMDB afterwards to find out who that unicorn was, he didn't even rate a credit.)

Shortly after that, the ads for White Collar started springing up, with ... two white guys, and I just couldn't go there. I know it's popular on my flist, and I've heard there is one character's wife and one black guy, but the promotions never showed them.
