For USA Network, there never really is an off-season. While summer is often rerun season on many major networks, USA has that rare model where there's always something a full, fresh lineup. Sure, it's a wrap on the latest season of "Psych" and the final round nears for "In Plain Sight", and it feels like just yesterday that the third season of "White Collar" finished up.

For the foreseeable future, Dame Maggie Smith is going nowhere. Despite reports otherwise, the esteemed British actress' representatives deny she's asked that "Downton Abbey" writers write her Dowager Countess Viola Grantham a graceful exit for the recent hit's coming third season, The New York Daily News reports this morning.

True, many believe that FOX's acclaimed Hugh Laurie drama "House" has run its tank dry after eight seasons, the current one being the last. For all those who agree that eight has been enough, there will be plenty who just have a little trouble grasping FOX Monday nights without "House". The network and Ubisoft apparently gave that a little thought and on Tuesday, launched the "House M.D.: Critical Cases" Facebook game.

Throw Howard Stern into any given mix, and controversy comes standard with the finished product. There's sometimes just no telling how the kerfuffle comes packaged. Stern has been talking up his upcoming gig as the latest "America's Got Talent" judge on his Sirius XM radio show at a non-stop clip.
