Screenwriters across the industry are mourning the long-running Warner Bros. Television Workshop, which newly merged studio Warner Bros. Discovery is shutting down after more than 40 years.
“I got my first staff writing gig b/c of the WB Writers Workshop. The reason I can celebrate the release of a trailer for my movie today ties back to this workshop,” tweeted Akela Cooper (class of 2009), who wrote the screenplay for upcoming Blumhouse feature M3GAN (whose trailer has become an instant viral sensation). “It helped kick start so many careers. To see it scrapped in the name of capitalism is infuriating and heartbreaking.”
For more than 40 years, the Warner Bros. writers’ workshop selected up to eight early-career writers (out of more than 2,500 annual submissions) with the immediate goal of staffing them on a Wbtv-produced show and the longer-term goal of establishing their careers in the industry.

Procedurals can fall into a pattern and there’s not too much to differentiate one season from another. That’s why USA’s White Collar continues to be one of the better shows of its kind. It’s not afraid to mix up the chemistry and threaten the harmony that hangs over the success. To mark the Season 4 premiere, USA released the White Collar Season 3 DVD for those who need to catch up and for those diehards who want to ramp up to the new season with a marathon of the best season yet. A major theme this season was all of the major relationships were reset, namely with Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) and his co-workers Peter Burke, Diana Barrigan, and Clinton Jones (Tim DeKay, Marsha Thomason, and Sharif Atkins) or Neal and Mozzie (Willie Garson), while others were just beginning, like Neal and Sara Ellis (Hilarie Burton).

In the penultimate episode of Season 3 of White Collar, Neal (Matt Bomer) and Mozzie (Willie Garson) get scouted to help out Gordon Taylor, an elusive contract con man moved into New York City for his next job and always hires local. He never gets caught and all the men on his jobs get paid, handsomely. The target, Yankee Stadium, and more specifically, a piece of Yankee history, a home run ball hit by The Babe. But Neal has to be careful as his commutation hearing is coming up so he can’t do anything that could end up as ammunition used against him.
But this is White Collar, where everything auspiciously comes together to move the story along. The cons run sexy and smooth and no matter how great of a con man they target, in this case, Taylor, they never seems to be enough chatter amongst thieves that Neal is a C.

This week’s White Collar involves fun terms like “murder” and “corporate espionage.” The chief R&D guy of a tech company dropped dead in the midst of a defense contract bidding war. It’s a suspected homicide, given that the prototype he had on him was also stolen, and Peter’s plan is to go undercover as an accountant during the company’s corporate audit to see what’s going on behind closed doors. After all, he does have an accounting degree. This means tangling with suspicious CEO Marcus Hayes, played by Griffin Dunne (whose last guest appearance was playing the anti-Nate Ford, Starke, in Leverage‘s “The Two Live Crew Job”). This job comes with perks, as he gets a spacious office and a hotel suite with its own baby grand piano.
