'Burn Notice' goes on a break after next week's episode, but you won't have to wait too long until Michael, Sam and Fiona return for more spy games.

USA just announced its fall premiere dates, and the 'Burn Notice' gang will be back for more adventures in November. The show will head back to conclude its fourth season starting Thu., Nov. 11, one day after 'Psych' returns to the tube with new episodes on Wed., Nov. 10, reports The Live Feed.

USA also announced that 'Royal Pains' and hit series 'White Collar' are both slated to return in January. The cable net's new legal drama, 'Facing Kate,' will also bow early next year.

Richard Dean Anderson is returning to primetime. Sorta. Well, definitely, but not in the show you're thinking. No, not in that one, either.

The 'Stargate-SG 1' and 'MacGyver' star will have a recurring role in the upcoming USA series 'Facing Kate,' according to Fancast.com.

How did USA become basic cable's most popular channel? They found a formula that works, and they stuck with it.

This week sees the season premieres of USA's 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' (Tuesday's debut, introducing a new detective played by Saffron Burrows, marks the beginning of season 9) and 'In Plain Sight' (starting its third season on Wednesday). Both series feature USA doing what it does best: offering quirky crimefighters who nail bad guys even as their own lives are falling apart.

Hey, remember that guy you liked on that show who you thought was going to become a big star but never got the break he deserved? Well, according to the Hollywood Reporter, two of television's "that guys" are finally getting their chance.

Amaury Nolasco, who is probably best known to audiences as Fernando Sucre on 'Prison Break,' and who also has been putting in time on shows like 'Southland' and feature films like the upcoming 'Armored,' will be joining the cast of 'The Quickening,' a new pilot for A&E. He'll be playing the ex-husband of fellow-detective Maggie Bird (Radha Mitchell), who is relegated to deskwork after she develops bipolar disorder.
