I was going to say Prize Pack Royale with Cheese, but that doesn’t make much sense, now does it?  Anywho friends, Royal Pains is a new USA original that follows Hank Larson, a young doctor who becomes a “doctor for hire” to the rich and infamous of the Hamptons.  Kind of like Michael from Burn Notice but instead of smashing your face and blowing up your car, he fixes your kidneys.

In all honesty, USA is batting like .900 in original series, so no matter what this show was about, it would be worth checking out.  If you’re a fan of doctoral procedurals (who isn’t?) and well dressed men being witty (again, who isn’t?) this show might be right up your alley.  Plus, we’re going to hook you up with some seriously sweet goods.  There will be one grand prize winner and one first prize winner, and these packs will rock your sandals off.  Before the goodies though, I’m obligated to spew some copy your way:

USA will launch the 75-minute limited commercial premiere of ROYAL PAINS, the network’s newest original scripted series, on Thursday, June 4 at 10/9c immediately following the Season 3 premiere of BURN NOTICE at its new timeslot 9/8c.

ROYAL PAINS stars Mark Feuerstein  as  Hank Lawson, a young E.R. doctor who, after being wrongly blamed for a patient’s death, moves to the Hamptons and becomes the reluctant “doctor for hire” to the rich and famous. When the attractive administrator of the local hospital asks him to treat the town’s less fortunate, he finds himself walking the line between doing well for himself and doing good for others. The series also stars Paulo Costanzo, Jill Flint and Reshma Shetty.

    Seeing that I'm old school, my favorite TV doctor is still Quincy. The show lives fondly on in my memory.

    Strangest medical case? In a "real life" show? I have never watched CSI or Law & Order or any of the spate of "real life" dramas airing now so I'm a little lost on current "weird trends."

    Since you didn't specify I'm going to "bend" the rules and go with what I know. I could come up with about a dozen weird things from Farscape. Any reason for them to create a new puppet seemed to be their modus operandi. (Zhan being a plant and NOT needing sunlight, but meat to survive? How is that for convoluted medical logic. No wonder I seem to kill all my house plants. <heh>)

    Since you didn't specify, I'm going with the Princess Bride's "mostly dead." Billy Crystal's ad lib was brilliant and even if the rest of the film had been terrible (Which of course it wasn't, it's one of my favorties) it still would have been worth the price of admission just for that scene alone.
