IN PLAIN SIGHT, USA Network, 10 pm, Sundays

Catch IN PLAIN SIGHT on USA Network. Mary McCormack plays a slightly testy and frequently exhausted US Marshall who coordinates new identities and locations for people in the witness protection program. (The amazingly versatile and engaging Frederic Weller plays her friend and fellow marshall named Marshall, while Paul Ben-Victor is their avuncular boss and DA NCING WITH THE STARS hearthrob Cristian de la Fuente plays Mary's baseball-playing love interest. And Lesley Ann Warren has a recurring role as her Mom, Jinx, a mother who never quite grew up and is more the child than the parent.) The scripts are witty and the story lines engaging, but it is the natural and authentic-feeling performances that carry the day. And Mary McCormack delivers handily. McCormack has been wasted too often as window-dressing (as on THE WEST WING) -- clearly this talented lady is FUNNY and deserving of our attention. (She recently was Tony-nominated as a Teutonic stewardess in the hit revival of BOEING-BOEING.) Once again, Sunday nights at 10 are best spent home in front of the tube!
