Wednesday TV Picks: 'Royal Pains' on USA
TV picks for Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012, include "Royal Pains" on USA; "NY Med" on ABC; and "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery.
'Royal Pains'
It's the fourth season for this quirky medical drama starring Mark Feuerstein (second from left, at right) as Hank Lawson, a "doctor for hire" for the residents of the Hamptons. The show is light and breezy — perfect viewing for a late-summer evening. 9 p.m. Wednesday on USA (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
