Comic-Con 2010 Day 1 recap

After some technical difficulties, I'm finally able to give a Comic-Con update. It seems like every year the convention gets more crowded. I know we've talked a lot about the show's possible move, but at this point it's just crazy how packed everything is.

The first part of Day one was spent waiting in line for the USA Network panels to start. Tim and I spent about two and a half hours just waiting. However, once we were inside it was worth wait, as Bruce Campbell was his usual show-stealing self.

It was announced during the panel that Campbell would be starring in a "Burn Notice" prequel movie about Sam's last military mission.

Following "Burn Notice" was "White Collar" making its Comic-Con debut. The panel began with a funny video spoofing the convention and the show's stars' past sci-fi roles.

Then it was time for the funniest hour ever, when the "Psych" panel started with Curt Smith from Tears For Fears singing "Shout" with James Roday and Dule Hill. What followed that was a hilarious hour of behind the scenes stories and a preview of upcoming guest stars.

The panel then ended with tap dancer Jason Samuels Smith and Hill conducting a tap battle that was spectacular.

USA Network's slogan is "Characters Welcome," and Thursday they didn't disappoint as they kicked off Ballroom 20 in spectacular fashion.
