As soon as you mentioned White Collar, I realized: Undercovers should have been on USA! D: Networks like that are more welcoming of lighter fare, and much more forgiving of a smaller-but-devoted following. And meanwhile, networks like NBC are looking for the Next Big Thing, and are quick to ax anything that they feel falls short.
And yeah, I'm sure a couple bigwigs did decide that the show wasn't "accessible" because of the two POC leads.* UGH. ;;
*Then again, the same problem might have applied on USA, but they wouldn't be able to hide behind excuses very well for the reasons listed above.
