This thread is here to help direct you find what you are looking for/where to post in the Royal Pains forum. There may already be a thread on the topic you want to post on, so please check the topics/links listed here or do a search on the forum first to see if you can post there instead of starting new thread. It just helps to keep the forum more organized & easier to find things
(This is just a start, so I’ll add more to this & add more links later…)

Music Questions:
1st Please see the main RP site: ROYAL PAINS SONG LIST
Usually the songs are listed there after the episode airs, but sometimes it may take a few days.
2nd If you are unable to find the song you want listed there, post here in the forum’s RP Main Music/Songs thread
*Note: you may not be able to find all those specific RP songs online, as sometimes TV shows like RP license many of their songs from a music library.
To help find things easier for all, I've merged all music question posts into the one single main thread on RP Music, so people can ask/answer all in one thread. So your posts haven't be deleted, they have just been moved into that one main thread. I'll try to merge future posts into this thread, so look at the end of that main music thread for them.
Watching RP Episodes online
USANetwork.com (and thusly Hulu.com, fancast.com, imdb.com, etc.) air online, view here: http://www.usanetwork.com/series/royalpains/video/fullep/
Looks like they episodes are only online for about 5 weeks or so. After that, you should look for reruns on USA (sometimes they have marathons, usually leading up to the season opener or finale) or if you want to watch them immediately, you can also buy the episodes on iTunes, Amazon on Demand,etc.

Why aren't there more episodes/why is season so short?
RP S1 has 12 episodes summer 2009
RP has been renewed for a 2nd season, starting in 2010!
Sorry, we don't know what month in 2010 it will start yet, but it will be back in summer 2010.
Pretty much all cable shows have shorter seasons (usually around 16 episodes/per season) than network shows (approx. 22 episodes/per season). For the USA Network, most new series only run 12 episodes their 1st season, then if they get renewed the get bumped up to 15/16 epis for their 2nd season. It's possible the 2nd season of RP might be split into 2, since the USA Network splits some of their seasons up, with half the season airing in summer, the rest in winter, like Burn Notice, Psych, Monk, etc, which is why they might seem shorter. Or perhaps, USA will air all the episodes all in the summer, like they do for In Plain Sight.
This article explains it pretty well: http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/26/cable-tel...edia_cable.html
In the Next Summer?! Thread you can express your frustrations about the wait for S2
You can also pass the time here: Plot Ideas for Season 2 - Be Creative!, Let's amuse ourselves until next Summer!
Season 1 DVD
I'm almost positive there will be a RP Season 1 DVD released. No, sorry, I don't know when. Likely it will be released before Season 2 starts. I'll try to update if I get more info.
My best guess is that the DVD will be released similarly to all of the USA Networks other original shows, and be released the following June/July - so June/July 2010. I'm basing that on the info that all Monk, Psych & Burn Notice DVDs were released in June/July (with the exception of MonkS2 in Jan) the following year after that season aired. In Plain Sight's DVD was released in March the year after their 1st season. The epis can also still be bought on itunes & amazon on demand etc.
Searching the Forum
If you can find here what you are looking for, you can do a Search on the forum. If you click on the "Search" you see listed at the top of the forum, a little box will pop out for you to enter a word in -- this will search the ENTIRE USA network forum (all shows) – it's a bit much, so I would recommend you do your search this way:
1. At the top of the of the forum, Hit SEARCH, then choose "More Search Options"
2. On the new Search screen, enter the keyword you are looking for, select Search Where: Royal Pains Forum, select Result type: either show as topics, or show as posts.
3. Click "Perform search"
Or, look at the bottom of the forum, you'll see a box that says "Search this Forum" & type in your search term there.
About Spoilers
Spoilers are basically posts that indicate plot points of an episode that hasn't yet aired. If you are discussing something that hasn't yet aired on another thread, it's helpful to "hide" your post within spoiler brackets, mainly as a courtesy to those members who do not wish to know about story-lines ahead of time. The spoiler tags can be found when composing your message under the drop down bar that says, "Insert Special Item."

Questions relating to fashion, accessories, sunglasses, watches, and wardrobe in general
You should try asking your questions at the website: http://www.seenon.com which finds fashion featured on TV Shows.
Although they don’t have a specific section for RP yet… if you ask enough questions, they might start one!
There is a section on their site called ShopTalk-AskUs! Where you can post questions.
You can also ask them via their twitter http://twitter.com/seenon or pm SeenOn here on the USA forums.
There is also this section on the main RP site called “Hampton Must-Haves”
Here is the RP Fashion & Accessories Main Thread where you can ask questions & post answers if you know them.
To help find things easier for all, I've merged all fashion/accessories question posts into this one single main thread on RP Fashion, so people can ask/answer all in one thread. So your posts haven't be deleted, they have just been moved into this one main thread. I'll try to merge future posts into this thread, so look at the end of the Fashion thread for them.
