And while I’m thrilled to see strong programming for women, Wives’ presence could have a negative effect on another another female-centered entry: In Plain Sight. The USA Network series, which just debuted on June 1, airs in the exact same time slot as its Lifetime counterpart. Then again, the dueling shows could just mean more eyes focused on cable overall.

Those wishing to catch up on Army Wives can watch the episodes for free thanks to the network’s website. Those wanting commercial-free versions can also check them out via iTunes.
