USA is launching its summer slate and we’ve got a three-minute look at the network’s new show Necessary Roughness. The show stars Callie Thorne as the therapist to a football team and premieres Wednesday, June 29 (check out its poster here). Here’s a key scene where the shrink gets hired to try and save the team:

    I was part of a test group that saw this back in January. Very cute show. Glad that it made it.

    Gotta bring Scott Bacula and Kathy Ireland in for cameos. Heck, bring Sinbad in, too. He could use the work.

      I too had my fingers tightly crossed in the hopes that this was a spin off of the classic 1991 Sinbad film. What a disappointment.

    When I first heard that this show and Suits were launching I though that this had the stronger premise, but after those debonair commercials, I was thinking the opposite.
    Now watching this I’m glad to have my faith restored, and wish USA would show some better clips!

    Callie Thorne was awesome as the sociopath Natalie in “Burn Notice”. So glad she got her own show. I hope the writers do her justice!

    First time viewing “Necessary Roughness” 7/20/20ll (tonight)and half way through the coach used God’s name with damn;therefore that ruined what I thought was an interesting show up until then.
    You have also allowed profanity on other shows that would be good if it were not for that. As a Christian, I will not view shows that use profanity.
