The '''USA Network''' is a cable channel owned by Creator/{{NBC}} Universal (initially it was owned together by Universal and Paramount, but Paramount sold their stake in 1997). Initially debuting as the Madison Square Garden Network from 1977 to 1980 ([[SimilarlyNamedWorks no, not the one that shows the Knicks and Rangers]], although they were staples of the network's early years). Over the years, it has shown a variety of series and events, most notably ''Wrestling/{{WWE}} [[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'', ''Series/{{Monk}}'', ''Series/{{Psych}}'', ''Series/BurnNotice'', the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and U.S. Open tennis. Back in the 80s and early 90's, it was essentially a cable version of a nationally distributed superstation like WGN or TBS back in the day. It showed movies, sitcoms, sports, dramas, cartoons, game shows, court shows, and even small news updates like on the major networks, called USA Updates; these were produced from Philadelphia TV station KYW from as early as 1989 to 1991; after that, All-News Channel, operated by Minnesota-based Hubbard Broadcasting and Viacom, produced the updates, until 2000. They started changing in the mid-90s, dropping the court and game shows and starting to focus more on original productions and off-network reruns, with the slick, CGI-heavy look and 1979 logo dropped in favor of a new, "star" logo, and a look based off a behind-the-scenes look at the fictional "USA Studios". This was replaced in 1999 with a new "flag" logo and flat CGI graphics (they had dropped the cartoons and news updates by this point); that lasted until 2005, when the current logo and look was adopted. Also of note, when millionaire Barry Diller bought Universal's television division in 1998, he re-branded it ''Studios USA'', which continued making the Universal shows for networks, cable and syndication; when Universal bought USA back in 2001 it was renamed back to Universal TV; there were also film and home entertainment divisions (the former created by merging October Films and Gramercy Pictures after he acquired them along with USA, and has since become Focus Features, the latter absorbed into Universal's video division)

One of USA's notable [[AccidentalPun characteristics]] from the early 2000s onward has been their programming choices and their focus on unique characters, which gave the network the [[{{Slogans}} tag line]] ''USA: Characters Welcome'' . They like to make new shows, with unique premises, starring talented but largely unrecognized C- or D-list actors, but with an optimistic edge to their characters who are usually [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerks with Hearts of Gold]] and promoted by the network under a theme known as the "[[http://intersectedlightly.wordpress.com/2010/08/07/usa-networks-blue-skies-theme-is-it-right-for-chuck/ Blue Skies]]" concept. This has worked out pretty well; how many Emmys did ''Series/{{Monk}}'' win again?[[note]]Six[[/note]] It also provides the network with a core concept that is wide-ranging enough that it can have shows with different premises while still successfully avoiding accusations of NetworkDecay (especially since the shows they've been airing since the "Characters Welcome" tagline came in have all been critically and popularly acclaimed). Often, they guest-star HeyItsThatGuy actors from cancelled shows on sister NBC Universal networks SyFy and NBC.
