Numb3rs is another one - This story stars Charles "Charlie" Eppes, the professor of mathematics at CalSci (pseudo-CalTech). He assists his brother Don at the FBI to solve crimes using his math knowledge. The first two episodes were based on real cases. Don't worry, you don't need to know any math to understand the show. he show focuses equally on the relationships among Charlie, Don, and their father, Alan Eppes and on the brothers' efforts to fight crime, normally in Los Angeles.
Perception is another one you can try, I'm not a huge fan, though I know others who are. Dr. Daniel Pierce (the main focus) is a talented but eccentric neuropsychiatrist, is enlisted by the FBI to assist in solving some of its most complex cases in Chicago. Dr. Pierce works closely with Special Agent Kate Moretti, a former student who recruited him to work with the FBI.
There is one more I will give you but it's not a police show. It is from the same channel that did White Collar and many many many people compare them so if you liked White Collar, you will probably like this one too. It's called Suits. The series is set at Pearson Hardman, a fictitious law firm in New York City. Mike, once a college scholarship recipient and on his way to becoming a law student at Harvard University, was kicked out of college for selling the answers to a math test he had memorized, ruining his chances of attending law school. Mike instead makes a living as a bicycle messenger, and is convinced by his friend, Trevor, to take part in a marijuana deal. The deal happens to be a sting operation which Mike astutely discovers and narrowly avoids, instead stumbling into a job interview with Harvey, a lawyer at Pearson Hardman and arguably the "best closer in New York City". Having recently made partner, Harvey must now hire a Harvard-educated lawyer as an associate, as per firm policy. Using his eidetic memory and knowledge of the law, Mike proves to Harvey that he is undoubtedly the best candidate for the position and is subsequently hired, despite neither having a college degree nor attending Harvard. The series focuses on Mike and Harvey as they try cases for the firm while maintaining Mike's secret. See the similarity?
Psyc, Numb3rs, Perception and Suits are all suitable for teens, that's when I started watching most of them. Enjoy!

I absolutely love White Collar! Is there a FBI/Police Officer/etc. show like it, that has a cute and smart main character? My 2nd favorite show is Chicago PD, but I love how White Collar is more focused on Neal, rather than five other characters all at once.
Thank you!
Oh yeah- and please only list shows that are appropriate for teens My mom's pretty strict about that. Thanks
