Do any of you watch this? Is it good? I'm trying to decide if I want to find some way to catch the pilot and watch the first season to see if it is as interesting as some of the commercials look.

Yes. I think it's very good. I've been a fan of both the leads for a while now and they work well together. It has some of the same stretches of believability that Burn Notice has, but they both follow the same formula - one main threat/job/case per episode, with small movements on the overarching plot scattered within.

Caught some of the White Collar some of the marathon this weekend.  Really digging it.  The leads are solid, if a bit campy at times, but the support characters really shine (Mozzie is a hundred different kinds of awesome, Alex is a hundred different kinds of hot).  It's a good, fun way to waste an hour watching.  Going to pick up season 1 on bluray next time I'm in Best Buy or where ever.

I liked it.

However, my local TV channel kept screwing with the time of episodes, so I've fallen out of watching it.

I like that the agent is smarter than the thief. The thief knows his stuff. He's a master at it. He knows every detail of every job...but in the big picture, out in the real world, the agent is always one step ahead. It's a great dynamic, and a welcome reversal of how these stories usually go.
