What does "Characters Welcome" mean, when they advertise a TV show?

I hear this phrase almost every time a program is advertised, on certain networks, and I'm curious, as to just what this means! ~ Are they requesting certain people to watch, or, are they seeking participants?
Guess I'm just stupid, or something, because, even with an answer, I still do not know what this phrase means!
So, they're not really welcoming anyone? ~ Duh???
 
That's USA Networks' slogan "Characters Welcome". It's in reference to their tv shows. For example, Monk is a character, the guys from Psych are characters, etc. It's just a gimmick to get you to remember the network so you'll watch their shows.
