America loves a winner!

So far, pretty darn good. It's about a US spy , not real sure from which agency, who gets his pink slip,or burn notice, right during a mission in Nigeria. He makes it out alive, just barely, and ends up in Miami, where his bank accounts are frozen and his credit cards are wiped out. He's forced to take on small time jobs, with the help of his washed out ex-every thing, skirt chasing, drunken buddy ( Bruce Campbell ). An ex girl friend, Fiona, is thrown into the mix, just for fun. She also happens to be an ex IRA operative, among other things. All this while he's trying to find out why he's been fired, and what the Government wants from him. Witty, sexy, funny stuff, and it's got Mr. Campbell!! How awesome is that for summer viewing ? Check it out.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

It's a pretty good show, so far they have been very entertaining.

But Psych is still my favorite USA show.

Just started watching this on Hulu!

This is the most realistic-seeming spy show since Under Cover (1991)!
Most informative voice-overs I've ever heard.
Gotta watch the episodes again, with notepad in hand!

I heart this show, the fight scenes are golden, it's funny, it's thrilling, it's stylish, it's got Brice Campbell- what's not to love?

And this season it has Number 6 from BSG(Tricia Helfer) See if you can spot her.

BTW Michael Weston is CIA.

Burn Notice also has a Firefly/Serenity connection. Nathan Fillion and Tricia Helfer were set up on a blind date and dated for a while.

But he said he didn't directly work in any agency in the first ep- wouldn't that make him covert ops or something? Surely not just standard CIA...

I thought I had heard that he was CIA in one of the episodes. My mistake then.

If he is, he is covert ops. He knows all the tricks of the "trade".

Can you tell I love the voice overs?

I said this over at the AVClub but I'll repeat here for those that don't feel the need to hunt it down. Burn notice is like The A Team written by smart people. Definitely fun to watch although I'm always thinking how good Adam Baldwin would have been in the Westen role; meaning absolutely no disrespect to Jeffrey Donovan who is also quite good.

Don't see what? Adam as Michael? or Burn Notice as a smart A team? or Burn Notice at all?

I love my captain

I don't know about FMF but I don't see Adam as Michael. I'd love to see him do a guest spot on the show (gotta be a baddy) but no one could replace Jeffery Donovan in the role for me. Of course, I've been a fan of his since The Pretender ("I decide who lives or dies!"). I was so pleased when this show came on and was a hit, unlike his previous USA show "Touching Evil". That one started well but got a little lost and didn't make it past the first season or so.

So anyway, Jeffery Donovan, Bruce Campbell (auto bonus for that), witty and intelligent writing. This show rocks! My favorite show on the air right now.

Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

Sorry, do not see Adam as Michael. I see Jeffrey as Michael. I love Adam Baldwin and all the Firfefly crew, but that doesn't mean that I think they are the only actors in the world. I LOVE Burn Notice. It is my NEW FAVORITE show - which of course means it will now be canceled

He was so good in that role. The only bad part was that they killed him off too soon. I really wanted to see more of Jarod fencing or teaming with someone on his level.

That's what I thought you meant. I totally see it though.
