Burn Notice

[Bodhi]

anybody on here watch this show besides me...Its on USA on thursday nights at 10 pm..its in its second season and everyone I tell to watch it winds up loving it.  Its very well done.

[Hammy]

I've been tempted to check it out since I heard Bruce "Boomstick" Campbell is in it.

What's the general gist of the show?

[w.axl.rose]

ive been watching it since it first started. its a shame there's only 2 episodes left though   



(He's been blacklisted as a spy and dumped in his Miami hometown with no money or resources to his name, Michael works as a freelance spy/private investigator to fund his investigation into who burned him and why.)

I say its a great show. Entertaining action and some great comedy moments mixed it.

I tell people all the time its Mcgyver meets the A-team. Because it has Mcgyver style moments and each week is a team of people helping someone out in Miami, while he continues to find out who burned him and why. I definetly recommend renting(if thats available for you) or buying season one.

2 episodes in season 2 right? I mean it hasn't been cancelled and the ratings have been good. Well at least the ratings were good when the second season premiered. Its a great show.

I also remember reading somewhere that the show is going the way of other usa shows by doing a short season in july and another in january.

i think thats what they are doing...i work for USA but I havent heard anything about what they are doing with it..its one of their highest rated shows so I wouldnt be surprised if they start splitting up the seasons...so far every episode has been good IMO..thats hard to find these days

[w.axl.rose]

yeah high times only two left in the season. maybe season 3 it will get its 20+ episodes.

Yeah I am a big fan of THE Bruce Campbell myself and thought the same thing. How prominent of a role does he have? He's like a sidekick right?

He's a co-star that shares substantial screen time. He has been on every episode thus far and he does play a "side-kick" role. I'm a fan of Campbell and he's doin great in Burn Notice.

USA?  I swear I thought you said you worked for (MS?)NBC at some point.

Anyway, USA has some good shows.  My wife and I are faithful "Monk" watchers, which is a great show and is also nice because it doesn't match up with the network schedule of new episodes in the fall-spring, with nothing all summer.

I work for NBC Universal...so I do work for USA, Sci Fi, CNBC, MSNBC,Bravo, and all the other ones that NBC owns....I am a faithful Monk watcher as well....Burn Notice is a great show though...that and Monk are my two favorites...

Gotcha.  I always forget which network parents USA.  For some reason, I was thinking ABC. 

Didn't know that Sci-Fi was under the same umbrella.  Odd that the people who brought you the West Wing are also backing all those crappy B movies about mythical beasts on the loose.

its both hilarious and scary that those shows actually pull in decent ratings...i dont know who is watching them but apparently someone is...

[bigcash2002]

Cable hits "Burn Notice," "Royal Pains" renewed

By Nellie Andreeva Nellie Andreeva ? Wed Jul 29, 3:15 am ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) ? The summer's hottest cable series will be back. Sources said that USA Network has renewed its flagship action drama, "Burn Notice," and breakout freshman hit "Royal Pains."

The pickups come amid another sizzling summer for the basic cable network, which is wrapping up July as cable's most-watched network, finishing first in the second-quarter ratings race.

The Thursday combo of "Burn" and "Pains" has been the main driver of USA's ratings surge, with all fresh episodes of the series landing in the top 20 programs on ad-supported cable for the month.

On July 9, new episodes of "Burn" and "Pains" drew 7.1 million and 7.3 million viewers, respectively.

"Burn," starring Jeffrey Donovan, is being picked up for a fourth season. The show it helped launch, the Mark Feuerstein-starring medical soap "Pains," is being renewed.

I know, that is insane to me.  No exaggeration, "Royal Pains" just might be the worst show to ever be put on on television.  "Note to self, become a doctor"...ugh

Haven't seen it, but I have seen the previews...and hasn't that guy used that same "note to self" bit in other movies?  I could swear he does it in "40 Days and 40 Nights".
