 For my money, the best show on TV right now July 15, 2010
Rev. Pee Kitty (North Atlanta Metro, GA, US)
Burn Notice manages to blend spy thrillers and cinematic action with down-to-earth realism. Michael Westen isn't James Bond or Jason Bourne -- as he says in the very first episode, "Guns make you stupid. Better to fight your wars with duct tape. Duct tape makes you smart," just before he gets past an armored door using a stud finder and a roll of duct tape. Like a cool MacGuyver without the bad hair, Michael wins by out-thinking and out-planning his foes, not just by beating them up and shooting them (though there's plenty of that, too). And his running internal narration fills the audience in on WHY he's doing what he's doing. Yes, you too can turn a cell phone into an audio bug, and here's how!
The cast fits together like a glove and with amazing chemistry. His ex-girlfriend (and former IRA terrorist) Fionna adds impulsiveness and anger to the group, while his ex-military friend Sam (played by the amazing Bruce Campbell) alternates between the voice of reason and a hook for some skirt-chasing humor. The interplay and developing relationship between Michael and his mom (who swings between helping the crew -- sometimes even saving the day -- and being a serious thorn in Michael's side) is realistic and fun to watch. The relationships between all of the characters (but especially the one between Michael and his mom) grow and develop as the series goes on, which is one of the best reasons for watching it.
On each episode, someone comes to the team for help with a problem no one else can take care of (A-Team style). While the group is dealing with that, the overall "season plot" gets advanced a bit. In Season One, Michael is just trying to figure out who burned him and why. In Season Two, Michael is trying to get out from under their thumb. In Season Three, Michael has lost his protection and has deal with "real life" in the form of prying cops and old enemies. In Season Four, Michael has a broader view of what's going on, and is trying to stop a dangerous conspiracy. The "story arc" for each season is always advanced -- sometimes a little, sometimes a lot -- so you never feel like a show was just a throwaway they tossed together.
If you're not into Burn Notice, check it out, Thursdays at 9 on USA. If you are a fan, then what are you waiting for? Get this DVD set! The show is amazing!
Another light hearted romp through espionage, death and danger! July 13, 2010
Edward Rowe
After the set up of Series One and plot development of Series Two, Burn Notice handles the traditionally difficult third series with skill and aplomb mainly due to the skilled acting of the three leads, who manage to deliver their comic lines with skill, but at the same time bring some real depth and sense of danger to their characters. The writers have also developed the plot lines beyond the "lets stop the drug dealer doing bad things" and added some unexpected twists as well as some genuinely interesting supporting characters. Burn Notice remains a genuine and worthwhile addition to the light hearted spy romp genre.
Sizzling HOT! July 11, 2010

Burn Notice is the best show on tv! The adventures of Michael Weston et al. Sharon Gless as Madeline Weston is such perfect casting. I love how they've let her grow over the seasons. I am so hooked on this show. Jeffrey Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar have great chemistry as friends AND as lovers. Bruce Campbell is AWESOME!
Awesome as always!!! July 9, 2010
