Burn Notice

0628_ENT_TIVOS_Burn20Notice_F.jpg

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810788/

New show on the USA Network showing at 10pm on Thursdays.

Michael Westen is a former CIA operative who wakes up in Miami one day with no idea how he got there. He finds out that a "Burn Notice" has been put out on him, cutting him off from CIA. As long as he stays in Miami, he'll be safe, other wise he will be hunted down. Stuck in Miami, he searches of answers as to who burned him and why, and acts as an operative for hire to pay the bills. He's not completely alone however. Joining him is an old FBI friend (Played by Bruce Campbell) who helps and spys on him at the same time, his Ex-IRA Ex-girlfriend, and of course, him Mother. Think a modern A-team. There's gadgets, gun fights, humor, babes in bikinis, and Bruce Campbell playing a washed up ladies man.

I've cought most of the 6 episodes so far, and it is not bad. Quirky and fun.

Anyone else watching this?

    I was working at the Starbucks HQ building in Seattle, which is huge. We had Bruce come in to one of our conference rooms to answer questions and tell stories about the writing of his then-at the time-new, book, and after it was over we got to walk by and get autographs or ask questions or whatever. I challenged him to arm wrestling. He did let me win though. Either he let me win or the dude has no muscle.

    The show seems pretty good, but every time I watch an episode from the very beginning I get about 30 minutes through the episode and go "wait, this is still going? Why haven't they finished the story arc for this episode already?" so either I'm extremely addicted to 30 minute episode-based shows or I lose suspension of disbelief every time after it goes on for so long...

    GO FASTER!

    This show has been renewed for another season.

    A show that prominently features Bruce Campbell and does not get canceled within a season?

    Suspicious.

    Bruce plays a lovable skeezeball, and they avoid doing the clichéd "bumbling old spy" bit and actually made him proficient when he needs to be.

    The only thing I don't care for is when they freeze the camera for action parts or sometimes for no reason at all. It's annoying.

    I like it. It adds some style to the camera work.
