Just started watching this show on DVD. I've been pretty impressed so far. Glad to see it renewed.

Yay!! A great show.

[Non-Sequitur]

Damn good show. Seems like the only intelligent shows on TV are on TNT or USA or FX or channels like that.

I cancelled TV months ago but Burn Notice was the only thing decent on TV. Great show and cast. 10x better and a more accurate portrayal of Miami than Miami Vice.

I love the show! Aside from the fact that if all that murder and mayhem were actually taking place on the streets of Florida (cars blowing up by the dozens, automatic rifles firing, c-4 destroying property), Miami would pretty much look like Berlin after the war (it has been a while since I've visited Miami — could be). I like the characters. The relationship between Donovan and Gless is a delight to watch evolve — not so much with Donovan and Anwar. Campbell's smile always makes me smile in return. His character is comfortable.

I actually started watching Burn Notice as a possible replacement now that Jack Bauer is retiring (or at least moving on to movies). I’ve only seen a half dozen episodes or so — a few from Season 3 on USA, and a couple from Season 1 on DVD. All have been very good.

It is quite a bit more lighthearted than some hardcore espionage franchises (like 24) ... but the lead actor makes it work. He’s good at both the serious, and the lighthearted (I don’t think Bauer could do humor).

Looking forward to catching up on the whole series.

Why?

I like an ad they used to run:

“Burn Notice: Just freakin’ kewl”

It is. I’ve watched it from the beginning and always hate when a season break happens.

[TomGuy]

You can watch ‘morning after’ on Hulu.com, I think.

Netflix has a few of the previous seasons available on DVD.

[GeorgeSaden]

It’s kinda of a low-budget James Bond once a week.

I love it.

Give them time. Fi's working on it. A girl can only do so much, considering how little cooperation she gets from Michael at times.

lol

[US Navy Vet]

“Burn Notice” has the patina of an 80’s type TV Series. That's why I like it.

Campbell's smile always makes me smile in return. His character is comfortable.

Sam is nice, but Charles Finley is almost evil.

[Frantzie]

Isn’t Netflix owned by the guy who started Hastings (a Borders type of book store/video chanin)? I think he is a (active) Christian too.

[Malone LaVeigh]

One of my favorite shows.
While I don't care for Gabrielle Anwar's politics, I just love her character Fiona ...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

This show is pretty good. I must say I think that some of the best TV shows the past few years have come from Cable, especially the USA network. I loved Monk and I enjoy watching Psych. The only thing on regular TV I like is NCIS. I don’t really bother with much else and I can’t be tied down to watching TV series anyways. I’ll see them when I see them...

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Ya’ think? I don’t know. I admire Finley’s audacity and lack of self-consciousness when he throws himself into character. You honestly don’t know whether to slap him or laugh outright. It’s hard to hate a nice bad guy. Of course, it can be done, ;-) especially when they’re serious. I’m learning that day by day with our current President. Ooh, did I say that?!? Typing out loud again.

[max americana]

I’ve heard of it. It’s not a liberal show with liberal crap inserted into it like NCIS?

[LibFreeOrDie]

There’s nothing better after a tough day at work than watching stuff go “boom!” on Burn Notice.

And I’m glad Bruce Campbell finally has a steady gig...
