Person of Interest, with Jim Caviziel, is also good.
Agreed on Burn Notice.
There’s a shot of a hot chick at least every 5 minutes. Fiona really isn’t too shabby herself, but she could use a few pounds.
“The Professionals” (British, 1977-1983)
Bodie & Doyle were the ones.
Agree with “Turn”. I only watched bits and pieces of it but it was really good and historical. I need to go back in and watch again.
Americans is excellent as well.
It has been accurately pointed out that “Burn Notice” has gratuitous bikini shots but in its defense was set and shot in Miami.
Versailles is still on? Good! I left off at the end of season one and just lost track.
Also, The Americans was a very good series.
My favorites are La Fem Nikita (Peta Wilson version), The Avengers, and my guilty pleasure was Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. I am sure there are others that I have long forgotten.
Sir Alec Guinness plays George Smiley aka Begger Man.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Danger Man/The Prisoner. I always conflate the two shows, although there are those who say I shouldn’t.
I recently watched the series “The Enemy Within” a NBC network series. Watched it on demand. Thought it pretty good.
I Spy
The Prisoner
MI5
Loved the Americans. Wife is Russian ex-pat and I tease her that she is a deep cover spy that failed because she chose me as her target. Also starting to get into Hanna on Amazon Prime. Loved the movie.
Most of them are basically propaganda, making sure we all understand how the intelligence community keeps us safe.
Those kind of programs have sprouted up like mushrooms as the National Security state has exploded.
All part of that silly, “if we could only know what they did” mentality.
But I guess if I had to pick it would be Colonel Flagg from MASH.
The Americans was very good, although I really wanted to see Elizabeth’s face when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Berlin Wall came down. She was such a dead ender.
Turn was great.
Smiley is a personal hero.
It aint 007..
Simcoe was a trip, as was Rogers.
ck later
