I like how Burn Notice worked the relative lack of violent deaths into the show’s logic. It simply generates too much police attention, which interferes with the work. IIRC, the star has only killed one person, the guy who had just sent his girlfriend to her death, and it was quite necessary to the plot.
I love Burn Notice
Did they kill off Fiona, or was that a previous girl friend? (I'm not up on Burn Notice.)
I watched Burn Notice for the first time yesterday on the marathon event USA televised. I noticed the lack of deaths too and remarked to the wife the producers went out of the way not to build a show around killing. While a bit cheesy and some of the scenes were kind of improbable I kind of liked the show.
I've been checking out Psych too and that show has been growing on me.
