Movies and TV Does anybody watch "Burn Notice?" - Page 16

Frankie · 07-16-2007, 07:38 PM

I watched the pilot episode to dismiss it but I've liked all episodes so far. It's a throw back to the PI series of the 70s and 80s like "Rockford Files" with a dash of "McGyver" thrown in. Good show so far. And well written.

What still bothers me a little is they get away with that long of a firework in the middle of the day with no police or at least curious bystander showing up.

Yeah, love the show but there are some things I just have to pretend not to notice so it doesn't bother me. If you were tailing someone you probably wouldn't pick a brand new car that is blue and stands out like crazy either.

That's (the blue fancy car) exactly the comment I made to my wife as we were watching it. I love this show because it's pretty smart. But the two things you and I have mentioned are accepted only in shows like The A-Team and such.

This is what i tell myself everytime i watch a tv show, its TV. Its not real life. There are things that are going to be a bit out there. It happens with EVERY T.V show.

Then i enjoy greatness.

I'm thinking he dies - well at least hoping - the last episode he was toned down just a bit and was a little more palatable but yeah die jessie

When you are a spy, you need rear wheel drive and 300+ horsepower, the 2010 Hyundai Tiburon, see your dealers today!!

I've seen the first one. I'm going to catch up now.

Hydrae · 07-04-2010, 12:07 PM

In the intro Michael says that "bottom line, if you are burned you are going nowhere." Then his new burned buddy, Jesse, goes to the islands with Fiona. Somehow that doesn't add up for me.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 07-04-2010, 12:33 PM

Are they doing a catch-up on the episodes this weekend?

Jesse and Fiona got onto the boat illegally...plus, Jesse wasn't accused of being a psychopathic terrorist the way Michael originally was.

kcxiv · 07-04-2010, 03:30 PM

They also told Michael not to go anywhere. When he made that pipe bomb and sent it to his old handler. Mike told him, i am going to DC. he goes, dont go anywhere Mike, or they will have a manhunt for him.

Plus that guy leaving illegally in the boat.

The one with Burt Reynolds is FUNNAY.

I have DVRed last night's episode, but I have'nt watched it yet. I have to comment, though, about last week's one that I watched a couple of nights ago. I thought it was perhaps the weakest. especially the one complaint that I always have about this show was played up too much. I'm so afraid of the shark when it comes to this show.

kcxiv · 07-23-2010, 04:52 PM

except they have used the exact same formula for every single episode.
