Really enjoying this so far, we're only onto episode two of the first season though.

Just read the news: BURN NOTICE returns January 22nd, 2009!

[Joyce Carrington]

Whee! We finally got Burn Notice over here in the lowlands. Just watched the first episode, and enjoyed it very much. Very educative voice-over, too!

I'll be tuning in again next week.

That's great! The second half of season two kicks off in the States on January 22nd. I've been starting to see promos for it. Definitely a nice treat in the middle of winter.

I really enjoy it, I think it combines Bourne with Bond, with a little bit of The Saint.

Word is, they're taking Michael in a slightly darker direction this season. Sounds as if he's a lit-tle ticked off at nearly being exploded to death. That could work for me, so long as we don't lose the humor altogether. You?

I wouldn't mind them mixing it up a bit given how the season ended but they do need to tread carefully on the darker tone. I think they have a very good balance with the humor & action. Plus, Donovan makes this work perfectly with the voice overs he does. I can't see him doing an angry, non-sarcastic, voice over for episodes at a time.

Burn Notice returns tonight!

[Matt_13]

That was a terrific episode; some real strong scenes with Mike and Sam. Looking forward to next week.

The darker tone is very much present, and it was a bit jarring to see Sam and Mike fight. Donovan is a solid actor and balances the intensity and humor well.

[Righty007]

It's getting a little too sappy, IMO.

[MrDraco]

Yeah the marthon was on yesterday i got sucked in...A friend told me about the show and watched five minutes..didn't like it to much but now im renting the first season from hastings.

[Professor Dent]

The season opener was good. The mystery assassin storyline will be interesting to see play out. They seemed to show a lot of overhead establishing shots of Michael's apartment which looks slightly out of place in that neighborhood (not a complaint, just an observation).

[Double-0-7]

It was great having Burn Notice back on the air!

The fight between Mike and Sam was a surprise, but shows how deep their relationship runs. Looks like the Fiona/Mike storyline might heat up, but I thought I saw a spark of interest from Mike's new boss as well.

All in all I thought it was a good way to start the season!

[Bryce (003)]

Yeah....

Damn good.

I'm on the fence about Miss Carla, but Fi getting dumped hurt. Of course, it didn't stop her from her skill with a shotgun. That's why we love Fi...well that and how she looks in a bikini.

"Now it's a simple game of 'Who talks first'. Originally this was achieved by taking two men up in a helicopter and then throwing one out. However, if you don't easily have a helicopter available, a tall building will do."

More trade-craft gospel from Michael.

Love this show.

"Yeah...but I poison all my yoghurt in case you dropped by."

How's the 2nd season going? I've seen some chapters of the first season and I love it. Too bad that when Burn Notice is transmitted in Argentina my mom's using the only TV available in my house .

For Argentinean Burn Notice fans: The 1st season is being tranmsmitted in Telefe (Channel 11) on Sunday night (around 11 pm). It's under the title "Operación Miami" (Operation Miami)

The fight between Mike and Sam was a surprise

WTF?! Are they fighting? Why?

[dodge]

I missed a few eps while my cable was off--including the fight between Michael and Sam. But I've enjoyed the last few weeks immensely. Michaels grittier dark side is a welcome change and isn't overdone, imo. The opening knife fight was bonecrackingly good. I'll look forward to a few more seasons watching this gang.

[jaguar007]

I think all the episides that have been aired on available online.

[Professor Dent]

During the last episode they mentioned that there were only two more episodes left. Seems like it just started back-up again. Good news s the USA website lists that it will be back for Season 3 this summer with a full 16 episodes.

[TheREAL008]

I loved how season 2 ended.

Very cool. Makes you wonder how much longer they can stretch this show.

[Blofeld's Cat]

Damn, I don't know why we Aussies haven't had the opportunity to see the 2nd season yet!? The first season eps were shown only a few weeks after it aired in US.

One of the things I love about BURN NOTICE is the progression of the story over the course of the first two seasons. The question of "Who burned Michael and why?" has been answered. Now the show is entering a new phase, "What is Michael going to do about it?"

BN is contracted for another two seasons. I'd be surprised if it ran much longer than five though. Surely by season five Jeffrey Donovan will be a household name and getting movie deals.

[K1Bond007]

I loved how season 2 ended.

I thought it was kind of anticlimactic to be honest. Not saying it was bad. The first season had a similar-sort of ending and I thought it was cool, but this one was just .. okay.

That bank episode was the best episode of the entire series though. Just a great great episode.

[Professor Dent]

The finale was great. Nice set-up for season three. I don't think the show suffered the typical sophomore slump that plagues a lot of shows. They continued to keep a great balance between action, humor, & story. Michael's mother was not as overused this season as I thought she was in the first season. The voice overs from Michael continue to be one of the best parts of the show. I agree with you K1, the bank episode was the best of the season if not the series.

I'm thrilled by the renewal. And I agree re Donovan--his slightly darker edge this season has shown more of his full potential. His presence is so strong that--as I've complained before--a number of the heavies end up talking just like him--same cadences, tone, etc. Go, Jeff.

Is this show supposed to be good? In a moment of curiosity, I tuned in for a 10-minute stretch. What I saw did not impress. Stylish production, but vapid content. Some pretty outrageous (silly) scenarios (or is that the idea?), and a car-flipping-stunt the likes of which I haven't seen since... well... let's just say that the producers should be looking over their shoulder for an angry-looking, mohawk-sporting, gold-chain-wearing beast of a man that does "pity the fool that would violate infringement rights".

This is rge best thriller show next to 24

Sorry you disliked it. But, imo, it pretends to be no more than what it is--and what it is works fine for me: light and clean, with bounce and verve...and a refreshing absence of "meaningful" social commentary.

Bingo.

The season finale had its highest viewing ever. Sometimes the public gets it right.
