Burn Notice

[Vic Mackey 47089]

Has anyone watched this? Almost done with season 5. It's pretty ridiculous at times but it's a fun show. Typical USA show, similar to Suits and White Collar.

[Captainant 27682]

I watched the shit out of Burn Notice while I was in college lol. The episode where Michael pretendeds to be the devil and has Sam and Fiona blowing shit up on cue is one of my favorites

[Pato del Muerto 52531]

Yes when it was first run. I’ll watch anything with Bruce Campbell.

[pops 7005]

It was appointment Tivo watching. Loved it. Sam was great and the mom is really underrated I think as a supporting player. 

[CurlyDumps 4476]

I've never watched it. But I've always meant to, because Bruce Campbell.

[WBT 20635]

I liked it, especially early on when Michael would McGyver shit every episode.

Marty Crane was a good bad guy in the later seasons.

[TOR 5698]

This is a surprisingly good show.  Mike needs a new agent, he carried this show.

 

Gabrielle,  yeah.

The Sam Axe prequel was great. 

 

[Hermanator 7120]

Took me about 3 seasons into it to realize Fiona was the young lady from Scent of a Woman

Sam is the BOMB.

Yep the best character on the show by far. Michael's mom is great, too. Without Sam, this show isn't nearly as good.

One of the stars of Cagney and Lacey, a show about two women cops.  Supposed to be good but I never went back and watched any.

[MissingInAction 25119]

I've been looking for a series to add to the rotation.

Which streaming service is it on?

Hulu is what google just told me

[Vic Mackey 47089]

Yep, Hulu is how I am watching. 

It's a mixture of an overall story arch along with one off missions they do from episode to episode. But it always goes back to the main storyline they have been telling since episode 1.

Burn Notice, Suits, White Collar, all USA shows that are a fun watch. Any other series similar to these worth watching? I got 2 seasons left of Burn Notice.

Monk was awesome. Watched this some years back,

Tried to give Psych a chance and couldn't really get into it which surprised me since I usually love those shows. Might try to give it another chance with fresh eyes.

It's really hit or miss, but worth checking out. It's no Rockford Files.

I love crime/detective shows and want to go back and watch some of the stuff before my time I haven't gotten around to. Rockford Files, Magnum PI, Hill Street Blues, Barnaby Jones. I know some of this stuff didn't age the best but still want to check it out myself and see if it's worth watching. 

As well as Perry Mason. But there's so many episodes of this, seems overwhelming to try and watch with everything else on my list. No idea how this show holds up today. My dad still loves to watch it.

[RPM 26326]

Rockford aged extremely well if cell phones and the internet didn't exist. Con games work best without fact checking.

Magnum is classic Hawai'i and hot women. What's not to like?

Loved this as a kid.  Wonder if it holds up to any degree.  

[kurioster 66]

Great show, watched during its initial run on USA and have re-watched more than once.  Sam Axe is the GOAT.  Some pretty good cameos (Michael B Jordan/Michael Irvin/Burt Reynolds)  as well as recurring characters John C McGinley, Tim Matheson.  

[bernorange 8362]

Burn Notice has it's moments, but I remember while watching later seasons finding it a bit tiresome listening to Micheal whining about things he would have just handled during the first few seasons.  I will say that Danny Trejo gave a command performance of a crime lord / gang boss - scary without being over the top is how I remembered it.

It's surprisingly on Hulu and Disney Plus too, if you happen to have those subs already

Same. It was must watch TV for me and the Mrs. Haven’t watched it since though. Great show.
