I wanted to see if we have any Burn Notice fans here. It's one of my favorite shows and is currently in its 4th season. Anyone else watch this show regularly?
For those of you who don't know about Burn Notice, it's about a spy named Michael Westen who's on a mission to find out who "burned" him. A burned spy has no official record of ever existing, so he relies on his ex girlfriend Fiona (who was an IRA operative and an explosions expert), and an old Navy SEAL buddy Sam, to help. Each week they take on a client who enlists the team to solve a problem.
The show sort of reminds me of a cross between the A-Team, and MacGyver... only with a better wardrobe.

Burn Notice is one of the most awesome shows on television. Lots of fun to watch, plus it has Bruce Campbell.
And honestly, what more does a TV show need?

Its a cool show. I watch it casually, as in I haven't seen every episode. My wife LOVES it though, so I usually watch it with her and I can dig it. I also like the creator's new show "The Good Guys". You can tell it is from the same people.

Awesome. You gotta love Bruce Campbell and Sam is a great character.
On a Whedony note, Navi Rawat is doing some episodes of Burn Notice. She played Dana the crazed slayer on Angel. (A silly Jellymoff fact-she is one of two Angelverse actors that I have had dinner with)

Did not know this till now, but wow! I think it's a great idea. Sam's history has always been a murky area and this would be a great way to fill in his history. I'd like to know where Sam came up with the Chuck Finley alias, which I hope would be covered in the movie. Ah, I would have loved to be at that panel when he threw out those Chuck Finley tees. On a Whedony note, Navi Rawat is doing some episodes of Burn Notice. She played Dana the crazed slayer on Angel. (A silly Jellymoff fact-she is one of two Angelverse actors that I have had dinner with) Yes, I noticed her on the show too! I recognized her face but didn't make the connection at first. Her character is insane and I hope they bring her back. I loved her chemistry with Coby Bell (Jesse). On that note, how does everyone feel about Jesse becoming a re-occuring character? I used to watch Coby Bell in Third Watch, so I'm familiar with his work. Really cool to see him doing more comedy now. Also, Jellymoff, if you don't mind me asking how did you end up having dinner with Navi Rawat? And who was the other Angelverse actor? So cool. ;D

^^^^
Still not sure that I am sold on Jesse, but he's growing on me.
To answer your other question, Navi grew up with my wife's good friend, so we met her for dinner and Navi was there as well. The other Angelverse actor was Heather Stephens. She played Shari in the episode "She" (unfortunatly one of the most hated eps of all time). Heather lived in the same apartment building as me for a number of years. Her and my wife grew up together in Maine, and when we moved to LA, they reconnected and she helped us get the apartment.

I love Navi's character, and that's a really cool story.
Not so much a fan of Jesse yet. I've never been a big fan of the arrogant newbie archetype characters, though.

Jellymoff- that's so cool. What a small world, huh? I wasn't sold on Jesse at first but now I'm liking him a lot. I had issues with bringing a new person into this unit that I've grown so accustomed to, but he's proving he can be a worthy ally and also a bit of a loose cannon which keeps it interesting. What are your feelings about how they left the last episode? Do you think Michael really cares more about the idea of people than the people in his life (so says Fiona)? Oh, some kind soul put the Burn Notice panel on youtube. Huzzah.
