Burn Notice's second season debuts July 10, 2008.

I know USA Network Originals aren't for everyone. In fact, I have been especially critical of their shows. Monk, for instance. However, I really dig this show. I like the lead, Jeffrey Donovan, as Michael Westen, and the chemistry between he, Gabrielle Anwar ("Fiona"), and, the great, Bruce Campbell ("Sam").

I'm also aware that some people don't like the editing, but I never found it to be detrimental. The stories, while nothing to write home about, are competent and enjoyable. Heck, it's enough to keep me as a fan, and I'm said to be overly-critical of everything. Hahaha...

As for the ending of Season 1, and speculation about his new antagonist... Season 1, Episode 5. I believe the blond, Veronica, Sam meets after he loses the FBI tail is Michael's new trouble. She probably chose to observe Sam's reaction.

I really enjoyed the first seaon of Burn Notice. I do agree that the way the show is edited can be annoying at times but it is a fun show to watch and Bruce Campbell's role is perfect.

I liked season 1 as well, I'll probably keep watching, if I remember.

I can't wait, season 1 was absolutely brilliant.
I gotta pick up the 1st season too...I was hoping that it would show up on Blu-Ray but I guess DVD will have to do.

I've caught two episodes so far (don't know which ones), but I'm sorta diggin it. Seems pretty cool some how.

As you can see by my avatar I'm a huge fan of Burn Notice.

The editing is barely noticeable when you take into account how awesome the show really is.

I've seen all of the episodes multiple times, just picked up the season 1 dvd. Can't wait for July 10th.

I love this show and I have the dvd's, I really like how they broke up commentary tracks. Can't wait for season 2

What's the complaints on the editing?...the show is perfect just the way it is IMO.

I echo the sentiment about the editing. The only grievance I had was one episode that ended with the main character saying "I guess I'll have to get the Camaro" and they did this super cheesy close up of him putting on his sunglasses.

Also, anyone know what sort of suits the main character wears? They are bad ass.

:facepalm: Charger...

:p

i thought the first season was ok...I am really not happy that usa decided to go with this over a show like 4400..(4400 was cancelled so they could spend resources on there newer shows (burn notice, psych etc..)

I too dig the show's style, but have seen complaints about it from places I can't remember.

Also, if anyone needs to watch Season 1, Hulu still has it up.

It's also up on the USA site.

I think his suits are Armani (don't quote me)

I definitely like the fact that the show is based in miami...a show like this in a more dreary setting, no one would have watched, but keeping the show in a place like miami, keeps it light enough that the show wouldnt get bogged down in the darkness of spy thriller...crazily i really needed to go to bed early last night...but i flipped past usa and the finale was on...couldn't turn the tv off. great show.

It's cut poor as shit.

Honestly, LP, when I watch this, it makes me think some intern is editing it. They don't hold onto shots long enough, it's like hyperactive editing. I felt like, nauseous watching it, but being an editor, it's something that's really noticeable to me.

Tricia Helfer joins the cast. Apparently, she's Michael's new trouble. Awesome.

Wee!

Can't wait for it. DLing the first season to re-watch it before Thursday.

Love the show. I've never even had a thought about something being wrong with the editing...weird complaint imo. Really looking forward to the new season starting this week.

The editing didn't bother me the first time I watched the series.
I'll give it a look this time.

Dodge Charger I apologize.....

I just caught the tail end of another episode I never saw before, which when I turned to it had the main character answering the payphone and being forced to run a mile to meet up with a former spy. Seeing as the main action scenes are well done, I thought they were going to show Weston busting ass, but they just show him entering into a rigorous jog. Fiona too, was chased by the ambigious black shirted spy bad guys and entered into a girlish trot. If any of you ever saw the ending to Mission Impossible III, with Cruise's character basically sprinting for half a mile, that sense of speed in that scene was amazing and I thought I was going to see something similar to that.

It seems like it'd be the easiest type scene to shoot, but very few shows or movies get it done right. Miniscule complaint I know.

Regardless, a fun summer show. I hope Season 2 does not try to reinvent the formula too much.

I saw the pilot episode of season 1 today. Very good and very funny.
