Its like McGuyver and 24 wrapped in one sexy package.

Season 1 on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/burn-notice

Bruce Campbell is in it!

I'll watch the first episode. I heard Bruce is like 300 pounds in this.

He's also as snarky as evar!

But all the characters are pretty sweet in this series. The comical tone of it all is just perfect.

First episode was pretty good.

I heard good things about Dexter also, but that isn't on Hulu. Can you see the first episode of that anywhere online?

Dexter = absolutely brilliant; don't watch the regular broadcast versions though, as they've been edited for language and gore. Show is about serial killers. No gore. WTF?

Burn Notice is tremendously fun; the dynamic between Michael and his girlfriend and Bruce Campbell makes up for what tends to be fairly formulaic story structure. I thought it was going to be a ripoff of Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones, but it's more like The A-Team meets Miami Vice.

I did like Burn Notice, isn't Season 2 supposed to start soon?

That site is busted. It won't let me download videos.

Go to the homepage and click that NinjaVideo Helper Beta thing, then wait for it to say ONLINE, then go back to the Dexter page and click an episode... it's really glitchy.

It's a really fun show but you never feel dirty for watching it. I can't wait for the second season

yeah, I think July 10 but you probably need to watch at least the second half of the first season for the second season to make sense.

After watching 3 episodes and now into the 4th of Burn Notice, this really reminds me of a video game. What other place would you walk into a room, get a mission objective, then go to take care of it only to return for another one after it is done? This is basically GTA4.

LOL.

Well, there are less cheesy accents. And Michael rarely stops off to get fresh bulletproof vests prior to a base defense mission.

After watching all of Season 1, I can safely say that this show is awesome. It actually made me regret avoiding TV shows for the past few years. I can't wait until season 2, which is apparently in 9 days.

Yep. I also love that this series is a "Summertime" series. Great way to bridge to the Fall

TV Shows.app is telling me that Burn Notice is airing again. Anyone keeping up with it? iTunes Music Store has the last two eps of Season 1 for free download; it was a cliffhanger...

cool breeze · « **Reply #16 on:** July 23, 2008, 10:17:28 PM »

I saw the first episode of season 2, I have the second episode bookmarked on hulu. Gotta get around to watching it.

Burn Notice

We only just got the first episode in Australia a few days ago, and it is indeed kick ass. I only caught it by chance because from the ads I figured it was just another boring cop show.

I'm glad I caught it. 95% of new shows suck so this was a surprise.

Robo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:05:29 AM »

This show is fucking fantastic. Today's episode was hilarious -- a few great new characters and Donovan's best cover character yet.

The new episode was pretty good. The turn around was awesome.

Love this show. Watching Season 2 Episode 7 now!

Yeah, that really was his best character.

someone on GAF made this:

Bumping a four year old thread to post a picture of a nutsack. Frankly, I don't see anything wrong with that.

FFFUUU... Sorry!

JWZ was hosting it, I tried to re-host from web, failed. Thanks to my cache, the preview didn't show the problem. Fixed now.
