USA’s ROYAL PAINS!!

I have no interest by Jack Black	Jun 4th, 2009 06:05:36 AM
Sorry
The most important question by RenoNevada2000	Jun 4th, 2009 06:23:45 AM
Does it work well as a companion to BURN NOTICE?
NO MORE SHOWS ABOUT DOCTORS!!!! by darthsynn	Jun 4th, 2009 06:38:09 AM
Same goes for lawyers and cops. Are there no other professions in this country worth exploring through television programs?
Thanks, EvilWizardGlick.... by darthsynn	Jun 4th, 2009 07:08:58 AM
I forgot about them. I'm also tired of shows about quirky single women who can't find Mr. Right.
BURN NOTICE FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!! by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 07:37:31 AM
Don't know if I'll watch Royal Pains or not, may give it a spin tonight.
I'm so happy that Burn Notice is back by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 07:44:15 AM
I'm going to randomly post BURN NOTICE! all over the site today.

Burn Notice by Xiphos_2	Jun 4th, 2009 08:02:45 AM
I've been catching up on Burn Notice the last couple of days with the Marathon USA has been running. Gotta say, this show is a blast.
Burn Notice by KazamaSmokers	Jun 4th, 2009 08:07:25 AM
Damn but Gabrielle Anwar is sexy.
Burn Notice by Rob in WI	Jun 4th, 2009 08:27:04 AM
I'm so happy. Today should be a bank holiday or something. Burn Notice talk back?
Burn Notice by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 08:30:27 AM
Sorry, had to keep it going. Rob in WI: As much as I love Burn Notice, it's not really a talkback-worthy show. There's only so many "Michael is so cool!" and "Fiona is so hot!" comments possible before it becomes repetitive.
C'mon, this has Burn Notice as a lead in... by Mindtrip	Jun 4th, 2009 08:41:45 AM
...so you know it's going to do good.
Burn Notice - what is it? by johnnyangel	Jun 4th, 2009 08:42:34 AM
It's not funny enough to be a comedy. It's not action-packed enough to be action. It's not dramatic enough to be a drama. If it were funnier it could be The A-Team, but it's not. It's cartoonish without being funny. Oops, I just spilled some hate all over Burn Notice. My bad.

Who is Paula Costanzo? by Anastasia Beaverhausen	Jun 4th, 2009 09:14:24 AM
Is she Paulo Costanzo's sister?
Just catching up on Burn Notice by Mr Walter	Jun 4th, 2009 09:15:45 AM
It's a really good show. But I am really looking forward to TRUE BLOOD.
chrth by zer0cool2k2	Jun 4th, 2009 09:15:58 AM
you forgot "Sam is so funny" and "Bruce Campbell is a god". See that's four talkback topics right there. And yes, Gabrielle Anwar is quite sexy, in a non-traditional way. BURN NOTICE!
EWG: One is coming by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 09:18:25 AM
The dude from Dresden Files (I think it's the same guy) was cast as former associate of Fiona for a few eps at the end of the season
David Carradine is dead?!? Fuck. by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 09:20:05 AM

DAVID CARRADINE, R.I.P. by BILLY_BOOMSTICK	Jun 4th, 2009 09:27:53 AM
Found in Bangkok... you will be missed.
EWG: The Law of Three has been supplanted by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 09:28:45 AM
By the ChrTh Exponential Celebrity Death Theory(tm 2007). With the growth of communication and exposure, the number of "celebrities" has skyrocketed. As a result the Law of Three is an artifact. In its place the CECDT has been created to deal with the new celebrity reality, and that is this: at some point in the future, a celebrity will die every day. Until we get to that point (it'll take about 20-30 years, I reckon), you'll see periods of death clusters, for example, 5 dead over 3 days, or 14 dead over 8 days. Obviously the clusters will have breaks and onesies and twosies between them, but the breaks will get smaller and the clusters larger until we arrive at the Celebrity Death Singularity (tm ChrTh 2009)
The reports are covering up the truth by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 09:34:45 AM
He was found five steps away from the door.
Regarding Burn Notice.... by benlinus	Jun 4th, 2009 09:39:21 AM
Nahhh.....why would the powers at be at AICN give US a Burn Notice talkback, have they EVER? No, instead we get SNL talkback and LENO or CONAN talkbacks, some of the dumbest crap on TV. BN is one of the coolest most fun shows on TV, its one of the highest rated cable programs and its got FUCKING BRUCE CAMPBELL! WTF AICN, give us a fucking BN talkback. The show fucking rocks and is achieving cult like status amongst the geeks. Fuck yeah! Oh, Royal Pains? couldnt give 2 shits.....
RIP DC... by benlinus	Jun 4th, 2009 09:46:05 AM
Fuck man, truly bumming news. why the fuck would he hang himself?

"Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique"
Burn Notice!!!!!!! by ottomatic	Jun 4th, 2009 10:02:36 AM
Love this show.Great way to kick off the summer. Not sure about royal pains yet but the being paid in gold bars has me alittle more interested then I would normally be for another doctor show.
RE David Carradine by benlinus	Jun 4th, 2009 10:04:22 AM
Ive perused the sites. Looks like basic suicide. I see nothing about Auto Erotic Asphyxiation or the like, unless EWG is just yanking my dick (get it!) which wouldnt suprise me............
One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 10:07:37 AM
So maybe asphyxiation was necessary? Seriously, though, I'm going to wait until all the news is known. Until then, five steps from the door.
EvilWizardGlick: Exploding heart technique by V'Shael	Jun 4th, 2009 10:09:35 AM
It's a kill bill reference.
To clarify the rumours by V'Shael	Jun 4th, 2009 10:12:42 AM
The BBC and others first reported that he was found with the rope around his neck and genitals. This was later changed to read neck and body. It was also said in the initial reports that he was found half naked. So the original details may get sanitised for public consumption, but this is basically similar to the Michael Hutchence (from INXS) death. ie, not a suicide, but death by misadventure. It's just funnier to some, to say auto-erotic asphyxiation or auto-fellatio related neck brake.
Multiple news sites still referring to the original reports by V'Shael	Jun 4th, 2009 10:15:27 AM
If you hit google, you can still find plenty of reputable sources which have not yet been sanitised. Give it a few days, and chances are none of them will mention genitals anymore.
EvilWizardGlick: Don't care what it's called. by V'Shael	Jun 4th, 2009 10:49:21 AM
Really. He's dead. When I die, I'm going to be beyond caring what anyone says about how I died.
USA by Omar B	Jun 4th, 2009 11:55:33 AM
I gotta say, USA has become one of my favorite channels over the past few years. Monk, Psych, Burn Notice (awesome!) so I'll check this new one out. Here in NY I've met a guy who's a mob Dr before and he's pretty hilarious so I'll see how it plays out on TV with shit they want to keep from the cops.
Burn Notice by Rob in WI	Jun 4th, 2009 11:59:19 AM
I believe the technical term is "Michael is so fucking cool" Plus Bruce Campbell. You know.
Why does Feuerstein keep getting series? by AnnoyYou	Jun 4th, 2009 12:40:54 PM
He's a show-killer! And not a terribly good actor (PaulO Costanzo is much more interesting and effective, but he's a show-killer too, unfortunately). Feuerstein must be somebody's nephew, or have photos of a powerful someone with a dead lady/live boy, or like Dick Cheney, merely making sacrifices to his dark lord Beelzebub. I have no other explanation for these continued, dogged attempts to make him a TV star.
Burn Notice is fucking terrible by BMacSmith	Jun 4th, 2009 12:42:20 PM
what a shit show
Love Monkey by Tar Heel	Jun 4th, 2009 12:50:53 PM
Judy Greer! The dude from "Ed." Cameos from actual musicians. A tolerable Jason Priestly. A decent and smart show. Which of course means it never stood a chance.
Yeah, I guess Bruce Campbell would be a 3rd topic by chrth	Jun 4th, 2009 12:53:10 PM
So we have three topics for a talkback: Michael/Sam/Fiona is Cool/Hot/Awesome. Oh wait, four topics: "I hate Burn Notice and even though I only watched seven minutes of it once my opinion is relevant." Fifth topic: Bale and/or Professionalism.
Count me in by mvpizzle	Jun 4th, 2009 01:50:08 PM
I've been a big fan of Feurerstein's for awhile now. Excited to see him get some leading man time - and this series sound promising. USA is yet to disappoint me with their original programming.

"Micheal gets out of prison with help from an old friend..." Prison?!?!?!? Man, I'm salivating already to see how this is going to work out. P.S. - RIP David Carradine.
Walton Goggins nominated as lead! by MaxCalifornia.	Jun 4th, 2009 04:08:04 PM
Holy shit, looks like they realized Walton's performance on The Shield was fucking stunning, by putting him in with the big boys (and girl) who are all the central characters on their shows. Hope the emmys don't drop the ball.
PennsyDeux by volcanopele2	Jun 5th, 2009 01:53:19 AM
Thanks for the nom list. I agree with most of those with a few exceptions. Rachel Maddow is just the female liberal version of Glenn Beck without the sense of humor. Here's pulling for either Lost or Mad Men.
Reshma Shetty......Damn She's Smokin' Hot by thelordofhell	Jun 5th, 2009 01:54:23 AM
She makes me want to strip naked, get in a closet, and hang myself masturbating.......I'm just sayin'.
Yay for Cletus Van Damme! by The McPoyle Clan	Jun 5th, 2009 06:19:40 AM
However, SNL is surely taking the spot of many vastly superior programs. Breaking Bad for one. Burn Notice is light summer fun. The doctor show after it...leads have no charisma.
by lsleelee	Jun 5th, 2009 12:35:56 PM
Well I saw the previews for this and they caused me physical pain. Then I read Herc's review and thought "Uh oh, my barometer must be on the fritz." Then I read all the reviews he linked to that totally contradicted him and felt better. That takes balls, writing a wrong review and then posting links to smarter people who ALL disagree.
Not watching this show because of Paolo Costanzo by Jor-El23	Jun 5th, 2009 02:03:09 PM
He plays the same smug, self-satisfied douchebag in every single thing he's ever acted in. And I'm guessing that's how he is in real life.
Burn Notice by BrannigansLaw	Jun 5th, 2009 03:40:47 PM
That's it... just wanted to say it.
You're Wrong, chrth... by BrannigansLaw	Jun 5th, 2009 03:44:21 PM
... a Burn Notice talkback would be cool. We could totally discuss the temporal shift caused by the tachyon bombardment to which we're subjected by Bruce Campbell's awesomeness. Or we could discuss the effects of the synchronicity of "releases" every time Gabrielle shows up on screen. Plenty to discuss...
this show was not terrible neat idea by walrusholder	Jun 5th, 2009 05:18:46 PM
could have better actors, writers, producers but it is a growing thing having these personal doctors in rich communities- not a bad idea but not a great show
You know you watch too much Burn Notice.... by thelordofhell	Jun 6th, 2009 03:07:40 AM
if, when you give out helpful tips to people you preface your statements by saying "When you're a spy....."
When you're a spy........ by thelordofhell	Jun 6th, 2009 03:09:20 AM
it's always good to keep some Elmer's Glue around.....that way, if you get a splinter, you just put some glue on it, wait for it to dry, then peel the dried glue off, and it will take the splinter with it.
When you're a spy......... by thelordofhell	Jun 6th, 2009 03:11:54 AM
you should have some fine grit sandpaper in your kitchen drawer, that way if you accidentally chip a glass, you can sand the chip smooth with the sandpaper and not have to worry about cutting your lips on the glass.
When you're a spy......... by thelordofhell	Jun 6th, 2009 03:13:19 AM
and you're out of toothpaste, you can always just sprinkle some baking soda on your toothbrush, it will clean your teeth just as well.
Burn Notice! by allykatD	Jun 7th, 2009 01:12:37 PM
It's an awesome show, so much better than most of the crap on TV. If they put a quality show like this in the slot of The Mentalist (I have no clue why people love that show) it'd be huge. I want to like Royal Pains was just meh... I ended up not watching the last 15 minutes of it. I didn't like the actor playing the main doctor/character which is bad thing. Talk Back for Burn Notice! God what a fabulous season opening. Michael has a big fat bullseye on his back and it'll be fun to see how he handles these new challenges with everyone gunning for him.
We need more doctor shows on tv... by StatelyWayneManor	Jun 8th, 2009 02:44:26 PM
Y'know, where the doctor has to break the rules because the system is broken.
