Same goes for lawyers and cops. Are there no other professions in this country worth exploring through television programs?

Burn Notice talk back?

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...

Burn Notice - what is it?
by johnnyangel

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.

And yes, Gabrielle Anwar is quite sexy, in a non-traditional way.

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)

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

... 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...

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...
