The Burn Notice - Paige - 06-29-2007
Just watched the premier of Burn Notice on USA.
I'm a huge fan of Jeffrey Donovan from his "Touching Evil" days and i wasn't disappointed. The premise is fairly simple. An ex-spy who fell out of favor with the gov. is now stuck in Miami helping the little guy. It reminded me so much of Jack i wanted to cry a little.
The easy, laid back character, the "simple" fix to complex situations...everything a gal needs after a long day in the office. So, those who have seen it, nay or yeay?

I've got it DVR'd, but haven't yet watched it. I like the actor, though, also from the Touching Evil series and I was so disappointed when that show was not successful as a series.

Damn! I missed it. I wanted to catch this show. I had once, long ago, suggested Donovan as a possible Jack, but those few who knew him kind of laughed me off. I still think he's a good choice. So I thought it was funny when I read about his character in this new show. He's sort of like Jack. What a strange coincidence.
If this show is successful, I'll bet the next person to suggest him won't be laughed at.I, too, was a fan of Touching Evil and was bummed when it didn't return for a second season - I figured it wouldn't cause it did lack that certain special something. But I've wondered how the American version compared with the original English version?? Better, worse, no comparison? I hope he has better luck with this show.

Huh, i must not have seen your suggestion of Donovan for Jack, because I certainly would have approved it.
I've never seen the UK version, but i heard from multiple sources that it was better than the American one. I liked whoever scored Touching Evil because the music was absolutely wonderful.
Don't worry about missing it, I'm sure USA will rerun it 100 times untill the next one.

I liked both versions. I had seen the American version first, so I was probably partial to it, but I really liked both versions.
Donovan would make a great Jack.

i also liked touching evil and had suggested him as a possible jack as well
i think burn notice is very good, i like it so much in fact that i'm sure i've personally doomed it.

Whenever I like a show, it is almost automatically destined for quick cancellation. I like the chick that plays his girlfiriend or ex-girlfriend, whichever it is, especially when she uses that Irish accent. And it is really cool to see Bruce Campbell on a regular basis again (at least until the show gets cancelled).

Susan, I thought the same thing when I first saw it. This show reads like a 'how to' guide.
