Just wondering if any other RJ fans watch "Burn Notice".
It has a basic similar plot, guy with skill handles problems outside the law for people who can't handle themselves, for each episode, but the overall plot/aim is spy/espionage based.
Though, where Jack only works for money, Michael (the main character) works for money but sometimes he's simply guilted into jobs by his friends/family into helping.
Where Jack is a self made man and master of many trades, Michael Weston is a CIA guy. Operates outside the law, has tons of tricks of the trade/McGuyver-like skills, and he prefers to work from the shadows, or under an assumed ID.
That and his love interest is an ex-IRA gun/explosive maniac. So they differ in that way.
And his backup is a retired Navy SEAL turned gigilo played by Bruce Campbell. The humor is completely different, as is how he solves problems, but it's a fun little show if you happen to catch it on tv.

"No, you were right the first time: I am insane. But I'll take insane and knowing the truth over sanity and self delusion any day"
"Stabbing someone is no longer considered rude. Rather, it is now an acceptable method in which to end a conversation"

Yes, there are RJ board members who have watched "Burn Notice." That's a link to a previous thread about it.
And hello and welcome, I don't believe I've met you before.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

Oh yeah, I like Burn Notice, too. A few weeks ago just finished season 1. Can't wait for next season.
