Editorial Review: Product Description: Michael Westen is a trained spy who receives a "burn notice" for an unstated reason & effectively is fired. Penniless he returns to his hometown in Miami and freelances while trying to find who burned him.System Requirements:Running Time: 530 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543519317 Manufacturer No: 2251931 Amazon.com: Burn Notice is a canny, clever comedy-thriller show about a covert operative with a heart of gold. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is in the middle of a top-secret mission when he discovers he's been "burned"--basically, fired without warning. After barely extricating himself from danger, he wakes up in Miami, where the government has abandoned him and locked him out of his own bank account. To make ends meet, he takes on private detective jobs (helping an old lady who's fallen victim to a con artist; rescuing a young girl who's being tricked into white slavery; helping a mother whose son has been kidnapped by the boy's father... only it turns out the father is the rightful parent and the "mom" is an assassin sent to kill him--a nice guest star appearance by Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess), while trying to figure out who burned him and why. Westen tries to remain clinical in his approach to these problems, but he always ends up protecting the helpless with his sophisticated spy skills. Over the course of the first season, he gradually uncovers a mysterious conspiracy that plans to use his talents for their own nefarious ends. Burn Notice deftly mixes the old and the new. The old: Our hero has a hot ex-girlfriend (Gabrielle Anwar, Scent of a Woman), a goofy sidekick (cult hero Bruce Campbell of the Evil Dead movies), and a meddling mom (Sharon Gless, Cagney & Lacey) who help and hinder him in his investigations, as well as a MacGyver-esque skill for making deadly devices out of common household products. The new: A media-savvy way of deconstructing the tricks and techniques of spies and government agencies, often resulting in smart and highly entertaining plot twists. Donovan, handsome but cheeky, combines a light comic touch with a convincing secret agent cool, and the supporting cast fill their niches with aplomb. Their escapades are pretty breezy and occasionally skirt being glib, but most of the time the show finds an extremely entertaining balance between action, romance, and humor. The extras are few (some montages of characteristic moments from the series, including one of the many bikini-clad girls the Miami locale provides) and the commentaries, rather than covering entire episodes, just discuss a few select scenes from each show. Fortunately, the series itself holds up; imagine a cross between Magnum, P.I. and The Wild Wild West (the classic series, not the insulting Will Smith movie) and you're on the right track. --Bret Fetzer Beyond Burn Notice on DVD

 Rating:  - You will love this show.I was a fan of this show from the get-go and have been on a mission to get everyone I know to watch it. All who have succombed to my pleas are total converts. In fact, I bought this box set for my mom for her birthday because she missed a couple of the first season episodes. She says this is now her favorite show (that and The Closer) so she is going to flip out when she gets this box set next week. It's extremely entertaining and fun tv for people of all ages. Rating: - Not just eye candyWhile some episodes are available online, I bought the DVD's to add to my collection and can watch, pause, change, and take with on trips when I choose. While the sporatic narration sounds influnced by the "survior's" guides, there is action, great characterization, humor, surprises in the plot, and just a titch of romance. My compliments to the writers. (and the actors for their portrayal) As someone with a very low tolerance for bad scripts, (I have walked out of movie ...

Rating: - Best bang for buckThis is one of the funniest shows out there. An ex-IRA affiliated girl friend who's an explosives expert? You can't wrong with that one :-) Rating: - Excellent showThis is an excellent show. The main character is whitty and is truly a man's man. Each episode is action packed and you can't wait to see how they unfold. Plenty of twist throughout to keep you fully interested. A great buy. Browse for similar items by category:
