Royally Burned!

on Wednesday, June 3, 2009

I have a very small schedule of "must-see" shows on TV.

My favorite show is the Amazing Race. This is by far the best reality show on TV and most fairly run as teams advance on their merits and strengths, not by subjective voting. On my schedule the Race is followed by Dancing With The Stars. Admittedly the voting is a little suspect, especially early on each season, but the finals usually boil down to three of the better couples and talent winning over just plain popularity.

Now comes my favorite unreal show - USA Network's Burn Notice!

Fiona, Sam, and everyone's favorite spy Michael Weston return tomorrow night - Thursday June 4th - for the start of Burn Notice's summer season. Perfect timing, since both the racing and dancing are on summer hiatus.

Michael Weston is my favorite spy - part Jason Bourne, part James Bond, a dash of McGyver. Michael has got average-guy good looks, realistic physical aspects, and is spy smooth & sauve without being cloying. His true blue guy-pal Sam has his back. Ex-girlfriend, sometimes lover, and former IRA gun runner Fiona is better than a Bond Girl, she's more developed, as a character where it counts. And as independent and world-wise as Michael is, he still has to occasionally answer to his "mom", played by Emmy winner Sharon Gless.

Don't Get Burned Notice: Burn Notice has been moved up an hour this season!
Burn Notice will air an hour earlier to serve as a lead-in to USA Network's new summer series "Royal Pains".
