I used to really like this show back in the day. I fell off of it somewhere and never finished it.

Every now and then this clip of a SNL game shows called "What is Burn Notice?" pops up on my TikTok feed but I can't find it on YouTube to embed.

Was USA making good shows no one knew about? With the burn notice love here, the resurgence of suits and the goat psych; they had interesting programming no one seemed to watch.

Lots of people watched them. Burn Notice ran for 7 seasons.

Obligatory

My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy, until...

voice on phone:
[phone rings] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted.

Michael Westen:
[whistles]

Michael Westen:
[voice-over] When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.

Michael Westen:
[groggily] Where am I?

Fiona Glenanne:
Miami.

Michael Westen:
[voice-over] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you:

Michael Westen:
[laughs tightly]

Michael Westen:
[voice-over]... a trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...

Fiona Glenanne:
Should we shoot them?

Michael Westen:
[voice-over]... an old friend who's informing on you to the FBI...

Sam Axe:
You know spies: bunch of bitchy little girls.

Michael Westen:
[voice-over]... family, too...

Sam Axe:
[phone rings] Hey, is that your mom again?

Michael Westen:
[voice-over]... if you're desperate.

Madeline Westen:
Someone needs your help, Michael.

Michael Westen:
[voice-over] Bottom line: until you figure out who burned you, you're not going anywhere.

My only real criticism with her is how her Irish accent basically faded from one episode to the next.

But I get it, once she has been established as former IRA, that’s all that was really needed.

When they introduced the character of Jesse and added him to the team it seemed forced and unnecessary. Even when Nate started to get a bigger role and presence, it was overkill.

Tim Matheson was great in his guest appearances as Larry.

Loved the show. Will watch reruns every now and then.

It was one episode and it was the pilot

Once the show got the green light, they got rid of the accent. They even make a joke about it in episode 2

Very entertaining show for straight males, who weren't babied as kids. It had everything red blooded American boys love. Fights, shoot outs and a hot chick that blew stuff up!

Jeffrey Donovan is under rated imho - he was so good in the Sicario films

I've never seen him in anything where he didn't kill it. Never heard of this show before but I'll check it out.

yeah, that's the turning point. Jesse was cool enough, but it changed the dynamics.
