Burn Notice (Season 1)

The show you should be watching, but probably aren't. Burn Notice is the most recent series to star Bruce Campbell, of Evil Dead trilogy fame, and despite that, it has not been canceled. Which is good, because he is excellent in it. But the lead role belongs to Jeffrey Donovan, who can work wonders with dry, witty characters. Just check him out in the short-lived series Touching Evil, if you can find it. Michael Westen (Donovan) is a spy who is burned, i.e. booted from the spy business, and must track down the person responsible. Why? Because he damn well can. Oh, yeah, he also helps people out, using his spy skills to solve their problems. Cool, I know. The episodes are funny and fresh, which mix well with the shows sunny Miami locale. So get out there, rent/buy the series, and hopefully you'll fall in love with it. I'm sure us fans would love to have you.
