When you’re a spy

He was supposed to make a certain flight for prisoner transfer.

whatever, I'd tap out little marimba melodies on her ribcage with my hog

He's always going undercover, that's the opposite of comfy. Every other scene is him pretending to be someone he's not, makes me anxious as fuck

Yes, it's the perfect example of a show that's enjoyable because it sticks to its formula, which is why the last season or so was so bad

>be flip
>watch this series and be fairly entertained by it
>tell friend about it, says he'll check it out
>it was that episode where they use some sikret filipino bomb with filipino 'letters' which in reality nobody uses
next day he told me i watch silly shows

Monk, Psych, and Burn Notice are maximum comfy

I absolutely loved this show. Any other films or tv shows like it?

First few seasons of the original MacGyver are great and has that spy making silly gadgets shtick. Doesn’t have the ensemble cast though.

Depends on what part of the show you liked most?

That was hell of a run. I never had USA (only aerial), but when ION picked up all those shows that was some good times.

Fi's pokies were the fuel for many nuts in the teenage years.

Something like Burn Notice without the constraintss of network tv would be killer.

Leverage

I think one of the things I really liked was that they went undercover each episode, so you have the actors essentially playing different characters every episode. It's like the actors are playing characters who are professional actors.

I don't like Leverage's shtick of showing the action basically from the bad guy's perspective, then going back and showing the things the good guys secretly did after the resolution doesn't go like the bad guy expects. The overall problem is that you can't have a story where you're told a plan, and then the plan is enacted, because it's redundant. So either you have to not be told the plan, or the plan has to go awry and the action is about fixing the plan. Most shows (including Burn Notice) do the latter, but when they usually have to do the Leverage "flashbacks to what really happened" thing because if they showed you what was going on you'd be able to figure out the plan before it's revealed.
Anyway, I think it fucks up the pacing.

first 2 seasons were good then it got pussified

No idea why I liked it so much...

did elliot end up with a gf? i don't remember.

I liked the 3 main characters and their chemistry. I liked the whole neighborhood nice guy spy moral and I liked the heist of the week drama if thats the right way of expressing it.

So comfy and fun

weird unreal series
I liked that SNL bit: What is Burn Notice?

To be honest I found the lack of grit and blood and murder to be interesting. More contrived but also sensible given he's flying below the radar and it's only when shit is real that the bodies start to drop. He can't be murdering baddies left and right or that's going to draw a lot of attention to him that he doesn't want. At first I did find it confounding given it's not that he's not bloodthirsty, he goes above and beyond to not kill anyone with rare exception. But I came to understand and appreciate it.

>he wasn't having sex regularly
What a faggot. I mean look at what's waiting for him when he comes home to his little warehouse apartment or whatever it was.

> What a faggot.
He literally was. Well the actor is anyway.

Justified

>dat episode where he has to pretend hes the devil
>dat episode where he calls in all his favors in the final episode and it shows "Michael Westen - The Client"
>dat episode where Mike has to pretend to be a pedo to get the big bad but is foiled by Dexter Morgan

last few seasons were questionable but still had a lot of kino

Ex-spies also helped create The Americans

>Bly and Westen trapped in a bank robbery and overcome their differences and work together using glow magic while trying to keep everyone alive

YOGURT IS GAY MICHAEL

AND IF ITS FOR HEALTH KEFIR IS THE SUPERIOR DAIRY PRODUCT

>most entertaining show about people going undercover
>no show like it since

It's not fair bros.

Is this Bruce's biggest success story?

I live in Canada so I never had USA. From the sound of it, this show had pretty stellar ratings. Does this mean that the general audience would be more likely to recognize Bruce from this than from his Evil Dead cult film career?

probably more from Burn Notice, but both fan bases are huge i would think

It did help kick him back into acting gear not to mention it got Bruce back on people's radar for the first time since the late 90s.

Before that he was doing mostly low budget but entertaining straight to DVD and/or scifi channel movies like Alien Apocalypse and Man with the Screaming brains

RAIMI MADE BRUCE

BOOMSTICK

>it's a Sam gets to punch Michael in the face to sell a cover episode

Yeah, Bruce worked out for the spin off movie you could see it in season 6 or 7 i think?

Leverage was usually about the plan not working out though, it even became a schtick that the crew would all wind up with different ideas of what "plan B" was supposed to be. Also the best Leverage episode is a Rashomon Effect story.
He had a country singer ex-GF that he hooked back up with.
Nah, I doubt it. Most of the time I use Bruce Campbell to suggest Burn Notice to people who haven't seen it, not the other way around.

Burn notice made me realise that bruce campbell would be the perfect sully in an uncharted adaptation

>boomer dad used to watch this show with me all the time
>thought fiona was hot as fuck and was proud i agreed
>unironically said "they don't make em like that anymore" while sipping from his can of beer
fuck that memory is so much funnier these days

A "rogue" spy did a bunch of fucking war crimes that got pinned on Michael
These crimes were pinned on him on purpose to cover up the real activities of the rogue spy, who was actually an agent of a splinter group in the CIA.
Eventually Michael is brought on by a cia handler who is actually a splinter group higher up, which I think is the season you stopped on or right before
It gets kind of crazy after that, but in a "oh shit this is some good spy shit" way

I think it's hilarious how you get the sense Michael has a thing for being really dramatic about his sometimes over the top and unnecessary covers

That fucking devil episode killed me. Michael Weston is a melodramatic fuck and I loved every second. The snaps, the suit, it was peak weston

Which ep is that?

Episode 311: Friendly Fire

The other great thing about the last episode was Michael getting into a fight with Sam, complete with "When fighting an ex-Navy SEAL in water, the important thing is..." narration.

>everytime they make in-between shots
>always women in bikini
>women dancing
>women in bars
I like Burn Notice

My god do I have a hardon for repeating villains in succeeding seasons

>Larry is a villain for an episode in a season
>Tyler Brennan is a villain for an episode in a seaosn
>they all converge in season 6
>Simon is introduced as "Michael without his friends" as someone as good as michael but more lethal
>gets put in a hole in season 3
>actually comes back in the last season to fuck things up

The A-Team

>nobody really dies

Starting the series over now because of this thread.

tfw only burn notice meme I've seen from Yea Forums is from a song of ice and fire

My name is Michael Westen and I used to be a Lord until...
"We have a royal decree of treason, you're exiled."
When you're exiled you've got nothing, no gold, no lands, no knights. You're stuck in whatever city your horse was stolen in.
"Where am I?"
"Kings Landing."
You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A sword-happy ex-whore...
"Shall we stab them?"
An old friend who used to be a Goldcloak.
"You know Lords, as useless as nipples on a breastplate."
Family too...
"Hey, another Raven from your mother..."
....if you're desperate
"The smallfolk need your help Michael!"
Bottom line, until you kill that vicious cunt Cersei... you're not going anywhere.

Those are some kino feet

The rest of her is pretty kino too.

Goddamn kek
Thanks friendo
