I watched four or five episodes before deciding BN could not maintain my interest as I didn't care about any of the characters. I'll give it another shot based on opinions here.

You're timing is a bit off since the season just ended...

When and where? I checked the guide and I'm only seeing one Burn Notice on USA in about two weeks in the early morning, and a couple of them on UHD, looks like slim pickings from my guide.

Yeah, that would be the other point. It's not like they seriously retooled the show, other than adding the new evil corporation plot line last season. the main characters are still the same and still act the same way.

I got turned on to this show by friends but only after the first season had long since finished. I ended up renting the first season episodes from Netflix. I had just finished watching the first season as the first half of the second season ended. Following that, I wanted to catch up, but for a long time on USA HD, they were broadcasting almost none of the initial second season episodes.

Finally there was a marathon showing, and I had my Comcast HD DVR set to record it, as I was going to be out of town. I got home and found out that we had experienced an extended power outage, and they were never recorded.

The 2nd season hasnt been released on dvd, and besides, I really want watch the episodes on HD.

What other ways are there to accomplish that? I really enjoy this show and am very frustrated at not having yet been able to watch the second season.

It's available digitally on many platforms. iTunes, Xbox Live Marketplace ... and Hulu always have episodes online for free.

It's pretty much guaranteed USA will run another marathon before the third season begins this Summer too.

Loved the 2nd half of the season more than last year's first half. Can't wait until season 3.

You're right. The broad is pug ugly and the guy has a weird snide, puckered look...both turn-offs for me...not to mention the voice-overs are tired. Forgidabowdit.

New season starts on June 4th...and it's moving to 9pm now (works for me)...what works even better for me is that they are adding Moon Bloodgood to the series now...i know some of you complain about fiona, but i cant imagine any complaints about moon.

Season three kicks off tonight with "Friends and Family", 9/8C

Michael emerges from the water free from interference by the organization that burned him. But he's no longer under their protection, and is being investigated by the police. He gets out of prison with help from an old friend who has a job for him: extraditing a thug who's displacing landowners in a Latin American country.


Creator Matt Nix on the season 3 Story Arc, Character relationships, etc..

I'm glad this is back but it's still some of the worst HD quality on screen. It might have actually got worse this week.

No, it's never been very good, and it does look a little worse in this first episode. I think some of the acting was a little flat as well, maybe from just getting started again.

Whew, glad I wasn't the only one. I was afraid the bulb on my set was starting to go!

Great to have it back though. I think we're going to like this new direction they're taking. Although I have to admit, I pegged Harlan as a turncoat the second he popped up - as I'm sure others did as well.

I do hope we get to see John Mahoney (leader of Management) again, because that was way too short a turn in March's finale.
