Burn Notice

Burn Notice was a show on the USA Network for five years. It was one of my favorite shows when it was on.

The show follows the main character, Micheal Westen after he loses his position as a C.I.A (Central Intelligence Agency) agent. He loses his aliases and his true name is put out there for all his enemies to learn. This is call being burned or a burn notice. He is dumped unconscious in Miami and told not to leave the city.

He awakens to find his ex-girlfriend Fiona Glennane, a former IRA operative. From this point on he is on a mission to find out who burned him and she reluctantly assists him.

He reconnects with his estranged mother. And allies with Sam Axe played by Bruce Campbell, who informs on him to the F.B.I (Federal Bureau of Investigations). And later on with Jesse Porter another burnt agent.

One of the things that made this show unique was it would explain how to make or do different tasks. It was as if it was a D.I.Y. (do it yourself) spy training show. I would watch thinking if there were thieves out there taking notes from this show on how to properly make and use explosives or commit crimes.
The show is/was just fun with interesting and lovable characters. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a fun spy show.

I would love if they made a Burn Notice Television movie or three, soon. No idea if this is even talked about but it should be.

PENN & TELLER BULLSHIT

Penn & Teller Bullshit is a very good show. If you like shows that use COMMON SENSE, have a bit of WISDOM, uses up to date information and FACTS. This is the show for you. Many social and political issues are full of people, being and using emotion to make "points" but they aren't using actual facts. This show does that. With a lot of humor and an occasional bare breast or nudity (Men and women).

This show is on SHOWTIME check it out. If for anything find the episode on Lie Detectors. If you have any faith in them after that show you won't.



If I remember this correctly, this image came from an episode of an idiot who was trying to show how people (especially children)that play first person shooters will become crazed killers. I'll admit that if the kid has the tendencies to want to use guns and kill then they will be attracted to these games. However just because a few use these games to help their dark impulses isn't grounds to ban the games. By this reasoning we won't allow alcohol, or driving, or many other things that are dangerous but socially acceptable. If a few idiots can't handle the responsibility doesn't man the majority of the population should be punished.





Watch this show! You, your community, and your nation will be better off for it.
Side-note: HBO has more hype and is it's shows are more talked about but SHOWTIME has more consistently good shows.
