TV show description:
This comedy/drama centers around a spy who’s received a “burn notice,” meaning that the agency that he works for has wiped him off the grid, leaving him with no work history, no money, and no identity.
Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) flees a Nigerian operation that is taken down after the sudden non-cooperation of his U.S. contact. He soon finds himself back in his hometown of Miami with his ex, Fiona Glenanne (Gabrielle Anwar). A quick wit with two black belts, Michael’s assets have been frozen and he’s been abandoned by all of his business contacts. Michael learns that if he leaves Miami he’ll be taken into custody. So, working as a private investigator, he hopes to learn who burned him and why.
Fiona is a former IRA operative. She decides to stick around in Miami after Michael shows up and becomes one of his confidantes. She’s an explosives expert. Fiona and Michael are drawn to each other and, in their line of work, they really don’t have anyone else they can be with.
Sam Axe (Bruce Campbell) is a former Navy SEAL and a semi-retired intelligence operative. He works as a double agent and has been asked to report on Michael to the FBI. He tells Michael about this and they pass false information to the FBI. Using the alias of Chuck Finley, Sam has no job and no place to live, so he sleeps with rich, older women in exchange for food and shelter.
When Sam’s not doing that, he lives with Michael’s mom, a chain-smoking hypochondriac named Madeline Westen (Sharon Gless). Madeline’s other son is Nate (Seth Peterson), Micahel’s down-on-his-luck younger brother who has a tendency to wager property that he doesn’t own. Nate still resents Michael’s joining the military and leaving him at home with their abusive father. The brothers are able to find common ground when it comes to their desire to keep their Mom happy and safe.

Please don’t cancel burn notice after the 2013 season, love this show! I could go on to restate all the comments above but it’s one of the best shows on tv, and I have almost every cable channel there is.
Thank you
Elaine
Alas, I used to love this show. However, I burned out about a year and a half ago. The trying to find out just got to stupid and unimaginative. The stories of them helping people where great.
sigh the show got stuck in a loop.
I have been a faithful follower of Burn Notice but in the last season the shows story lines have gotten old. Maybe one or two episodes with nothing but Michael Weston and crew working to finally clearing his name. But come to think of it, if he’s no longer Burned the show would have to change its name maybe “Probation Notice”, or move along. Lets hope CW or another studio will pick it up and at least finish out the story of his being burned.
burn notice is the best show i’ve watched in years. i watch it every week and does my son. they have good story telling and great actors and the action is fantasic. usa would be crazy to cancel a great show to put on some less quality show that might not even make it thru a season let alone a year why do networks always want to stop a great show instead of letting it keep going on course and getting better and better. burn notice still has a few more years of good story telling left to be told. so please don’t cancel burn notice.
For the high price of cable tv, we the viewers deserve good tv. Burn notice meets this criteria. Don’t cancel. Good entertainment, characters and acting are too rare these days !
Thank you

Keep it. It is Great… Give Sam more billing. Sharon Gless fussing and smoking does not
come close to the character of “Sam.”
