Agreed. It might be plausible with his personality but it does become a bit of a running joke. "Oh, so and so at the marina. I'll ask him." oh okay

but his buddies are all on the clean side of the law as opposed to fionas who are on the dirty side and as such we see them more often. also he lived there for a significant period of time of corse with his personality he made friends.

Dont forget Chuck Finley

@@kytpuma I love the idea to create such an identity where you can drop all the horrible thing that you might have done, or even others have done to build a name for it. It's so good I adopted it for some of my Shadowrun Characters.

Chuck Finley has lots of buddies.

Writing was really tight throughout. I didn't always like how the story went but as a character study, Michael was immensely interesting.

@@NaterTotWhat didn't you like specifically? This is just out of curiosity btw. I'm not gonna scold you for your opinions.

Nikita and 12 Monkeys are 2 other series with no (if any) fillers and awesomely satisfying endings.

I would agree, though I didnt find how he kept being handed off from boss to boss to get this job back, it felt like they did that in order to push the story forward more. But over all i liked it.

Jac Colbert yeah but it’s also as realistic as a tv show like this could be as that’s just how bureaucracy works. Someone always has a boss and each one is gonna fuck with you.

The expression implies he changes cons. Usually con men have one particular scam, he is much more flexible. It's not referring to him moving his legs.

Jonathan Wulf A con man with only one scam is called a scammer.

@@treehugers1000 A scammer or a con man can have multiple or just a singular scam/con. The used expression clarifies what he means.

Yeah...but he is a con man who can a) kick your ass or 2) kill you and 3) make home made listening devices and bombs.

In some circles, called "a conman"

Right lol😂😂

Loved that line!!! Plus probably true🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@pinkrose5796 it is true. Donnovan was in contact with a real spy to make the character more real.

Terry loves yogurt.

The blueberry kind too 😤

That was one of the things that drew me to the series. Not because I too have an affection for yogurt, I don't eat it very much, but because they were so consistent with it. Right from the first episode where he grabs a yogurt out of the fridge of the house he broke into, to how he had yogurt in his home all the time. In some ways, yogurt was like a tell for Michael. He always knew where to get it.

Blueberry!!

I eat tons of it bc of Burn Notice.

Excellent actor. Also a black belt in Shotokan Karate, and studied Aikido and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for many years, which lends even more realism to the hand to hand combat scenes

Not underrated.

@Nick Howley I did... and holy shit!!!

@@ariesradke6193 Which one? Jeffrey Donovan or Burn Notice? I think both are...

@@RDSports5 He made everything seem so realistic that I used to take notes of all the spy tips in case I ever need'em😅

I watched this as a kid. Some of this comes in handy!

Tell me about it!

Both shows rock!

couldn't agree more!@@czarinacourtneyal-marmont4699

I always wished Mythbusters tried to recreate the flare strapped to a revolver thing from the pilot episode...

I agree. Solidly the best show ever.

My favorite action tv show too

So sad when I ask people and no one knows.

Burn notice is so good. Wish more series were like this.

It aired on USA and on Thursdays, so it was never going to be that well known.

Damn, all time favorite!? It's definitely in my Top 10 as is MW. I absolutely love him. I'm hoping the review brings some attention to the show and character.

This show is awesome definitely 1 of my top 10 favorite tv shows of all time.

@@oliverqueen9886 Likewise! For the most part, it's aged well too!

Psych is another great show on the USA network. I also like Mr. Robot which is another show on usa as well.

Just to let you guys know these 3 shows are available on Amazon prime. I think prime has most of the USA network shows.

John Wick is the dark version of Michael Weston.

I can agree to both points.

@@Neojhun john wick is micheal weston if fiona gets killed post show

Neojhun yes that is what he means lol

Lol, Michael Weston didn't have a dog.

I loved all of these, also liked the mentalist.

Monk is really good too

initially liked psych, but hated it towards the end, it got repetitive and tiresome. there was 0 character development. at the end of the series, he's always a man-child that doesn't grow up or take anything serious. all the other ones you've named, all the major characters changed and grew in their own ways. Didn't watch last season of castle tho.

Looove Psych. Person of Interest is also super underrated.

Philip Thomas monk, csi, csi NY, Covert Affairs, and Criminal Minds :)

"If you're desperate".

@@napalmstickylikeglue "Someone needs your help Michael."

The Faceless Gamer “Bottom line: until you figured out who burned you..... you’re not going anywhere.”

"And a down and out spy you met along the way." "That's how we do it people!"

“Should we shoot them?”

Completely agree!

I rewatched it recently myself, still enjoyed every minute.

More like Jason bourne and Mcgyver

All of them together are the A-Team with the van

Easy 💪

Hes better then Bond though because he actually can maintain a cover id and not announce who he is every episode to the people hes trying to get under cover with.

I would say 1/4 Jason Bourne, 1/4 Thomas Magnum. 1/2 Seamus MacGyver.

You definitely should!

I’ve always joked with my parents, who showed me the show back in 2007, that one day my son Michael would come in holding the burn notice full series dvds and I’d have to see tell him to get his brother Sam and sister Fiona lmao I know that an old joke used for Harry Potter and whatnot but damn it’s hilarious and I loved this show and just recently rewatched it

I’m not rich. The only inheritance my kids will get is an undying love for Burn Notice.

I absolutely agree!

Probably my favorite show

The old Ellen DeGeneres sitcom had Bruce Campbell in it, but he was her homophobic boss.

facts, he's just as good as it gets. Every line he reads/speaks is art. Love the guy.

He's actually why I started watching. I was flipping channels and suddenly I saw Bruce Campbell and I was like, "What's this?"

😂😂😂 so true! But its good on its own merits too. Bruce is the cherry on top

It deserves much more!

It's great but should have ended 2 seasons earlier than it did. It stretched on just a tad to long

@@thomasc.5219 I also think the earlier seasons were better, but they were doing so amazing they wanted to do more. As Nate Westen said, Half of Michael Westen is still better than all of most people.

I believe majority of the USA Network shows are!

Absolutely. I think it is better than 24 also.

Right there with you 😂

Just twice

You've watched all 8 sessions 8 times?

I've watched the entire show through at least 3 times as well, and several episodes many times.

@@Perserra I know each season as a new tier to the burn notice but does it ever get resolved? I I just haven't had that had the time to watch all the way through

Good choices.

Yes, I love both of those shows as well... have rewatched them myself more then twice.

Another great episode. I could've made the review an hour long just going over so many well written episodes 😂 hope you stay, subscribe and continue to support Bob!

Shot in the Dark is another great episode from s3. Btw how would you guys rank the seasons of burn notice from favorite to least favorite? Paul recently ranked the seaosns on his KZfaq channel.

@@oliverqueen9886 tough question, I feel they all have something special they add to the show. What are your thoughts? But once they brought in Jesse, he added a whole new dynamic to the crew.. one of my favorite parts was episode 603 when Weston was practicing to be a doctor on the cruise ship--- Westen: we need an ECG, CBC and a PTT, stat! Jesse: how about a B.L.T or PB&J A.S.A.P... Lulz

@@bobjalockowitz1568 that episode is actually my favorite sidemisson from s6. I like all seasons of Burn Notice too so even my least favorite season is still an A to me. I noticed when it comes to burn notice s1 thru 4 were more episodic with many sidemissons clients of the week and only maybe 10 mins of the 40 some min episode was about the main story arch of the season where the rest was about the client sidemisson of the week making it very easy to watch almost any random episode those seasons. I will say that the season premiere and season finale were mostly the main story arch of the season though. But all the other episodes in between were not so much. As far as s5 that is when the show became more story arch vs episodic clients of the week. There were still a good amount of sidemissons having nothing to do with the main story arch but it now was like 50/50 vs 90/10. Than with s6 and s7 it became no more episodic at all. In s6 and s7 Every sidemisson client had to do with the main story arch and there was way less sidemissons clients of the week compared to s1 and s5 which all mostly had nothing to do with the main story arch at all.

Favorite episode by far

It really would have!

I was sad this never happened.

Straight up that’s the coolest part About the show

Glad I did it justice for you! :)

Wow, that's amazing! Any chance you have a list on you? Lol

@@tonyradle8747 i found nothing about this... jeffrey donovan speaks english and russian

Thanks Sam Nelson. I knew he was a black belt in several different martial arts -- lifelong work at it, the real deal -- but I never knew about his language skills. I always was impressed how well Jeffrey Donovan shifted into foreign languages, and assumed he rehearsed like crazy with language coaches. Ha! Another reason to love him, and the show.

Love the show but his Russian accent was terrible

@00justSomeAccount00 no because he was actually speaking russian at times.

JD was good in Sicario as well.

Donovan deserves a lot more notoriety!

I'm right there with you 😊

I'll be your Westen

fernandito if you're the us its on hulu

@fernandito FER even better is to order it off ebay or amazon. I got the whole series minus the fall of sam axe for $60.00 us dollars

@fernandito FER HULU

Thank you so much :)

Agreed

It's great but should have ended 2 seasons earlier than it did. It stretched on just a tad to long

I haven’t watched the entire series yet....but Fiona is driving a blue Saab...hmmm

@@markrubin376 Fi gets that car during season 3 and pretty much has it until the end of the show's run. Hyundai had a sponsor/product placement deal so they promote the fuck out of that car, arguably seasons 4 and 5 feature it more than the Charger.

Lucky!

dude thats pretty dope

I think we will see one announced here soon, honestly. Bruce Campbell and Jeffrey Donovan both speak of the want to do one. I just think everything would have to be right (story, pay, if USA would want to do it, etc).

@@NaterTot I really hope so. It would be awesome to see another burn notice movie. I was wondering what are some of your favorite episodes of the series. I like that you mention bad breaks. That is 1 of my favorite episodes from s2. Comrades was funny as well during s2. Seeing Michael fake a escape with the Russian was hilarious. What did you think of blind spot from s4. I thought that 1 was hilarious or how about the episode from s3 where michael pretends to be a pastor of a church at the end. It would be nice to see you talk more about this show. I noticed this is your most popular video on your channel.

@@oliverqueen9886 So many. I think the Pilot is really well done, actually. Besides some of the narration, it does an excellent job of setting the landscape. Friendly Fire, the one where he becomes 'the Devil' is awesome too. I honestly really enjoy the finale, as it had some really touching/tender moments with the characters. I thought the, "What will I tell him when he grows up?" and Fiona responding, "Tell him my name is Michael Westen...I used to be a spy." Was extremely clever.

@@NaterTot The pilot is among the best pilot's I have seen. I remember watching it when it aired, with a slight headache after a nap. I liked the pilot so much that it hooked me on to the show. Also, the final episode had most of the characters say their intro lines, like Fiona saying Mike's "I used to be a spy..." line, Sam telling that CIA handler "You know spies, bunch of bitchy little girls" and Jesse saying "That's how we do it people". Like you said it was extremely clever and very well timed.

The movie "The Fall of Sam Axe" is pretty good for those of you wishing for a prequel of some sorts.

I am starting tonight for the 4th time.

Same

I really appreciate it. I just work as hard as I can and hope everyone enjoys it. Feel free to share and spread the word :)

Equilizer 2 sucked ass though. First one was 10 times better.

@@ericyuan9718 I was actually referring to the original 80's TV series starring Ed Woodward. But I have to agree, EQ2 had some serious 3rd Act problems.

That might one of the best descriptions of this wonderful show, that I've ever seen.

I honestly think they could've done it. Clashing the two distinct personalities would've been amazing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. That or Psych/Royal Pains

Hey Psych made a movie, who knows maybe it could happen :)

Or covert affairs and burn notice

i know you know that im not telling the truth (michael grins and turns on a electric drill with a big ass bit on it)

Brennan was my favorite baddie he faced. I hated the way they wrote him out but I really thought he gave Michael a run for his money.

@@NaterTot I thought it was a great way. The line Larry says about him is pretty great. "You're so busy thinking ten moves ahead, you don't see the move being made right in front of you." or something along those lines.

@@Renagade2332 yep. Larry was always sinister. I think his problem was just being too full of himself. He always undermined his control of Michael, despite being terrified of what he was capable of(you can see it in the clip I used in the video).

Yeah it was a little disappointing how they killed off Tyler Brennan. They made him out to be the smartest villian of the series against Michael. The 1 character michael couldn't con and never believed michael making it very hard for Michael to gain the upper hand whenever they faced off. But for some reason he had 100 percent trust in larry and big time underestimated him. In the end he went down like a fool. Which I can see where your coming from on not liking how they killed him off.

@@NaterTot I feel larry is alot like Darth Vader. He wasnt always bad but eventually went dark and saw that same darkness of hate and anger built up in Michael as well. He acted like a father figure teacher mentor to michael and I dont think he would ever truly have killed michael. Even Sam said larry has a soft spot for michael. Larry acted like Darth vader did with luke Skywalker in empire strikes back. He just wanted Michael to join him and embrace his dark side.

Burn Notice wasn't let go by the network, the cast decided they had enough of filming for 8 years.

Arguably it went a season too long. The cast made the right decision to let it go. It was an amazing, incredible show, one of my favorites of all time--but push anything for too long, and it's gonna get stale. I'm reminded of Adrian Paul's comment on his turn as The Highlander, another of my favorites: "Duncan Macleod is immortal, but I'm not."

@@50srefugee I love Season 7! But my son agrees with you and didn't like the last season.

​@@goby999it was a good season but feels really out of place at the same time compare with the rest.

I want, no, NEED a Burn Notice/Leverage crossover

I agree! I hope you stick around and check out my other content! :)

You and me both. No shame in it 😂

They didn't even try a cover there, Brennan called them out before they could get a word in so they opted for the "truth" which was still ultimately a cover.

It's my favorite tv show of all time

Welcome to the club! Glad you enjoyed it!

Nothing wrong with that, Rebecca. Enjoy the re-watch. :)

Right there with you!

Majority of these shows you named will also be on Lost and Found, here soon ;)

​@@NaterTot I know you did Psych (the first video of yours I saw) so I'm looking forward to you covering a lot of these shows. Oh, another great part about USA, when they promoted their shows they did it better than everyone else. The crossover commercials are classics. It sucks once Burn Notice ended they pretty much tossed aside Psych and White Collar (although Psychos got an additional two episodes, which btw, were they the first fan base of a non-scifi show to be named, I mean outside Trekies I can't think of too many before them, I could be mistaken, not something I looked into) and they abandoned all their shows other than Suits, why Sirens never had a chance to take off (I think that show could've had a good run if given a real shot)

It's unfortunate. I have hope for a Burn Notice film in the future. Bruce Campbell and Jeffrey Donovan have mentioned several times about the possibility happening. So, look forward to that possibly happening. I know for certain White Collar, Monk, Suits and Sirens will all be on here. Sirens was well written, funny and a pleasant little surprise. I don't think USA did enough to really support it. I did enjoy Mr. Robot the first season I watched it. Unfortunately, it didn't entirely keep my attention going forward. I'm not really sure why USA went away from the good guy shows they were doing so well making. I thought it made them 'unique'. It's a shame really.

@@NaterTot Well you just listed off my top shows from USA so there's 4 videos I'm looking forward to. I'll admit though I never actually saw Mr. Robot (but heard good things) and it's just as I said, they for some reason switched their strategy after Burn Notice and abandoned all of their original programming (other than Suits) and focused on promoting their syndication of Modern Family. So, you weren't a Royal Pains fan?

I watched a few episodes. I think being around hospital environments kinda turned me off to medical dramas. I did enjoy what I saw. It doesn't help that my log of show watching is HUGE. When I started this channel, I made basically a HUGE log of shows to review/provide perspective on. I tried to weed out the shows that were 'popular' or 'incredibly successful'. I think this series, at least in my mind, will run for a long time. I just hope I continue to grow and people continue to enjoy the content that I provide. Like I said before, check in every Friday (at least for now) for reviews.

Excellent idea. Looking forward😀👍👍👍

@@charlesray5949 Naahh..John wick plays on MUCH higher terms. John wick is John wick, and the High Table is no pod of suckers. Both sides are a fixed reality in straight cut-throat game of blood - Winner takes all. On a different note, Michael Western changes his technique constantly, for a wide variety of situations, which makes the story interesting in a light-hearted and different formula. Both work nicely, but in there own genre. It wouldn't work to cross the two into the same universe.

Bruce Campbell stated in an interview that Matt Nix and Jeffery Donovan were pitching ideas to script a movie to build off the series ending. Like most good shows and movies, coronavirus will probably delay that from being completed, but I'm definitely hoping they move forward with it.

@@7xchad WHAAAAT? You just made my day. Can you please post a link to the interview ?

Me too. Have them on DVD, but the menu music wakes me up. When Netflix removed it from their library, I was happy to see it was replaced on Amazon Prime.

When I started the channel I made an incredibly long list of shows and movies. Low audience. Low box office. Under appreciated. Etc. Tons more to come.

Did you ever watch Flashpoint (available on Prime)?

Honestly, Burn Notice is like the PG-13 version of Leverage. They're so similar in so many ways, but are so different that they make great shows in their own right - but BN adds more bullets, booms, and boobs.

Excellent suggestion, and hopefully Nater Tot might give consideration to move Leverage up his to-do list. I LOVE Leverage, more so than Burn Notice even. Leverage was intended to be -- and managed to be -- Mission Impossible with a sense of humor and far better character development. It was a genuine injustice (and act of idiocy) when the network killed it after the 5th season even though the show runners had (they said) a good two years of additional top-notch scripts in hand. Leverage, of course, has far, far, far less bloody gore or violence, but it has every bit as much heart ... and marvelously complex, satisfying storylines.

Oh, and forgot to say: (1) I particularly loved Leverage just because they filmed it in Portland, OR, where I lived (one episode was filmed blocks from my home). (2) The bad guy in the bank robbery episode that Nater Tot recommends was a regular semi-bad guy on Leverage ... always fun to see where actors end up; (3) and, finally -- interestingly -- Leverage ALSO had an episode where the crew finds themselves in the middle of a bank robbery. It's a far different set-up, and the resolution of it is also far different, but it too is one fantastic episode.

im on my eight time now i think ;)

I'm right there with you!

I'm finishing up my 3rd time lol I love the whole series but especially the first 3 seasons. So many great shows came out around this time. Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy, House, Dexter, 24...

Thank you! :)

Hope you love it!

I absolutely agree. Why i always relate so much to the show. It was just so much fun. Hope you subscribe and continue to support :)
