Latest episode clacks for this show:
With summer officially starting, the week brought more premieres from ABC, and over on cable. The news was good for some (‘Rookie Blue’, ‘Futurama’, ‘Memphis Beat’), and not so good for others (‘Scoundrels’, ‘Boston Med’).
As always, most of this episode of ‘Burn Notice’ was enjoyable. I found myself irritated by several things that just kept irking me throughout the episode — am I alone?
The NBA Finals again made for a banner week over at ABC. On cable, HBO execs can breathe a sigh of relief. The return of ‘True Blood’ means someone is watching again. And TV Land found success with their first original sitcom.
The big numbers on broadcast last week came from the NBA Finals and ‘Glee’. Over on cable, Chumlee was a bigger demo draw than even Michael Westen as ‘Pawn Stars’ returned to more great numbers.
I’m still on the fence as to whether or not Jesse’s presence is going to help or hurt the chemistry amongst the characters on ‘Burn Notice,’ but I do know that this series is still delivering awesome character-driven moments in every episode.
The summer television season kicked off last week with premieres from ‘America’s Got Talent’, ‘Wipeout’, ‘Losing It With Jillian’, ‘Hell’s Kitchen’, ‘Burn Notice’, and ‘Royal Pains’.
I’m not sure how I could ever think ‘Burn Notice’ has gotten stale when it returns with a season premiere as awesome as this one was.
