The first disc of season 1 is waiting for me at home, precisely because of your and M's enthusastic recommendation. See? I do listen to you.

Of course it is. Schiff doesn't show up until close to the last episode.

When having a gig is a negative, I ponder...

[new-man.livejournal.com]

It wasn't a Boston Babydolls gig. It was a thing I was doing... which seems to have evaporated. So,

- no gig
+ I get to watch Burn Notice

I've been catching up on season 1 via the repeats. My TiVo will record the new episode, tonight, but I might not get to watch it until after the weekend (depends how the organizing/packing goes).

hurray for the return!
I've been waiting almost a year **stupid USA**
although, I'd kinda like Gabrielle Anwar to have the brogue again...

Stupid USA

I think it's got at least a little to do with the TV writer's strike.

You want to come by and watch the premiere?

[rishikanta.livejournal.com]

In so much as they saw the writer's strike looming last summer, maybe.
When season one ended, the closing credits hadn't even finished rolling when they cut in to say that season two would be back in this summer (though I believe they said June '08).

I think the strike had more to do with the delay of "In Plain Sight," as they were heavily plugging that as "Burn Notice" wound down but it didn't premier until May.

As for the invite, thank you.
It would be fun to watch this show with others (instead of by myself with the a/c cranked, like last year).
Unfortunately for my tv-watching social life, I'm in Santa Cruz, CA until at least September. But again, thanks :)

I guess I missed a memo... I know I hadn't seen you in a while. What are you doing out in California?
