TV: Week of June 1

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 7:33 pm

I believe we really had one week off between the end of the regular season of network shows (with a few of them finally ending this week) and the beginning of the summer shows. There will be even more premiering next week, but this week we have the return of Burn Notice, which seems to fit in better in the summer than when it shows episodes in the winter.

Season Finales: Medium, According to Jim, Law & Order: SVU, Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, Law & Order, Make Me a Supermodel

Pick of the Week

Burn Notice
Channel: USA
Time: 9/8c
Starring: Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell, Sharon Gless, Tricia Helfer,  Seth Peterson
Premieres: Thursday, June 4
Trailer

Synopsis: Michael is free from the group that burned him, but now the police are after him.

My Take: The show is at its best when it shows us how to make weird devices with ordinary items like MacGuyer and when there is the boiling over chemistry between Michael and Fiona.

Some of it was a bit too corny, while other parts were hilarious, especially Jessalyn Gilsig’s character as the main character’s whiny wife. I loved the bit about her talking about their puzzle night. I think if the music remains as catchy, I might watch it. I was trying to figure out why I did like the singing parts and then I realized that this show is a grown up version of Kids, Inc. and I loved that show growing up. I wonder if Fergie will make a guest appearance.
