Burn Notice TV Show

From The South Bend Tribune:

Jeffrey Donovan and Bruce Campbell recently did a conference call with reporters to promote the second season of “Burn Notice,” which returns 10 p.m., Thursday on the USA Network.

Even though I used the best material for a weekly Remote Control column, which appeared in our June 29 print edition, there were a few more quips from the two stars that I wanted to share.

“Burn Notice” centers around Michael Westen, a spy who has been exiled to his hometown of Miami after getting booted from the espionage community for reasons that he’s still trying to figure out.

So here’s an extra dose of Donovan and Campbell just in time for the Season 2 premiere:

Q: Have you used any of the skills in real life that your character Michael Westen has done on the show:

JD: I’m following all my friends now. And boy do I have dirt. Wait until it comes out.

Q: No, seriously.

JD: I live out in the woods of California and there are a lot less rodents there from what I’ve learned from “Burn Notice.” No one can break into my house anymore. And if they do, I’ve put up a sign. It says “I don’t call 911.”

Q: OK, so does any of that spy stuff actually work?

JD: Everything that we do in the show, you actually can make at home. (Creator) Matt (Nix) keeps a couple of ingredients out of the bombs just so no one, you know, blows up little Timmy.

Q: Tricia Helfer of “Battlestar Galactica” has joined the cast this season. What was it like to work with her?

JD: She shot all of her stuff in one day. I wish I had her agent. And, you know, she’s wonderful. She’s beautiful. She’s really smart. If she wasn’t already married, she’s marriage material.

Q: Bruce, your character Sam, Michael’s friend, has almost brought you into the mainstream. If the show gets more popular this season are you afraid of shedding your cult status and becoming a huge star?

BC: Yes, I’m terrified. And as a matter of fact, I have put plans in place to sabotage the show.

Q: So is that why you’re directing, co-producing and starring in the horror film “My Name is Bruce” this fall?

BC: I have to prove to the world that I can memorize more than seven lines of dialogue at a time.

Q: Many people still associate you with Ash, your character from the “Evil Dead” films, what kind of reactions have you received from “Burn Notice” fans about your past work?

BC: It’s kind of hilarious and I think it’s very refreshing to have a guy come up and go ‘Man, I had no idea who that old guy was on “Burn Notice,” you know, until I found out later what you had done.’

Q: I know the WGA strike pushed your schedule back a little. It must be pretty hot these days taping in Miami, how has it rearranged your lives?

JD: I’m wearing a lot more Speedos.

BC: And I’m sweating more. That’s my change. That’s what I’ve changed. I stopped shivering in Oregon and starting sweating in Miami.

Q: Jeffrey, has Matt Nix ever told you anything about the yogurt? It seems that’s all Michael ever eats?

JD: It’s Matt’s crazy, insane mind. And for some reason, every time I open the fridge in the script it said all there is, is yogurt. And then when Sam joins me it’s beer. So all I’m living on is yogurt and beer.

Q: Has Michael forgiven Sam for spying on him for the feds this season?

JD: Well I think when you deal in espionage and covert ops, you’re never truly trusting the other. But with Sam and Michael, Michael doesn’t have really any friends. So I think he depends on Sam and Fiona, and that Sam was put into a difficult position was understandable. And so I think he forgave him and it’s kind of water under the bridge. But I don’t think the complete suspicion, the little suspicion I mean, is completely gone.

BC: Sam is handy for explaining missions and, you know, chewing the fat with Michael and kicking ideas around. And hopefully the loyalty issue is solved now. Sam’s in it to win it.

Q: What can we expect from Gabrielle Anwar’s character, Fiona, this season? More pain?

JD: That’s a crazy relationship that’s going to have its ups and downs. And it’s going to go left, right and all around, and it’ll be exciting. Some of the episodes I actually don’t read until I get on the day just so I can see what crazy thing she’s going to do to me that day.

Q: Is it different for you guys taping this season now that the show is a success? Is there anything you’re doing differently?

JD: We just keep trying to do what we did before it went on air, which was just try to make a show that we’d want to watch and hopefully people do.

USA’s sunny, summery favorite hits DVD with commentary tracks and a bikini-reel

Burn Notice,” which premiered on USA last year, is a quintessential summer show. Set against a Miami backdrop that guarantees clear blue skies and writhing, tanned hardbodies, “Burn Notice” is flashy, clever and tightly paced.

As unceremoniously unemployed intelligent operative Michael Wesson and his IRA-trained ex-girlfriend Fiona, Jeffrey Donovan and Gabrielle Anwar are one of TV’s best-looking duos, while Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless provide capable support along with a rotating cadre of guest villains and damsels-in-distress. The first season of “Burn Notice,” on DVD Tuesday (June 17) in anticipation of the next round of new episodes, isn’t anything more than bubble gum, but given its thin premise — Mike’s stuck in Miami trying to find out who burned him and why — it keeps its flavor far longer than one might expect.

Watched in a large burst — say, 11 episodes in a week — and “Burn Notice” remains diverting, but it also becomes a bit repetitive. There are only so many times you can watch somebody take apart a cheap cell phone, bug a car or mix up low-grade explosives in the kitchen and the show’s main character seems to do all three in every single episode. Also, the integration of the show’s procedural aspects — usually simple cases requiring complicated undercover hijinx — and the ongoing serial aspects — Mike only seems to gain new info in the last five minutes of every episode — is pretty shoddy.

DVD Bonus Features:

The Good: “Burn Notice” isn’t a spectacularly deep or complicated show, but Donovan, Anwar, Campbell, Gless and creator Matt Nix take the time to do scene-specific commentary on every single episode under the menu heading “Get Burned.” More involved episodes have commentary on eight or nine scenes, while some of the episodes in the middle only have three or four scenes. Campbell’s legion of fans won’t be surprised to know that his insights are the funniest and smartest, though he usually takes a back seat to the rest of the gang in the booth. At their best, the comments cover the interesting aspects of shooting on location and working off a relatively small budget. At their worst, the cast members just laugh at how funny they are, leaving viewers on the outside.

The Bad: The last disc in the four-disc set contains only one episode, the two-hour finale, so it also includes a series of mostly banal little featurettes, mostly hastily assembled montages of different familiar aspects of the show. There’s a character montage, an assortment of action scenes and a by-the-numbers gag reel. For many viewers, the highlight will be the “Girls Gone ‘Burn Notice’” featurette, a two-minute rush of bikinis and short skirts. Thrown together in a rush, they make a cohesive argument that “Burn Notice” may be the “Baywatch” of its generation. The package also includes Donovan and Anwar’s audition reels. Straight forward behind-the-scenes featurettes are usually dull, but “Burn Notice” suffers from the absence of that kind of basic doc.

Congrats! If you’re a fan of Burn Notice.
