Returning: Burn Notice

By David Knox on July 31, 2009 / Filed Under Programming 32

burn_noticeBurn Notice fans you have been heard.

The show is back at 9:30pm Thursday August 20th on TEN.

The episode is “Double Booked” S2E8.

Fans of the show, oughta get behind this one. I suspect TEN is a bit dubious this will work, but they are hearing some love for it so I’d be getting behind this one. At least that’s the way I read this, based on previous conduct of shuffling, dumping and fan protest.

It also helps that the series just won another renewal in the US.

    I for one can’t wait for Burn Notice to come back, it’s been far too long. This show rates really well on USA Network in the US and is a nice change from all the reality shows on TV. I’ve already seen all the episodes courtesy of the internet but I’m thrilled it’s finally back on TV here.

    This is such good news!!!! My whole family loves Burn Notice. Channel 10 – Keep it in a decent slot! and keep it rolling. Please….

    Finally!! I’ve seen these episodes, but it makes me wish I had Oztam box, so it sticks around for all the fans who haven’t seen it.

    Been too long. Love the series and will watch, but only to bide time until season 2 is out on region 4 dvd – any ideas when?

  6. ant August 5, 2009 at 12:25 am -

    So happy to hear this is comign back!! It’s huge in the US, being shown on several channels, with promos and comps and all kinds of things. It’s a great, fun show. I don’t understand why it didn’t do better but being shafted around didn’t help.

    Pete, they played those episodes during the Olympics last year. This is where Ten are up to.

    Ryan, I have already watched and enjoyed these episodes. Ten only care if people with Oztam boxes are watching.

    I love this show with a passion but can I ask why it’s not starting at Episode 1 Season 2? Its a shame not to see the previous episodes of Season 2….it should be common sense hey?

  9. Ross August 1, 2009 at 11:46 pm -

    Great news. I’ll be watching.

  10. Jason August 1, 2009 at 8:27 pm -

    Cool – I like this show, it’s like a throwback to Miami Vice or something – hopefully it clicks here this time.

  11. ryan August 1, 2009 at 2:17 pm -

    its not about having a people meter!! its about enjoying a great show and spreading the word.

  12. Belinda August 1, 2009 at 10:10 am -

    I would watch these again on Ten, but I don’t have an Oztam box. Good to see it back though. Agree that they need better ads for it.

  13. Rod August 1, 2009 at 8:04 am -

    Now all I need is a peoplemeter!

  14. ryan August 1, 2009 at 4:30 am -

    something different on thur other than ci might work though, i would predict 1st ep 870,000

  15. ryan August 1, 2009 at 4:21 am -

    i agree with david, if you like the show then spread the word and try get more people talking about it and that its back!!
    wed 9.30 would have been a better slot for it as thursdays 9.30 are actually doing ok in ratings where as wed 9.30 house gets like under 600,00

  16. Russell August 1, 2009 at 3:45 am -

    Burn Notice is huge in the US
    It’s now the #1 show on cable in the US, with ratings that put it way ahead of many network I love the show. Hoping Ten sticks with it and let’s it grow.

  17. Amanda August 1, 2009 at 2:59 am -

    yeah it helps that it won a new season but it does hurt cause its been off so long. Get a clue 10 for once then maybe people wont download shows and will watch it on tv

  18. ryan August 1, 2009 at 1:46 am -

    Cheers David Mott For listening to us, it means alot to viewers when we know out network listens to us:)
    sooooo cant wait! love this show!

  19. koverstreet August 1, 2009 at 1:13 am -

    This will be axed in no time. It’s a fairly ordinary show and the main female actor is terrible with no charisma & her character is dreadful. Hopefully it’s not around for long. Would have preferred TEN put the excellent In Plain Sight here instead of at midnight.

    And lol at being better then Castle. Almost anything is better then that show. It’s derivative and incredibly cliched.

  20. RichoTB July 31, 2009 at 10:07 pm -

    Ten have 9 episodes to go this season, and season 3 has already started in the US, so they have plenty of episodes in the stockpile. I’m not sure how this will rate though, I predict 700k.

  21. George July 31, 2009 at 8:44 pm -

    Awesome! I thought Burn Notice was a great show, and doubled up with Rush it’ll be a great Thursday night combination!
    Fingers crossed it’ll start to rate much better. It isn’t really up against stiff competition in that timeslot.

  22. bindi July 31, 2009 at 8:42 pm -

    i’ll watch but since i don’t have a ratings box i may as well not exist.

  23. Tepee July 31, 2009 at 8:41 pm -

    From what I’ve seen of BN it is similar in tone and subject matter to Rush so this may well work. Or it could fail spectacularly.

  24. Harry July 31, 2009 at 8:12 pm -

    I think it’s too late Ten. Hope it at least rates above 800, 000, watched an episode once, pretty dull, the lead annoys me.

  25. Neon Kitten July 31, 2009 at 7:06 pm -

    It’s been so long I can’t remember what’s happened in this season so far…!

    As the worst-looking HD show on the planet, though, at least being consigned to the Ten SD dumpster won’t hurt especially much. In fact, it’ll probably smooth out the grain :-D

    This is an excellent pulp fiction television show. It sure as hell beats yet another reality series. A thoroughly acceptable way to waste some time in front of the box. It harks back to the old underdog heroes, asks the viewer to jump on the fantasy wagon, plus the actors themselves do a superb job.

  27. Craig July 31, 2009 at 6:53 pm -

    Again too late TEN!

  28. Goonies July 31, 2009 at 6:40 pm -

    Again, not constructive but this show is also garbage IMO and should be in the bin where it belongs.

    If they try and advertise the lead as a sex symbol again I am going to need a bucket in my loungeroom.

  29. Zambora July 31, 2009 at 6:26 pm -

    Burn Notice was enjoyable to watch,getting lead in by Rush should help.

  30. Janey July 31, 2009 at 5:45 pm -

    I love this show! I think it is better than Castle, and deserves to rate just as well. Rush into Burn Notice makes a great crime double both having action and humour, so hopefully it will hold onto the same audience. Can’t wait.

  31. Luke July 31, 2009 at 5:36 pm -

    Can’t wait to get back into it!

  32. Matthew See July 31, 2009 at 5:16 pm -

    Yeah look forward to see this show back again.
