Burn Notice this, Burn Notice that…
By fred | July 10, 2008
Yes, you’ve probably heard about it, it’s quite difficult not to have heard about it in fact : tonight on USA premieres the second season of their summer hit Burn Notice. If you’ve never watched the show, I’ll echo what Jeffrey Donovan said about the show : it’s “a summer show, there’s nothing else on, it’s got action and there are some pretty hot women on the show“.
What what’s the problem ? Just tune in at 10.00 on USA and enjoy!
But over at NBC, not everyone is happy about this. Someone who works for Late Night, Aaron Bleyaert, exploded on Late Night Insider because he couldn’t stand it anymore. Well, it’s nothing against the show really, in fact he thought “it was a pretty awesome show. It was smart. It was funny. It was action packed. It had the totally awecellent and hilarious Bruce Campbell“, which doesn’t sound that bad to me, does it?
But here’s the thing, NBC - who owns USA - is over-promoting the show, even on the inside. They’re putting giant plastic poster for Burn Notice in each and every elevator over there, and some people can’t stand it no more, understandably.
And I’ll have to agree with him on this one, it doesn’t sound a bit too much. Do they really have that much money they don’t know how to spend it ? If so, just give me a call I’ll find another way to get ride of all of it, don’t worry. Also, why can’t NBC think about promoting other shows, starting with the amazing Life which last aired in 2007 and maybe, just maybe, some reruns and promotion could help, you know, to sell more DVDs and get people to tune in October 3rd when the second season will premiere.
Anyways, back to Aaron. He was pissed, he ranted about it on the late night blog, and also had some fun with the posters, as hinted by the picture previously seen in this post. To read his entire (funny) rant, see more pictures and read about the giant sand castle with the Burn Notice characters on it, head on to The Late Night Insider !
