Please to A'splain Fool's Lantern: [More:]

Is The Closer worth the hype?

Is Saving Grace as annoying as it looks?

The Hills is just a crappy MTV soap, right?

What is Burn Notice?
Dunno about any of the others, but I've seen a few episodes of Burn Notice, and while it's not exactly a masterpiece, I find it enjoyable. It has Bruce Campbell in a supporting role. The main character is a CIA field agent who has been disowned by the agency without explanation. He is left without funds or support, and lands in Miami to try to figure out who ordered him cut off and why, all the while paying the bills by taking on odd jobs. Some of it is actually quite funny (I think, YMMV.)

It'd be hard to find, unless I wanted to get a torrent.

My wife watches the Closer and I sort of half pay attention. It seems well acted but I've never actually focused on it enough to say if the plots are any good. But that says more about my ADD than the quality of the show.

I like The Closer - I've seen a few episodes and the cast seems pretty solid.

When I first read that list I thought Saving Grace was that comedy from the 90's with Brett Butler (?? - blonde woman, kinda manish?), so I was a bit surprised to see it there. FWIW, I have never seen, or heard of, any of these shows.

I quite like Burn Notice and the Closer. I really don't like 'reality' tv, so it's nice to have some options.

Bruce Campbell? I'll watch it. Thanks. Now if I can only figure what # USA Network is on DirecTV.

My Gawd. WWE RAW? Close to the top of the Nielson's. Wow.

What's Fool's Lantern?

I am sad. Will settle for virtual hugs. || A question, and a PSA:
