Burn Notice
During the summer, I get so tired of re-runs. I love it when I find a show that has it's season premiere in the summertime. USA Network's Burn Notice starts June 28. Yay! A new show that looks good for the summertime!
The main character, Michael, is a spy who gets a "burn notice". A burn notice is basically saying you're on the "black list" for any agency, but he doesn't know why he's been let go. I got to thinking, I wonder what he could have done!
I bet Michael was hot on the trail of a crook named 'Grumpy Gus'. Grumpy Gus was known to frequent the movie theater to see all the new releases. Michael had tracked Gus down and followed him to the theater to see the newest Spiderman movie. Looking through his binoculars, Michael noticed the sign on the door that read, "Help Desperately Wanted--Apply Within!"
Michael thought to himself, "hmmm, I could stand to earn a bit of extra dough on the side so I can afford that vacation in the Bahamas I've been dreaming of." Michael walked into the theater and asked to speak with the manager.
Next thing he knew, Michael was dawning the little red vest with the black bow tie and the plastic name tag. "Would you like butter with that?" would be the only words Michael would mutter for the next 6 hours. Michael didn't realize how hard it would be to deal with the general public, most of which are late for their movie and tired of standing in line. He seemed to take the brunt of their lack of patience.
During this time, he was still keeping an eye on Gus. Gus not only loved the flicks, but he loved the popcorn and the Milk Duds. Every time Michael was working, Gus came to get a large popcorn and a box of Milk Duds. Michael started to befriend Gus. Gus just thought Michael was your typical teen making a few extra bucks for gas for his car or to take his girlfriend out to dinner.
Gus and Michael had gotten so friendly that Michael had been invited to Gus' penthouse for a party. Michael showed up and saw that Gus wasn't only a cinema fan, but also a fan of the outdoors. The penthouse had plants everywhere! Even some potted plants that Michael didn't recognize. As the music was playing and the alcohol was flowing, Michael began to loosen up a little.
Knock, knock, knock. Michael went to open the door and it was the Police. The young policewoman, not recognizing Michael, asked his name. Michael couldn't help but hit on the young policewoman since her beauty was astounding! She then said, "Michael, you're under arrest!" It turned out that the potted plants that weren't recognized by Michael were the secret ingredient in the brownies that he'd eaten so many of. Michael then passed out.
Upon awakening, he was sitting in a cell in the police station. The officer finally came and told him that Gus had said he was the owner of the penthouse and it was his party. "Oh, snap!" Michael thought to himself, "why didn't I arrest Gus when I had the chance?" He tried to explain that it wasn't his place, but the Police Chief wasn't buying it. He had documentation proving otherwise. How Gus got that paperwork with Michael's name on it, he'll never know.
Well, I'm sure USA network will have a much better reason for Michael to have been fired. Go check out http://www.usanetwork.com/series/burnnotice to find out the real reason!
