2 Hits and a big miss. Do yourselves a favor and watch Burn Notice. It is by far the best show of the year. Psyche I had never heard of until watching BN; and after catching a few episodes I have laughed my a$$ off. Ignore Flash Boredom it is horrible. There are actually petitions on the Flash boards at scifi.com to have it cancelled. One funny thing was the poster who said Ming the Merciless is more like Ming the Mildly Annoyed.

I like Burn Notice too. I watched it for the second time last night. Smart, sarcastic and witty without being dumbed down.

Hang on, are you saying they have made a TV show of Flash Gordon?

"Flash Gordon" is utterly craptacular. It PAINS me to think that SciFi is investing money and screen time in that abomination, whilst our beloved Firefly drifts ever closer to the Scrap Belt.

I agree. Burn Notice is a great new show. Psych is very funny this year. It seems as though the writing for it is a little different. It is slightly more tongue in cheek this season. And I wasn't very impressed with Flash Gordon either. It is about as good as Painkiller Jane. I watch it, but I don't know why.

Well, at least Sci-Fi Fridays aren't completely wasted. We still have the greatness that is Doctor Who, and I hear that Painkiller Jane is supposed to be decent. But Flash Gordon? I cringe every time I see the commercials for that. Wasn't the movie torture enough?

Ok, Burn Notice is my big gotta see show right now. I've been a fan of Jeffrey Donovan for years. I'm glad Burn Notice seems to be doing better than Touching Evil, his last show with USA. And look! Bruce Campbell!

Psych is also good but I'm not a huge fan. I watch it now and then but it's just not my kind of show. Light fun.

Flash Gordon. You should have seen my dad (who is old enough to remember some of the original Flash Gordon serials) when I told him this was happening. It was worth a laugh. I did give it a shot and was decidedly underwhelmed. I didn't think it was completely horrible (at least the girl seemed clever) but it's not really worth the effort of changing the channel to it. Maybe it will improve. Maybe not.

Ric, count yourself lucky that you were not able to see the new Flash Gordon. The Sci-Fi channel has chosen to invest in a bad show (not a bad premise).

Ming is not Ming. Horrible casting and makeup and costume. Just bad. Flash and Dale weren't miscast, I think both are fine choices for the parts, it's the writing and delivery that suck.

I say skip it. If you happen to get a chance to see it, have a book handy to read when you get bored.

Saw Burn Notice for the second time last night. I love it. The writing is so good.

Especially when Bruce Campbell told the couple he trying to intimidate that he was "Detective Cagney and this is Detective Lacey" indicating Fiona.

It was made all the more funny because Sharon Gless (Detective Cagney from the long running "Cagney and Lacey")is playing Jeffrey Donovan's chain smoking Mom.

How have i never even Heard of this "Burn Notice"??
If it has Bruce Campbell, I'm in. Where and When is it on???

I've seen 1, or 2 episodes of Psych, it was allright, but didn't grab me enough to seek it out.

as for Flash....
I've "seen" both episodes, out of the corner of my eye while surfing... the premise has promise, just needs a better team behind the scenes.
I tried Watching Pain Killer Jane, but got too bored 5 minutes into the pilot, and never looked back.

But Yes, God Bless Sci-Fi For Airing Doctor Who.
now if i only got BBC america....
