Angry BURN NOTICE Cancelled

Channel 10 has cancelled Burn Notice, until later in the year. !!!!
They had only just started showing season 2 .They are replacing it with some crappy show.
BURN NOTICE is one of the few excellent shows on TV. Just like 7 took off The Unit !!!
When will tv executives realise we all don't want reality crap !!!!!!!!!

Well are you going to ask them and then tell us all????

TEN seem to do some really strange things sometimes. Maybe they will be better after December when the full multi channelling becomes legal.

But as I've said before and I'll say again. Channel Bit Torrent. Don't have to live with commercials or the bone headed decisions of Aussie TV execs.

I hope you use protection when using BT - good way of getting a C&D letter/email from your ISP and/or the media attack dog companies.

Usenet, I hear, is a much better place to watch tv!

Its the most unrealistic show ever. He has an answer for everything like he's been in every single situation imaginable. I wonder if, I could be like him with a burn notice, walk around Miami everyday blowing sh^t up, shooting people etc and not get caught. Because that's realistic.

Its more of a crappy action / comedy show (I use that word loosely) and its no wonder it got cancelled. I just hope it never comes back.

Burn Notice is a cool show. I've recently started getting into it. Season 2 is currently on overseas. Channel 10 was only about 4 episodes behind the US so maybe that's why they stopped it for a while?
Usenet is a great friend to have :
