"Burn Notice" recruits Tyne Daly

I am a huge Burn Notice fan. Can't wait to see Cagney and Lacey together again on such a great show. Woo hoo!

OMG I was JUST watching QAF. I'm only on episode 5 lol don't tell me what happens!! She looks way better on the orange shawl sp? photo than in QAF! (she had bad fashion). Was Lori really like Brian before she met Sarah? lol

anyways, gonna watch the Graham Norton clip :)

oh and, hadn't heard of the show. Does being a 20yr old English girl give me an excuse? Was it shown in the UK?

I've only seen one episode of BN - the one where Dina Meyer played Michael's ex-fiancee, Samantha. I was pleasantly surprised to see Sharon Gless on the show. I didn't know anything about the show previously.  It would be great to have a Sharon/Tyne reunion again.

...watch an episode here and there. But I don't get. What is this show about really? I usually love every show I ever watch (I know, TV geek) but this one just confuses me...

The main character was in covert operations - basically very deep cover CIA agent. He was framed for double crossing a number of people in his last deal and was therefore 'burned' meaning that his US government contacts were no longer willing or able to work with him, including freezing his bank accounts/IDs, everything. So, he got dropped in Miami where his mom lives and only two other people will dare work with him - a former agent (FBI, I think) and his ex-girlfriend who is a freelance agent, who is sometimes (read mostly) on the wrong side of the law, but really, really hot. Anyhoo - for quite a while he was trying to figure out who burned him and recently was able to do so and is now on his own, but also no longer under their protection - he wants to get back with the CIA, but still isn't able to. In any case, there's a lot of shooting, explosions, running, accents and overall hotness that goes on. Also, there's a good bit of yogurt eating. I would try and catch it online or via iTunes from the beginning.

Sadly, there are youngsters on here that don't remember the golden age of television that was Cagney & Lacey. Christine Cagney was so amazing...there are no words to this day of how she made me feel! Check out some YouTube or tv.com clips and everybody get on board. Please, BN make this happen...

Love Burn Notice, loved Cagney & Lacey, and would love to see this happen.  That's a lotta love.

While playing the sister would be fun and would allow for future appearances on the show, I think I'd rather see her play an old adversary of Madeline's.  Someone who used to be a friend before they had a huge falling out, perhaps over a man, perhaps Michael's father.  Now Madeline runs into her in Miami, and in between their verbal jabs at each other, it is revealed that Tyne's character is in a bit of trouble.  So then, guess what happens, Madeline has a heart and gets Michael to help her.  By the end of the episode, the two are friends again.. but still verbal sparring partners, because they're both fiesty ladies.  Then Tyne's character, problem now solved, leaves Miami with a rather touching farewell to Madeline.  The End.

I had absolutely no idea that she was from C&L! I admit, I'm part of that horrible new generation of lesbians who haven't watched Cagney & Lacey, but I've read enough about it to be fond of it. I tried it one day, but I'm afraid that I simply struggle to get into any series from that decade, regardless of the attraction of the main characters.

But. on Burn Notice, Gless has been an amusing, entertaining, and just plain fun addition to the cast. I'm so glad to see that both Gless & Tyne have continued to do so well post-C&L. I hope that we can actually experience their chemistry on Burn Notice--I'd love to see the spark that so many C&L lovers talk about.

Well I will take any excuse to comment about Sharon Gless - LOVE her.

Oh God, I loved Cagney and Lacey - I didn't realise it at the time but I was writing fan fic about Christine Cagney when I was 14. Come to think of I've never really gotten over it - I'm still crushing on tough but vulnerable women to this day.

I've not heard of this show, I don't think its on in the UK but I will definitely look for clips on YT and even more so if Tyne Daly gets in on it too. (If they do it, they will definitely have to have a 'conference' in the Ladies' loos) They were a fanastic pairing and its great to see that they are such good friends still. And thanks for posting the link to the Graham Norton show - always worth watching again, so so hilarious.

^^ burnt notice was on in the uk a few months ago, i think it was on one of the freeview channels.

i managed to see rosie years ago and absolutely loved it. 

C&L back together again? oh yes please!

 

I love Burn Notice!!! I LOVE Gabrielle Anwar! She's soo hot in this show! Something about a girl who knows how to build explosives and blow stuff up just gets me! And I love her relationship with Michael..they're so cute!

Burn Notice is already one of my favorite shows on television - this is just the icing on the cake. Can't wait to see these two reunited!

I love it when AE celebrates the old broads, too. Thanks, AE.

I love Burn Notice with a passion...I think Tyne Daly would be AWESOME as Gabe Anwar's mother. Can you just imagine it? :-)
