Plus: TBS orders a comedy from Scrubs' creator Bill Lawrence and Adult Swim picks up Dan Harmon's latest project.
Plus: Return dates for Burn Notice and Suits, promotions for a few Walking Dead survivors, and another reality show for Syfy.
Plus: Tim Roth gets a new gig, American Idol hits a series low, and a Chuck Kickstarter movie?
"You Can Run" and "Game Change" satisfied in terms of providing answers, but overall functioned as one episode's worth of action stretched into two.
Heading into the finale, I approve of the smaller, realistic adventure in "Odd Man Out," even though it amounted to people being stuck in an unfamiliar building, because it'll make the usual conclusive fireworks pop that much more.
While "Best Laid Plans" offered legitimate obstacles in moving the season plot forward, its weaker moments smacked of time-biding on the way to more interesting, hard answers.
While Burn Notice has seen its share of special guest-stars, Patton Oswalt's turn on the spy-go-round felt especially tailored to give the comedian-actor a sampler plate of espionage life. Outside of that, "Down and Out" was mostly a ho-hum, mission-client adventure.
We've got an exclusive sneak peek at this week's episode courtesy of our pals at USA, and it looks like we may be in for quite the face-off between Olivia Riley and Maddie...
"Over the Line" was a certain kind of Burn Notice affair, one without an external client that instead focused on the group's survival as a cohesive unit.
Burn Notice came back the only way it knows how: full force and chockablock with a blueprint for future intrigue.
USA finally pulls the trigger on its long-running spy drama with a slightly shortened order for a new season.
Royal Pains actually gets a two-season pickup, while the others get 16 more episodes apiece.
Twists! Turns! Yep, it's the Burn Notice Season 6 summer finale, and there were some explosions up in there.
What mainly made this episode shine was a rare interweaving of plotlines and some refreshing partnership swaps that kept things feeling alive and organic.
There wasn't anything too special about "Unchained"—pretty much just a cruise control-type outing, though the scenery was just fine.
I will be among those who miss Nate, but if it means possibly getting to see Sam's world grow before our very eyes then his death was worth it.
Usually the random emotional scenes at the end of Burn Notice episodes have me rolling my eyes, but this one had me in a frown-quiver normally reserved for re-watching the ending of Six Feet Under on YouTube.
We've got a last-minute exclusive sneak peek of tonight's episode to tide you over until airtime.
Plus: A conservative group boycotts The New Normal, Revenge's Emily has a mom, and DirecTV and Viacom kiss and make up.
Even Shakespeare knew his dramas couldn't all be high-octane, stabby-town bloodbaths from start to finish. "Last Rites" was enjoyable in a more laid-back, non-bullets-and-explosions sort of way.
