What if Macgyver and Awesome had a baby?

 

I’m kind of a busy guy,  between working, playing in a band, and writing for you fine people, I don’t get a lot of time watch T.V.  Thank god for Tivo.  Not only will it save your life (watch Tropical Thunder), but it will also allow you to watch TV shows no matter what time your are home.  Right now your thinking “I know that Dr. Awesome”.  So on to my real point. 

I know Macgyver was making sweet, sweet love to Awesome in the 80’s, but did that love produce and Macgyver/Awesome offspring?

Burn Notice.  That’s Right Burn Notice.  It’s the best show on TV.  Here is the rundown.  Michael Westen (good name….I know right) Was a spy.  He got Burned (Fired) and now lives in Miami, Fl.  not Miami, AZ for those of you wondering.  Westen (that’s what I call him) isn’t saving a town with the population of 1,841 (according to wikipedia and the 2006 census).  So he runs around Miami with his crew (That’s what I call them) Fiona (Westen’s ex) and Sam (ex Navy SEAL). 

As the people who burned Westen (we don’t know who they really are) make him do crazy jobs for them, he also helps out regular joes in Miami.  He often does Jobs for free because he has a very strong sense of right and wrong.  Just like his father Macgyver… OK. OK. Macgyver is not Westens dad, But wouldn’t that be a awesome plot twist…  I think Richard Dean Anderson (R.D.A. to friends like me) is free.  Isn’t he does with Stargate? 

I know what you are thinking, “How is a show about a fired spy, and a show about a Canadian super hero alike”?  well I will tell you.  Just like in Macgyver Westen helps out those less fortunate than himself.  Often helping out his family and friends of his family.  He also makes crazy things (i.e. Bugs and X ray machines) out of things like cell phones, old TV’s, and PVC pipe.  Now try to tell me that is not Macgyver-like. 

So Check out Burn Notice.  It’s on the U.S.A. Network.  You’ll be glad you did. 

 

Awesome out

P.S. this is a trailer for the show.  tell me you don’t love this…
