‘Burn Notice’ leaves spy out in cold

To the obsessive-compulsive detective of “Monk” and the frankly fake
psychic of “Psych,” the USA Network is about to add the irreverent spy
of “Burn Notice.”

Too bad they couldn’t come up with a catchy one-syllable title -
“Mole”? - because this new series and its brash, breezy hero slide
smoothly into the crime-and-comedy genre the cable channel does so well.

A “burn notice,” we learn from the voiceover narration of agent
Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan, “Touching Evil”), is what a spy gets
instead of a pink slip.

Michael gets burned at an inconvenient time, to say the least.
