Suitsss!
Burn Noticceee!
SUITS!!!!
Suits is actually an enjoyable show.
Love SUITS!!! Was the best program on TV this summer!
I am feeling the BURN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BABY’
I’ve got the fever and the only cure is more “BURN NOTICE”
Can’t wait for November to see how Michael and team deal with CARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to admit the summer finale of BN was excellent. And the whole Card thing came out of nowhere, which presumably means it will lead to some new conspiracy. Card obviously had Anson killed, so there must be a connection.
When will USA announce series pickups?
I stopped watching Burn Notice a long time ago, but Suits is awesome.
Suits is #1 because Gabriel Macht is HOT!
USA is the best cable station hands down.
Too bad. I dropped Burn Notice about two months ago and can’t seem to get into Suits even though I’m trying. The only show of their I enjoy is White Collar.
Love both these shows. Both have excellent scripting, acting, and action. Far superior to anything on the networks. Can’t wait for them to return!
Not surprise at all;Suits is (quality-wise speaking),the best show on tv.
Suits has the BEST cast of characters/actors and witers. They fit together like expensive clothing, congratulations USA
