Re: [scifinoir2] "Leverage" Season Finale
Yep, most fun stuff on cable. Oh: I forget to mention that Paul Blackthorne of "The Dresden Files" had a throwaway part as the big bad guy in the "Leverage" finale. - Original Message - From: "Martin Baxter" To: "SciFiNoir2" Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 3:23:16 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] "Leverage" Season Finale Missed it entirely, Keith.

Pretty good, took a couple of surprising turns, had a good cliffhanger ending (as all shows like this and "Burn Notice" do). Good fun show, not too dramatic, just breezy fun. I think I compared a lot of the cable shows like this and "Burn Notice" to the fun shows of old I used to enjoy, like "The Rockford Files", "I Spy", "Man from UNCLE". I've said this before, but more and more I find that the majority of shows I watch regularly are on cable: Leverage, Burn Notice, White Collar, Psych, In Plain Sight, The Closer, Saving Grace. Throw in some cartoons like Secret Saturdays, Ben 10, Batman Brave and the Bold, and Wolverine and the X-Men. Then add in the History and Discovery channel fare I love: Pawn Stars, Life After People, The Universe, How the Earth was Made. Mix in BBC add a liberal dosage of broadcast-TV-canceling-moving-shows-around, and I'm watching broadcast TV much less nowadays. Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection.
