BURN NOTICE: FRIENDS AND FAMILY

SHOWS SEASON: 03

EPISODE NUMBER: 29

CREATOR & WRITER: Matt Nix

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Matt Nix, Mikkel Bondesen, Jeff Freilich

AIR DATE: June 4, 2009

SUMMERY OF THIS SHOW: Michael emerges from the water free from interference by the organization that burned him. But he's no longer under their protection, and is being investigated by the police. He gets out of prison with help from an old friend who has a job for him: extraditing a thug who's displacing landowners in a Latin American country.

FASTERCHILD'S REVIEW: I just recently became a fan of Burn Notice about a month ago and had the pleasure of watching the entire last season. At the end of the last season they kind of left things at a happy cliff hanger. From watching this episode it seems like this season is going to be pretty bad ass. There were a couple parts in the episode that moved a little slow. But, there were also moments in the episode that I didn't see coming. So, I was very entertained, and I can't wait for Episode number 2 in this season.

MAN VS WILD: THE WILL FERRELL SPECIAL

SHOWS SEASON: 4

AIR DATE: June 2, 2009

LOCATION: Northern Sweden

SUMMERY OF THIS SHOW: Bear Grylls takes Will Ferrell out and about to survive the harsh cold of Northern Sweden. They treck threw the woods over ice covered lakes as they spend 48 hours trying to reach their extraction point. Along the way, Will Ferrell and Bear Grylls find a dears head to snack upon after making camp.

FASTERCHILD'S REVIEW: To be completely honest, this was not as funny as I was hoping it was going to be. When I saw all the commercials for it I made it a point to set my DVR to record it. While watching this episode it seemed like Will Ferrell was actually kind of put out by the situation and he really didn't want to be there at all. I was hoping he would be cracking jokes and being crazy the whole time. But, he was pretty much just an old dude on a mountain. I suppose the whole thing was a just a great big plug for his upcoming movie anyway. I just think it could have been done a lot better. Even though all I've really talked about here is pretty negative, it was still pretty entertaining for the most part. So, it wasn't all bad.
