"Burn Notice," 9 p.m. USA Network: Television's hottest and most entertaining summer series is this cable gem. For those of you who have had the misfortune not watching the show, it is the story of a spy, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan), who has been unceremoniously kicked out of the spy business.

He spends his time trying to get his old spy life back and helping those in need. This all plays out against a Miami backdrop.

Westen's not alone. He gets assistance from another ex-spy, Sam (Bruce Campbell), the beautiful buy bomb crazy Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) and even his mother (Sharon Gless). Campbell gives the series a comic edge while Anwar's character is both alluring and a little scary. And, this is the best work by Gless since her "Cagney & Lacey" days. The mix of these odd characters give the series a real charm and a sense of fun.

If you have not been watching, don't be shy. It doesn't take long to get up to speed.
