Burn Notice TV spy series box set Season 1 and 3 (like new)

When I was collecting the complete set of DVDs for one of my favorite TV shows, I bought a few duplicate seasons not knowing I had them already. Im putting up the duplicate 1st and 3rd seasons of the hit USA Networks show Burn Notice. Theyre in mint condition and Im only looking to get them to a fellow fan for only 10.00 each. ************************************************************************************ Burn Notice Season 1 (four DVDs, all 11 episodes plus double length finale plus extras). Covert intelligence operative Michael Westen has been punched, kicked, choked and shot. Now hes being burned, and someones going to pay! When Michael receives a burn notice, blacklisting him from the intelligence community and compromising his very identity, he must track down a faceless nemesis without getting himself killed in the process. Meanwhile, Michael is forced to double as a private investigator on the dangerous streets of Miami in order to survive. Burn Notice is a canny, clever comedy-thriller show about a covert operative with a heart of gold. Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is in the middle of a top-secret mission when he discovers hes been burned--basically, fired without warning. After barely extricating himself from danger, he wakes up in Miami, where the government has abandoned him and locked him out of his own bank account. To make ends meet, he takes on private detective jobs (helping an old lady whos fallen victim to a con artist; rescuing a young girl whos being tricked into white slavery; helping a mother whose son has been kidnapped by the boys father... only it turns out the father is the rightful parent and the mom is an assassin sent to kill him--a nice guest star appearance by Lucy Lawless, Xena: Warrior Princess), while trying to figure out who burned him and why. Westen tries to remain clinical in his approach to these problems, but he always ends up protecting the helpless with his sophisticated spy skills. Over the course of the first season, he gradually uncovers a mysterious conspiracy that plans to use his talents for their own nefarious ends. Burn Notice deftly mixes the old and the new. The old: Our hero has a hot ex-girlfriend (Gabrielle Anwar, Scent of a Woman), a goofy sidekick (cult hero Bruce Campbell of the Evil Dead movies), and a meddling mom (Sharon Gless, Cagney & Lacey) who help and hinder him in his investigations, as well as a MacGyver-esque skill for making deadly devices out of common household products. The new: A media-savvy way of deconstructing the tricks and techniques of spies and government agencies, often resulting in smart and highly entertaining plot twists. Donovan, handsome but cheeky, combines a light comic touch with a convincing secret agent cool, and the supporting cast fill their niches with aplomb. Their escapades are pretty breezy and occasionally skirt being glib, but most of the time the show finds an extremely entertaining balance between action, romance, and humor. The extras are few (some montages of characteristic moments from the series, including one of the many bikini-clad girls the Miami locale provides) and the commentaries, rather than covering entire episodes, just discuss a few select scenes from each show. ********************************************************************************* Burn Notice Season 3 (four DVDs, all 16 episodes plus extras like 2009 Comic-Con appearance). Michael Weston is back in business and dressed to kill. But, in spite of his good intentions, Michael has a hard-nosed, sexy female cop on his case, leaving sidekick Sam and femme fatale Fiona to watch his back. With friends like these, Michael finds himself in hot water in this sweltering Season Three of Burn Notice. For a man with a burn notice, ex-spy Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) leads a productive life. After a swim back to Miami and a tango with the police, the quick-change artist returns to work in the third season of the hit USA Network series. With help from ex-IRA fighter Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar, who could pass for Katharine Rosss sultrier sister) and ex-Navy SEAL Sam (Bruce Campbell, always good value), he starts by lending a hand to Harlan (Cougar Towns Brian Van Holt), a former associate. Then, he tangles with a smarmy arms dealer (The Shields Jay Karnes) and a realtor with a secret (Rescue Mes Callie Thorne). Other cases occupy his time when he isnt dodging Detective Paxson (Moon Bloodgood), a persistent police officer, and working for the smooth-talking Strickler (Ben Shenkman), a recruiter who offers him a return to spy duty. Then theres sociopathic black op Gilroy (Chris Vance) and the nefarious Simon (Garret Dillahunt). If he can outsmart these two tricksters, Management (Frasiers John Mahoney) just might wipe his record clean. Unfortunately, Fiona is losing patience with all these shady characters, who are endangering their relationship--and their lives.
