Burn Notice 9 p.m., USA

The more I watch this show, the better I like the casting of Sharon Gless as Michael’s mother. She and actor Jeffrey Donovan actually have some similar facial features. Indeed, the more I watch this stylish action show, the more I enjoy it, particularly the humor. Check out Michael’s efforts to get a guy to count to 10 tonight without knowing it.

Get out your beret.
