USA's HIT SERIES "BURN NOTICE" RETURNS WITH THE LAUNCH OF ALL-NEW EPISODES ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2009 AT 10/9c

With New and Exciting Episodes of MONK, PSYCH and WWE's MONDAY NIGHT RAW

BURN NOTICE, the hottest show last summer and the number one new show on cable in 2007, returns with seven all new episodes on Thursday, January 22 at 10/9c. BURN NOTICE was the #1 scripted show on cable in 2008 in the coveted P18-49 demo delivering 2.76 million viewers.

BURN NOTICE is a sly take on the spy genre starring Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westen, a burned operative who finds himself stuck in the tropical paradise of Miami. Also starring Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless.

This season, Michael has been forced to work for the very people who burned him. In the premiere of season 2.5, he wakes up after the explosion at his apartment, alive but shaken. Whoever tried to kill him also killed Carla's sniper and jeopardized her operation. Furious, Carla (Tricia Helfer � "Battlestar Galactica"), Michael's new handler and a known ruthless operative, wants the bomber caught, but Michael sees the bomber as his chance to get a leg up on her � and ultimately find out who is pulling the strings. Meanwhile, he continues helping ordinary people with their extraordinary problems, which never seem to get any easier.
