Burn Notice wraps up 7 years in Miami



Burn Notice wraps after seven years of Miami spy capers - TV & Radio - MiamiHerald.com: " . . . Burn Notice ended up in Miami for a slightly longer stretch than did Miami Vice, which filmed between 1984 and 1989. Both shot 111 episodes, though Vice filmed more given its feature-length specials. Burn Notice was also the first English-language series of note shot in Miami to be renewed for a second season. While Vice was a pop hit and helped spark a tourism rebound in Miami, Burn Notice never earned much attention beyond its core audience. A Saturday Night Live skit in 2010 spoofed the series’ low profile with a fake game show called “What is Burn Notice?” And while Vice thrived before the era of government subsidies for entertainment, Burn Notice collected millions in tax dollars from Florida’s film office. Burn Notice’s series finale airs Sept 12."
