Line #23 ShoutOut/BurnNotice


1	* In 1x02 "Identity," Sam introduces himself and Fi as FBI agents [[Series/CagneyAndLacey Cagney and Lacey.]]
2	* In 3x04 "Fearless Leader," a pack of "Morley" brand cigarettes show up -- the favorite choice of the [[Series/TheXFiles Cigarette-Smoking Man]]. Also in that episode, the VillainOfTheWeek is named after actor (and frequent episode director) Tim Matheson.
3	** Morleys are actually seen frequently on the show. They're Maddie's preferred brand, and many of the smoking villains are seen with them as well. Seems appropriate, since this show is also about a government employee trying to unravel a massive conspiracy...
4	* A hotel at the end of season 2 is named after William Wages (executive producer?) and the VOTW from "The Hunter" is named for Jeremiah Chechik, director.
5	* See the Creator/GordonKorman book [[http://gordonkorman.com/weston.htm "Our Man Weston"]] for a possible source of Mike's surname.
6	* In 3x14 "Partners in Crime," Sam, while pretending to be an [[Series/CSIMiami uber-cool crime lab technician]], does a GlassesPull while delivering a pitch-perfect [[QuipToBlack Horatio Caine one-liner.]] Twice. ''Yeeeaaahhhhh!''
7	* Perhaps a subtle or unintentional one but in Season 3 finale [[spoiler:while fighting, Simon takes Michael from behind and slams him repeatedly against a wall. The short sequence uses the much of the same cinematography as the fight between the T-800 and T-1000 from ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. Earlier in the episode, Simon walks out from behind the heat haze of an explosion in a police outfit -- again, sharing similar cinematography to what the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' series of works have used prior. Garrett Dillahunt (Simon) previously played a Terminator and A.I. in ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles''.]]
8	* Simon and Fiona also got to talk to Olivia Benson.
9	* Max and Strickler were patients at Seattle Grace hospital, agent Pearce was a nurse there.
10	* In "Where There's Smoke", a gang of kidnappers is led by two brothers named [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Eddy and Jacob]].
11	* In "Breach of Faith", Sam mentions how he really wanted a [[Film/AChristmasStory Red Rider]] BB rifle as a kid.
12	* In 4X13 "Eyes Open," Jesse passes he & Fiona off as Artest, & Shannon Brown a reference to two LA Lakers players.
13	* In "Out of the Fire", Sam dryly quips to [[spoiler:Brennen: "Don't take my silence for stupidity. I was just trying to [[Series/{{Firefly}} kill you with my mind]]".]]
14	* In "Last Stand", Michael [[spoiler:is taken to Washington D.C. and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spy_Who_Came_in_from_the_Cold given a coat by his handler before being escorted into a building]]]].
15	* In "Hard Out" the front that the Oil company uses to hire the mercenaries is called [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Pyramid Group]]
16	* The last fight in "Better Halves" evokes the mall fight in ''Film/MrAndMrsSmith2005'' and Michael and Fi spend the episode pretending to be Mr. and Mrs. Jenson.
17	* One of Mike's nemeses is called Carla. [[Literature/TheQuestForKarla Not Karla.]]
18	* When buying a phone off of a child in Panama, Jesse's cover name is [[Film/InTheHeatOfTheNight Señor Tibbs]].
19	* In "Down & Out", the fake ID Sam is given as his alias is "Randy Weems", and he asks what kind of name Randy Weems is. It's the name (or the nickname) of [[{{WesternAnimation/Recess}} a sniveling little tattle-tale.]]
20	* In "A New Deal", while bare-knuckled boxing early in the episode, Michael gets punched and knocked up into the air in a manner very reminiscent of an iconic scene in ''Film/{{Snatch}}''.
21	* In "Last Rites" Nate and Sam are pretending to be CDC field agents when a subject walks in on Nate opening a phone receiver to bug it. The excuse to cover for this? Nate's handling the very bacteria the CDC was looking for -- in other words, he's [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuidetotheGalaxy a phone sanitizer.]]
22	* In the tie-in novel, "The Fix", multiple shout-outs are made:
23	** Michael mentions a CIA agent whose cover identity is [[Creator/ChuckBarris host of]] ''Series/TheGongShow''.
24	** He also mentions that even [[Series/MiamiVice Crockett and Tubbs]] couldn't make a lasting impact on Miami's drug problem.
25	** In conversation, he and Barry agree that [[Series/HowIMetYourMother nothing good happens after 2am]].
26	* Early on, one of Michael's fake identities is "Steve Remington" - a reference to Series/RemingtonSteele, which won Creator/PierceBrosnan the role of Film/JamesBond.
27	* In "Enemy of My Enemy", Michael tricks one criminal organization into attacking another. Agent Pearce calls it a "Film/{{Yojimbo}} play."
