I just asked my husband. He said that he watched the show from beginning to end. This is a direct quote from him: "No one is going to be a better person for having watched it, but it somehow kept me sucked in until I finished it."

Depends on if gaining a yogurt eating habit is defined as being a better person or not xP
I developed a serious blueberry yogurt addiction because of this show.
After season 3 I couldn't eat another fucking tub of blueberry yogurt anymore. Still haven't had any since.
Hey it’s better than the whiskey habit I picked up from Mad Men haha.
It very much follows the USA format (White Collar, Psych, Monk, etc.), especially similar to White Collar:
Ridiculous premise, most episodes are standalone and formulaic, a couple seasons at the beginning and end of each season are about the season’s story arc and are generally weaker. Later seasons get more into the increasingly silly arc and it starts to drag. But overall it’s a lot of fun.
USA shows in general make good bedtime shows IMO.
The Blue Sky USA network era :(
Used to love watching that channel during that time.
Yea, I was gonna say something similar. If you liked those USA network shows, then you'll enjoy this. I love Psych and Monk, so I'm all about the shows of that channel/era
Honestly still one of my favorite shows, maybe my favorite ever. It can be campy and unrealistic sometimes, it stays within the realm of "I guess that's possible" that you will still be curious about how they will beat the monster of the week. It's a lot of fun.
Macguyver is right up your alley mate. You might even like A-team.
If you like even more severe 80s sloch, knightrider calls.
The golden 3
Guns make you stupid. Duct tape makes you smart.
"sometimes" lol. But yeah I loved it for the same reasons. Don't take it seriously and just enjoy it.
It’s pretty formulaic but entertaining. Especially if you play the Burn Notice drinking game. Drink every time: a gun is shot, there’s a random flash of a girl in a swimsuit, there’s a voiceover, a fake name or accent is used. There’s probably more rules I’ve forgotten.
Ah, so drink every 2.3 seconds. Got it.
Absolutely. "I used to be a spy."
And, bonus, a series with a nice and satisfying ending.
Plus, Bruce Campbell!
It's dumb fun. Watch a couple of episodes and you'll know if it's your kind of dumb fun as the formula stays pretty consistent for pretty much the entirety of the show's run.
I put it on the same level as Leverage. It's fun action that is also stupid, but that's part of it's charm.
Thank you all for your opinions.
Forgot to ask. Did it get a proper ending?
Yes, a very satisfying and enjoyable ending.
It's a good bit of fun and has strong 'MacGyver' vibes.
Chuck Finley is my favorite. and of course, Mr. Slicey
This is one of my favorite scenes for some reason and sums up the show pretty well: Thermite
Why is that your favorite?
it's good but the overall story arc gets very repetitive, season after season. Individual episodes are really good but I quit watching after a few seasons.
Yes, I loved it.
If you’re looking for a good show to binge with someone, it works well. Lots of fun guest stars and guaranteed explosions. It’s not a science documentary, but it’s not garbage reality television, either. Just fun.
It's got amazing characters and a fun premise. Writing is pretty mid but the standout moments are incredible.
No. Definitely not worth it. Completed predictable and so formulaic it's ridiculous.
