Synopsis

Once upon the 1970s, Dan Stark and his partner, Frank Savage, were big-shot Dallas detectives. So big, in fact, that they were lauded as American heroes after saving the Governor's son. Thirty years later, Dan Stark is a washed-up detective who spends most of his time drunk or re-hashing his glory days. Dan's new partner, Jack Bailey, is an ambitious, by-the-book and overall good detective, but is sometimes a bit too snarky for his own good. His habit of undermining himself has earned him a dead-end position in the department, and he is stuck solving annoying petty theft cases that nobody else wants. Worse, he's been given the thankless task of babysitting Dan, the drunk pariah who can never keep partners for long.

nailsxx I started watching this as something to do while folding clothes. Now I am really bummed there are not more episodes. This show was really fun to watch. Bradley Whitford is awesome. Funny. Perfect combination of the goofy smart Detective and the Detective straight out of the 70's in Whitford. Also, it does not hurt that Jenny Wade is on the show as well. Great show. Wonder if there is a chance that this one could come back. I would watch no doubt. The show could draw some comparison to the Ferrell and Wahlburg movie "The Other Guys" but the similarities are small. I would suggest giving it at least three episodes and you should be hooked by the end of the third.
SnoopyStyle Jack Bailey (Colin Hanks) is a by-the-book neat police detective who is stuck at the bottom of the squad. He gets put together with Dan Stark (Bradley Whitford), a drunken, lecherous mess who nobody wants to partner up with. Dan is a 70s throwback and the stache to prove it. Yes, they are the Odd Couple of police.Bradley Whitford really goes all out with this character. He is absolutely wonderful. And Colin Hanks fits this stiff character perfectly. Diana Maria Riva is good as their frustrated Lieutenant boss. Jenny Wade is lovely as the flustered ADA, and possible love interest. This is a good fun show that only lasted one season.
phatstorage-270-848181 I started watching this after seeing how it was rated on IMDb and loved it, not serious at all and well put together generally.I was watching re-runs of the A team and saw quite a few similarities in this show, The light humour, action (who does't like cars tearing round corners with their rears out?), good lines ("love it when a plan comes together"/ "let's bust some punks"), good cast, easy open and close story for each episode which means no long running epic that seems to be the norm on TV now. Not that I have a problem with long deep story lines but it's nice to have a light hearted and readily watchable show that can be accessed even if you miss an episode. And fox go ahead a cancel it?Didn't it get a crappy time slot and low budget anyway? I think it did well considering these odds and Fox need to reconsider and give the show a fair chance.Or at least ship it to Britain and watch the ratings go up over here.But we haven't even had breaking bad over here yet so what chance does this thing have? I feel sorry for the show because the characters especially stark are great, Great lines and cheesy with it make this show all that more amusing, someone said in a review not to watch it with too much of your brain, this is true and maybe a lot of people expected serious things as that's all it seems to be with cop stuff now, unless it has a live audience laughing at every little thing it must be serious. I hope someone else picks up this show and runs with it as fox clearly don't deserve it, they probably still think people watch the simpsons.
jimmihendrixfan I really enjoyed the show I couldn't wait for it to come on. I watched every episode that came on. There were parts that sucked like how it kept going back and fourth from past to present but easy to put up with because the show was just so awesome. Now the show stops coming on but they put up a whole bunch of crap that comes on gets less ratings but they keep it anyways. Is there something wrong with Fox? I would love for this show to come back on and many others that Fox has cut off for more crap that comes on. I don't see how Fox gets all it's ratings when they kick the good stuff off air with out even saying anything. They tell you when new shows are coming on but not when there going to knock a show off. There is only so many good station out there and Fox is making them self's look bad. Fox was good back in the day but not anymore.
