Um?

I've started watching a new show with Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford called, "The Good Guys".

I ... really have no idea what to make of this. On the one hand, they're playing "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner in the middle of a shoot-out, which is very cool. On the other, the best description I can give it is if you were flipping channels between "Law and Order" and "Simon and Simon" (or "Miami Vice", if you prefer) while drugged up on cough medicine and then fell asleep and had a particularly vivid fever dream which combined the two in Dallas.

The jury is still out whether this is the greatest thing ever or if the maker of this should have his rehab paid for.

Or, possibly, NOT have his rehab paid for by making it into a tv series??
Although a combo of "Law and Order", "Simon and Simon", and "Miami Vice" is an intriguing one, it'd have to be *really* well-done just to cope with the confusion factors involved. I mean, hey, Vice's Martin going toe-to-toe with some of those really senior Law and Order prosecutors over the hassle the Simon brothers brought to town? (Just for kicks, blame it all on some stunt pulled by Stingray, while you're at it.) Could be fun... gee, yeah, I like crack fanfic, why do you ask?

afjskalfj This is true!

It's pretty epic, by which I mean really surreal. For one thing, the colors are garish and bright (seriously, they had a teal garage and immediately you think, "I could see Sonny Crockett wearing that color").

*snix* It is EXACTLY like watching a crack fic. And I LOVE it.

I actually missed the pilot, but the two I've seen are pretty fantastic. No Downtown Brown, but Ruiz is almost as good.

"We broke into the garage--spelled with a J--and found the burning chemical smell was burning chemicals. Very nice. A red letter day for the department, boys. Not only do I have a bill for $100,000 in damages for a dog, but I also have a report from Dan Stark, an occurrence so rare that--I don't know, I feel like I should frame it!"

Would love to hear what you think!
