nike shocks The Good Guys - Great Summer Viewing

chris968bm

The show follows two Dallas detectives, Jack Bailey (Colin Hanks) and Dan Stark (Bradley Whitford), stuck in the small crimes unit. Jack - a by-the-book, slightly nerdy officer - is very ambitious and wants more than anything to move up in the department, but his partner Dan - perpetually drunk, uncouth and law-bending - keeps getting in the way.
The whole "cop show" genre has been done almost every way conceivable, but The Good Guys rolls through the notion of a police show with little care for anything that's come before. Dan is constantly referencing his glory days as a detective in the '70s - when the cop show was on the rise - and keeps trying to solve crimes the old-school way, which doesn't always work out the way he is used to.
The Good Guys is a show knee-deep in cliches, but after watching the first six episodes, it becomes more and more obvious that this is how it's supposed to be. Being surrounded by so many tried concepts and ideas allows the writers and actors a chance to turn them on their head, and it's here that The Good Guys shine.
This odd couple has to learn to work with each other [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and each episode they do as they solve crimes that start as little ones, but quickly escalate into massive sprees.

The show isn't going to change anything up in a big way [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but as far as fun viewing goes, it'll be harder to find a more enjoyable summer treat.
Dan was famous once in the '70s when he and his partner saved the life of the Texas governor, but since then his partner has retired and Jack has powered forward [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with his position steadily sinking in the department.
Mark FOX's The Good Guys as one of the summer's most fun new arrivals. A delightful romp through an over-saturated genre, The Good Guys shows how much fun being irreverent is.
Whitford's Dan is the star of the show, no doubt about it. His mustached, over-the-top detective is so outrageous - and out of date - that he sucks everyone around him into his orbit. A highlight which the writers have wisely tried to write into every episode is Jack attempting to navigate the workings of a computer.

Hanks' Jack is the straight man, but he pulls it off by having the same everyman qualities that helped his father, and an epic amount of patience for everything Jack does.
Summer prime time TV is usually a wasteland of reality TV and boring game shows, with only a handful of decent shows peppered throughout the line-up.
