Franklin & Bash

I've only seen the pilot so far, but the main characters have great comedic timing and great chemistry with each other - that's rare to get in a pilot.

Sure, the show is a little silly, but it's a buddy comedy - it's supposed to be silly! And the two main characters pull off the ridiculous moments really well (and make them entertaining), which is something that a lot of new shows fail at.

Franklin, in my opinion, is the funnier of the two, but they're really best together. You completely get that they've been friends for a long time and are very close. The moment in the pilot when they realize their new job has them in separate offices is hilarious - they both seem confused at being separated and have the wall between the offices taken down to make one big one. Just their faced and timing on the lines alone make it very funny!

I hope this show stays good and gets better. I worry about really fun pilots that I like because that tends to signal that the show won't stay good. Here's hoping that doesn't happen with this one!

I recommend that you give this a shot. If you like things like "Psych" that have two buddy main characters, you might like this, too.

This show seems to be improving with every episode. The series premiere was great, but episode 2 was better, and episode 3 was even better.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer, alongside the other cast members all perform well.

Franklin and Bash is truly refreshing with creative dialogue, unique (extremely unique) scripts, and quality acting. The show is quality compared to many other legal shows I've seen.

I agree that this show might not be the next Lost, but it definitely succeeds at entertaining and that's all that matters to me. This series is great for what it is and it does what it's suppose to do: entertain.

Give this show a chance, but if you can, let it grow on you since the first three episodes progressively improve.

Hopefully this show lasts as long as possible, granted quality does not falter.

One of the reviews above suggested that the fans of Boston Legal and The Practice wouldn't appreciate Franklin & Bash. I have to disagree! Boston Legal is my favorite show of all-time, and I still mourn it's demise, and when watching Franklin & Bash I keep wanting to see a BL crossover. The shows would mesh perfectly.

While neither of the main characters has the 'passion' that Alan Shore displayed, they are both set to build into characters that are just as wonderful, given the chance. I really look forw3ard to seeing how this show and the characters develop.

Also - Malcolm McDowell rocks!

Been watching this new TNT series this summer and this legal drama which pushes the button even for a cable series, is downright fun and enjoyable! Franklin & Bash is full of wit, pleasure, rule breaking and sexy scenes to make one wish they were living the life of these two hot young lawyers! The work and chemistry from the actors is top notch with veterans Mark Paul Gosselaar("Raising the Bar" and "Saved by the Bell")and Malcolm McDowell("A Clockwork Orange")and enter new guy on the block Breckin Mayer who's also a treat, plus the show provides plenty of eye candy with appearances from the hot ladies and frequent guest stars give it spice to go along with the sweet and crazy sugar type cases that the duo try to defend! Set in the city of Angels and sunny southern Los Angeles, California these two young and hot lawyers Peter Bash(Mark Paul Gosselaar)and Jared Franklin(Breckin Mayer)who enjoy pop culture movie trivia, video games and searching for hot young women have their own ways of winning cases of the law! Even though they slack some they know the tricks and trade of the legal system and the behind the scenes and under the table ways to win measures of justice! Because a little background and undercover work will help win cases! And many of their cases are crazy many involve something that relates to sex! Wild and push the envelope series, still this uncommon and unorthodox success catches the eye of a powerful firm leader(Malcolm McDowell). After joining the ranks the sky is the limit for this young tag team legal duo. Overall good series that does things it's own way still in the meantime it's a feel good guilty pleasure that's watchable.

I turned into the pilot episode since there was nothing else on that night so it's like "sure why not give the show a chance", thinking there might be a 50% chance I like the show so it could be a new show to add to my weekly watching schedule. After that first episode I was absolutely hooked. The show was not only funny but actually a decent show about lawyers. But at the same time still having some interesting cases that aren't done on other law shows. And unlike Law & Order and so on all the cases aren't just murder cases.

It's a good overall cast with Mark Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer in the leads with Malcolm McDowell as their boss. Even has Reed Diamond from Homicide and The Shield fame on the show.
