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.

Alicia I love this movie so much
TinsHeadline Touches You
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
TownRootGuy Like 'Firefly', this show could have gone on to be among the best ever made. This has extraordinary eye candy, great action, a superb cast, fantastic cars, outstanding tunes AND they bring so much funny you will bust some guts. If you don't own this on disc, you should! I can watch this every 2 or 3 years.
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.
groundunder OK I admit that I'm biased as I live in Dallas, but this show was fantastic. It's one of the few shows which realistically portrays Dallas and it's residents (The other obviously is the show "Cheaters"). The writing is the best part of this show as the production budget is one of the smallest of any TV show out there. The producers have created a show with the PERFECT formula. 1) Great writing 2) Great acting 3) Great Directing 4) Low cost to produce.So naturally Fox screws with the show's time-slot, then cancels it for poor ratings.Colin Hanks definitely sounds like his dad (unintentionally) but he still plays his part to perfection. Bradley Whitford surprises everyone with his physical comedic skills. This guy has some *seriously* good acting chops. Jenny Wade even manages to get the accent down after a few episodes. Don't get me wrong, the first two episodes are pretty weak compared to the others, but you need to watch those to get some back-story. Just slog through them to get to episodes 3 - 20. They get progressively funnier from 3 on.Great show, and I had a great time recognizing all the Dallas locations mentioned in each episode. I hope they release this on DVD or at least make it available via Netflix streaming for everybody.
AnKan Jb "THE GOOD GUYS" is an awesome series. The whole buddy cop routine with the good cop-bad cop thing is truly worth a watch. The leads, Jack Bailey and Dan Stark are truly great creations.I have found every episode of this series hilarious.. and wish it stays the same always. The other characters in the series are also great,and I particularly like Dan's attitude.If you love serious types,this ain't for you !!But if you love to pass some time smiling, THE GOOD GUYS is for you. It packs all the fun of buddy cop stories with the fun and adventure of a fast paced racy action comedy. Matt Nix sure deserves some credit. I am seriously impressed. Finally in Dan's words, LETS BUST SOME PUNKS!!
