TV Episode Recap/Review – The Good Guys: Don’t Tase Me, Bro

by on Aug.03, 2010, under Action, Comedy, Crime, Television

Oh man, where do I begin? Last night’s episode of The Good Guys, called “Don’t Tase Me, Bro” had so much good stuff I don’t know what to talk about first. Plus, I’m finding it hard to decide which character I like more, Dan or Jack. On the one hand you have Dan’s over-the-top, every-line-that-comes-from-his-mouth-is-hilarious bit, then on the other you have Jack’s much more subtle but no less funny performance. It’s an impossible choice so I guess I’ll just say that I love them both equally, how’s that?

TV Episode Recap/Review – The Good Guys: Hunches and Heists

by on Jul.20, 2010, under Action, Comedy, Crime, Television

Colin Hanks and Bradley Whitford in The Good Guys

In this week’s episode of The Good Guys, titled “Hunches and Heists”, there’s kind of two of everything. First there are the two hunches, Dan’s hunch and then finally (when Dan drags it out of him) Jack’s hunch. Then there are the two heists.

A guy that Dan put away years ago, who’s also known as the worst getaway driver in the business, is out of jail and the Feds think he’s going to be part of a bank robbery. Dan doesn’t believe it but when the guy’s daughter asks him to check up on her dad and make sure he’s not getting into trouble, he goes to see him. Meanwhile Dan and Jack are put on the case of a bunch of dry cleaning and (of course) it turns out that that everything is related.

Dan’s old friend is part of a heist, but not the real one, I mean well it’s a real one just not the really real one. Yeah I was kinda confused too. Didn’t stop me from enjoying the episode though.

My favorite bits…

Dan’s ability to simultaneously bug Jack and listen to the Lieutenant’s briefing at the same time.

Jack complaining that he not only has to look at Dan’s gut, he has to listen to it too.

Laughing my head off at the ridiculously close angle they gave us of Dan taking a whiz on the side of the building. Classy.

The fact that Dan never bothers to put on another shirt while his is undergoing “repairs” – even though he had no trouble wearing different jackets. The sight of him in the wifebeater cracked me up the entire episode.

Dan tossing back beers and going over the good old days, with the guy he threw in jail.

Once again, Dan doing something on the case that annoys the hell out of Jack, but somehow leads them to a clue. Case in point – going back to the dry cleaners to pick up his shirt leading to the fact that security guard uniforms have been stolen.

The guys trying to prevent a bank heist…….by inadvertently robbing it themselves.

Totally agreeing with what Dan said to Jack – “when you screw up, move on”. Sometimes that’s better than doing nothing but dwelling on the past. Huh, who knew that Dan could give out life advice?

Dan hollering at the waitress: “Darling! Box my meat!” – LOL!

The wrestling match/slap fight over the radio in the car.

Them playing ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down” as Walter raced Dan and Jack back over the exploding bridge to stop the other heist.

Jack finally going with his gut and taking them to the jewelry store. Yeah Jack!

Getting a kick out of Walter running into a fire hydrant, especially since I’d just watched another character do that on Lie To Me, which came on right before. Huh, same writers maybe?

Dan telling the Lieutenant that the guys from the other heist weren’t “Easter Bunny” fake, just regular fake.

The shootout in the cemetery ending in everyone dying. Fitting, no?

Jack going back into Liz’s office to “do something stupid and impulsive”, and kissing her……only to find out that her boyfriend asked her to move in with him. Oops.

Overall another hilarious turn from this series that I am still enjoying quite a bit.

TV Episode Review – The Good Guys: Broken Door Theory

by on Jun.15, 2010, under Action, Comedy, Crime, Television

The Good Guys Broken Door Theory

You know, I keep waiting for the humor in this show to get old but it just doesn’t. If anything, it’s getting funnier and funnier with each episode. I also keep waiting for Bradley Whitford’s performance as Dan to get annoying but nope, that’s not happening either. Still funny as hell and going strong, this week’s episode has the boys tracking down a candy thief. Of course, like with all their cases, it leads them to something much bigger and they end up after a no-good pimp who’s threatening a girl who just wants to get out of the biz once and for all.

My favorite bits…

Jack being more upset that Dan is about to sneeze on him than the fact that they’re both getting shot to hell in a bathtub.

Jack’s ex setting him up on a date

The thug telling his boss that his office is kind of a dump and he should get a decorator. Last week we got a sidekick spouting dating advice and now design advice? What’s next, a sidekick with cooking tips?

Gemini not willing to let his best girl go because he needs to get his tattoo removed. Must be a big problem among pimps everywhere.

Dan referring to the forensics techs as “the geeks with the microscopes”. LOL! You know, somehow I think Abby on NCIS would think that was pretty darn funny.

Dan trying to memorize the names on the computer before he saw that Jack had printed it out on the “mimeograph”.

The look between Dan and Jack when the hotel manager came flying off the roof. Classic.

The chase after the bad guys on the roof, done to the tune of ‘Solid Gold Easy Action’ by T. Rex.

Dan’s flu going from the hotel manager and making its way over to Gemini the pimp. That’s some pretty powerful germs he’s got there.

Barfing in the bushes turning out to be a good way to find evidence. Who knew?

Dan’s painful “It….will….pass” as he’s bent double and unable to move.

The angry wife threatening to gun down her husband to the tune of “These Boots Are Made For Walking”, originally by Nancy Sinatra but I’m pretty sure the version in this ep is from Star Academy.

Dan practically beside himself that he’s not the one who gets to entrap the call girl and Jack ending up only talking to her about his ex.

Great use of a punk version (which I could not find anywhere, unfortunately) of “My Boyfriend’s Back” during the scene where Gemini and his thug come to shoot up the hotel room.

Dan’s flu then making its way over to Lieutenant Ruiz and the simultaneous “she’s pissed” Dan and Jack say as she walks away, well, pissed.

Cracking up at my local news cutting into the episode to report on the earthquake that just happened and the episode resuming at the point where there’s a news report about the shooting. For a second there, I didn’t know what the heck was real…..well, except for the earthquake cuz I felt that. LOL.

Jack and Dan just happening to be at the pharmacy where Gemini shows up, exactly 1.01 miles from his house and therefore not breaking the ultimatum that the lieutenant gave them.

Dan’s “It’s not a toy…..it’s a red gun” when Gemini spots what he’s got in the mirror.

Another final action sequence to a great song ‘Traveling Band’ by Creedence.

Dan handcuffing himself to Gemini as he loses consciousness and then Jack fighting Gemini while the pimp is still attached to his partner. OMG, best fight ever!! LOL.

Jack telling Dan that he can’t punch the smug bastard in the face but letting him do the next best thing…..giving the guy a big ol’ wet kiss and the infamous flu.

Positively Positive Review – The Good Guys: Bait and Switch

The Good Guys Dan shoots computer from

Two episodes into this series and I’m totally hooked. I have no idea what kind of numbers this tv show is bringing in, but I really hope they’re good because ‘The Good Guys’ is already becoming a favorite.

Like the pilot, this episode was full of great lines, hilarious bad guys, gorgeous classic cars, awesome stunts and some totally rockin’ tunes. With all that good stuff, it’s hard to know what I like the most, but overall I’d have to say it’s the writing. Pretty much every single thing that comes out of every character’s mouth (especially Dan’s) cracks me up.

In this episode, the guys start out on a vandalism case and end up tracking down a whole lot of stolen classic cars. Not getting much help from the department they use Dan’s Trans Am as a bait car and (no surprise) they lose it. In the meantime, the sexy officer on the task force seems to have her sights set on Jack but it turns out that she’s working with the bad guys and trying to keep him off track.

My favorite bits….

Dan using Jack’s keyboard to scratch his back. Now there’s a use for one I hadn’t thought of before.

This line from Dan: “The only place a woman should punch a man is in the face.” – LOL!

Jack telling Dan “I’m not getting into a bed you’re already in, Dan.”

The bad guy’s sidekick actually spouting out some pretty good love advice.

Jack and Dan locking a snitch in the trunk so they can track Dan’s car. Brilliant and freaking hilarious.

Not being at all surprised that the moment Dan is left alone with a computer, he downloads enough porn to give it a virus.

That when the guys discover the computer isn’t tracking, Dan yells “my car!” and Jack yells “Julius!” – it’s not hard to who’s priorities are where.

Two sets of goofy bad guys – one silly but tough Brits and the other silly but tough rednecks.

Dan calling peanut shells “salty, delicious tree bark”

This bit:
Dan: “Hey man it don’t matter what her name is, you’re never gonna see her naked.”
(looks up and sees Kiersten standing behind him)
Dan: “I know I won’t”
(me falling on the floor and laughing my ass off)

Liz trying to hide the fact that she’s jealous about Jack going on a date with Kiersten, and failing miserably at it.

Kiersten and Jack battling it out to the tune of Heart’s ‘Crazy On You’. I was beginning to wonder at this point if we were going to get any music in this ep.

Dan nearly blowing away the “computer machine” because it wouldn’t tell him where his partner was.

FINALLY figuring out what in the heck the sound effect was that they use when flipping back and forth from scene to scene. When going from past to present they use the sounds of a revolver: spinning the cylinder and firing it. Then for just the regular scene changes they use an automatic: pulling back the slide and firing. Oh yes, I am extremely proud of myself for figuring this out. Can you tell?

Yelling at the screen “Noooo! Don’t hurt the cars!!” when Jack’s car came crashing through the window and hit the Mustang and then they started shooting it up. Oh noes!!

The final shootout done to the tune of “Rock You Like a Hurricane” by Scorpions….and laughing out loud at the fact that both of the songs used in the ep are actually in my iPod shuffle right now and I worked out to at least one of them in the past week.

Jack turning down Liz so he could go take part in Dan’s tradition of eating oysters and drinking beer till they puke. Awwww, so sweet.

Overall another fun episode of this great new series.

Positively Positive Review – The Good Guys: Pilot

The Good Guys Pilot Dan Jack

When I sit down to watch a brand new series, there’s a few things I look for to determine if I think it will be something I’ll continue to watch. Things like whether or not I care for the characters? Or does it make me feel any strong emotions (in other words, does it make me laugh or cry)?

By the second commercial break, I already knew that I was hooked – because by that time I had already laughed out loud at least 3 or 4 different times.

But it wasn’t just the humor that got to me, there was plenty more to like than just that. First off there’s the superb performances from Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks as Dan and Jack, partners who couldn’t be more opposites if they tried. Dan lives every day like it was still “the good old days”, back when he was a beat cop that didn’t have to play by any rules, while Jack is about nothing but rules. They work differently, talk differently and dress differently. They shouldn’t get along but somehow they do.

Then there’s the fact that hidden under all the broad comedy, there’s a little bit of heart too. Dan storming out of the bar after he finds out that no one wants him on a case he busted his ass on, was almost touching.

Finally there’s the music. How can I not like a show that plays songs like ‘I Fought The Law’ by The Clash, ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC and ‘The Stroke’ by Billy Squire? The fact that they featured ‘Slow Ride’ by Foghat in the preview clips for the upcoming season makes me very hopeful that we’ll continue to hear some great tunes on this show.

Oh and then there’s the car too. I’m not sure if a Trans Am will always make an appearance on the show, but I sure loved seeing it in this ep.

Oh and also the action. Car chases, crazy stunts with guys jumping onto moving cars and from moving cars into other moving cars, a Mexican standoff, trucks flipping over. So much fun!

Overall a strong showing from this brand new series which has me looking forward to more.
