Franklin & Bash

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.

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.

When I first heard about this show I was sure that it was going to be one of those Law dramas without any purpose and no story line from episode to episode.

However, as I began to watch the show I realized that it was a perfect blend of comedy and court room drama. The actors in this show really portray their characters very well.

Although this show is not full of meaningful and heartwarming lessons of life, it is just purely a comedic and dramatic master peace which can be appealing to any age group, ranging from teenagers to grandparents.

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!

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.
