Have 2 episodes on the DVR and not sure if I'll ever watch them. The show had some much premise....but it's just not very good.

I don't agree with you there. I think since week 2 or 3 the show has found it's groove. Whitford and Hanks are hilarious as partners. I think it's really wacky and offbeat humor may be a turnoff to some and that's why it's struggling to find an audience.

I thought the pilot was really mediocre, but then after the following 2-3 episodes I started enjoying the show. Nothing spectacular and I won't throw a fit if it gets cancelled, but it's entertaining enough.

The scene with Hanks tied to the chair and he's flailing his arms realizing that he can't reach the ropes had me rolling.

This show is fucking hilarious. Dan's goodfella act was a riot. at him covering up his crotch when the rednecks drew out their guns. There was so much good stuff that I wish this was on cable, so I could see it again in repeats. You can tell Bradley Whitford is having a great time with such an over-the-top character.

I hope the show finds an audience in the Fall, though I doubt it will.

This show would be a huge hit on USA, paired up with Psych.

Honestly, I just shake my head in amazement at how this show hasn't been able to find ratings. And the only thing I can think of is that a pure guy show just can't make it these days. Though debuting in the summer doesn't help either.

Hopefully the team of Human Target and The Good Guys will give FOX a fighting chance on fridays. But if for some reason FOX can't make it work, I hope USA scoops it up.

Yes, Whitford is great in that he keeps getting bigger and more over-the-top with the character. I liked how he let the "gang of mobsters" go this episode and the father of the meth addict go a few episodes ago.

I like the chemistry betweem him and Hanks' character and between Hanks and the ADA, not to mention the Ally-McBeal-short skirts that she wears.

I think this is a great show. I think Hanks is oming into his own. One can really see shades of his fathers earlier works in certain scenes. Whitford is an absolute riot. Such a great character. Jenny Wade is hot as always. Though There is something weird going on with her voice. Sounds different than it did on Reaper. Maybe a Texan accent? The only negative I have seen so far, is that they seem to have aired some episodes out of order. Caused me to do a "Huh?" earlier in the season.

I really like this show too. It's light and fun with very likeable leads. It feels like a USA show to me as well. I hope it finds a bigger audience in the fall but Friday night is a tough spot. However, paired with Human Target, another show that is light/fun and coasts on the charisma of the cast, maybe something will click and these shows will stick around for a while. I sure hope so.
