The Good Guys -- Summer Finale -- "Don't Tase Me Bro" -- 08/02/10

The Good Guys

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
A crime family dispatches an assassin to kill a man in the Witness Protection Program after Dan accidentally exposes the man's identity, and it's up to Dan, Jack and a beautiful U.S. Marshal to keep the witness alive.


Episode 9 of 20

This is the last episode of the Summer

It returns Friday September 24th at 9pm after the season premiere of Human Target.

Last week's episode was so fucking good, I was crying at how funny it was.

Looking forward to this and hopefully it hangs in there come September.

"I'm sorry you screamed like a girl when I shot you with my toy plastic gun"

How can anyone not love this show?

I am gonna miss this show until September. Another great episode tonight. I could almost imagine Mary Shannon from In Plain Sight as the U.S. Marshall here. Loved when Dan realized she was female version of him "it's like looking in the mirror and having the hottest chick in the world staring back."

Todd Louiso as the hitman was great. I love how they manage to deconstruct the villains in this show and give them mundane and "real life" issues to deal with.

I might watch all 9 episodes again before the fall debut...

This show is hilarious. It's a crying shame it doesn't have a bigger audience. FOX may have screwed up by trying to launch it in the summer.

I love the "rewinds" the show does, and Bradley Whitford & Colin Hanks make a great team. The tasing scene with Jack was , and I loved that they called back to it with Jack tasing Dan.

I love this show. I hope it makes it in the fall, but Friday nights are usually a killer on shows like this. The female US Marshall was smokin'.

This show is hysterical and I am totally with it on Fridays. Nice paring with Human Target.

Also, this show needs more Jenny Wade walking in and walking away...

I LOVE this show. I laugh my ass off every week. If they dare cancel it I will be forced to send Guido to pay them a visit! *lol*

While Whitford and Hanks are a great team, the whole "rewind" concept is what makes this show for me. They're always hilarious. Some f-ed up situation happens and then ZIP BACK and now you know why.

I don't understand why FOX did just run episodes through to the end of the year, put it on hiatus during the holidays and finish out a 22 episode season in January before the other networks return with new episodes.

I have no idea.
I watched this episode on the DVR last night and I was on the floor in tears. What the hell does it take?

Nope. Paired with this. Kind of a last minute thing as far as I know. I'd heard nothing about Human Target being renewed until FOX's full schedule was released.

Human Target was renewed the same day as Lie to Me in May. From what I could tell it was down to the wire. Both got 13 episode orders with the option for more.

As for the Good Guys, I hope it makes it to finish out the final 11 episodes.

Great show, glad (and surprised) that it wasn't canceled yet.

Fianlly caught up and saw the finale, I love this show. I was laughing the whole time and that DA/Hanks ex keeps getting hotter. I loved Dan saying all that shit to the chick cop and just end up sleeping with her. Its so cheesy and I doubt it works in real life, but hell, Im gonna try it for laughs

And how awesome is the music in the show? The classic rock and metal tunes really make the show for me.

I love this show and really wish it would find a larger audience. I love that it doesn't take itself too seriously and uses over-the-top action and cop cliches. It's so effective and well-executed and everyone plays well off one another. It really is a shame the show isn't doing all that great ratings-wise.

I noticed on the preview for the fall episodes they said "New Season," which struck me as odd since it's just a continuation of this first (and unfortunately probably only) season. I hope when they release this on DVD they release it in production order. I have a feeling that the episodes will be much more enjoyable in the correct order.

I thought the first episode or two were just ok, but this show has really grown on me. Bradley Whitford plays the perfect cop stuck in the 70's and 80's.

Some changes announced for the Fall season of The Good Guys. They are hoping to attract some more female viewers.

A new female recurring character is being added. Also, RonReaco Lee, who played Julius, will recur alot more in the fall episodes.

I'd rather see Jenny Wade's role expanded than adding another character.

It's a moot point anyway, as I'm sure this show won't last past its initial run. Which sucks.
