Synopsis:

Spoiler:
After the ex-governor's son (guest star Ethan Suplee), who was rescued by Dan and his former partner 25 years ago, is kidnapped by drug dealers, Dan is framed for the crime and forced into hiding. With Dan on the lam, Jack must find the real kidnappers and prove his partner's innocence, while Dan, out of options, must turn to an old partner, the legendary Frank Savage (guest star Gary Cole), for help.

After reading that synopsis, I think we may end up with a classic. Great guest star.

I love this show! Easily one of the best episodes of the series.

Gary Cole was perfect as Frank Savage. I'm so glad that before the series is over we got to see Savage & Stark in action together.

Frank: "Speakin' of smokin'...you down for a double team?"
Lt. Ruiz: "The answer is still no."



I loved Dan's female voice asking Jack to come back and finish sexing him up.

Ethan Suplee was great together. It was pretty funny hearing Dan constantly referring to him as a sweet little boy or child.

Jack knowing instantly that they were doing the "take your partner hostage" routine was awesome, as was his immediate explanation of when Savage & Stark did the "Everest".

the two pot dealers..
/after one shares a stupid idea
bad guy one: "What have you been smoking!!?"
bad guy two: "Pot"
lol..
pretty good but every ep of this show has been great IMO.. It's too bad that it's not racking in the viewer numbers.. Little strange to see the guy who played Randy on my Name is Earl, playing an even stupider character..

Great episode. My only complaint is that we didn't see more of Savage & Stark working together. Gary Cole busting up the bar long after it was necessary had me .

I liked this, too. Jack and Dan are truly becoming partners. Jack scaling the Cotton Bowl was hilarious.


I don't understand music licensing. So many TV on DVD releases have been delayed or altered due to the cost of licensing the music, but this little FOX show can afford:

Bohemian Rhapsody
The Boys Are Back In Town
Ramblin' Man
You Can't Always Get What You Want


Four stone cold rock classics. Dan couldn't find Foghat on the jukebox, though - I guess they were too expensive.

Right now this is my absolute favorite action comedy on television, even ahead of Chuck. Just the sheer number of laugh-out-loud moments of Dan trying shaving his mustache, taking his partner hostage, saving "sweet little Andy" and implying he had a three-way with Savage and his wife on the night they met was great.

Oh my god, this episode was EPIC! Best of the series.

I'd love to see a Savage & Stark flashback episode.

But jeez, nobody is watching this spectactular show. 2.33 million viewers to what was the most awesome hour on TV. 0.8 in the demos. The only positive is that bit retained almost all of its lead-in (A House rerun).

I so want this to continue. Fox either has to keep it going or maybe another network can pick it up.
