I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

What a jerky and arrogant show...I love it! Everything about Franklin & Bash is childish, they feel like the male version of Legally Blonde. Successful due to luck and charisma, not hard work. It's a crazy idea that makes the law fun. So far i've found that this show is more comedy drama than serious legal show. The cases just provide the outline of the episodes but Jared Franklin & Peter Bash are the stars.Even though everything feels so far away from reality that's not an issue. Their goofball antics are for your television viewing pleasure nothing more. Don't take it too serious and you'll find yourself getting sucked into their charm.

This show is hilarious! I've been watching it from the start. I generally prefer dramas (my current favorites are Mad Men, The Good Wife, Damages, Justified, and the Game of Thrones), and I don't like any current sitcoms at all, but this show really makes me laugh. The writing is sharp and witty, and the acting is outstanding — the actors walk a fine line, but stay just barely this side of over the top. Special props to Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Malcom McDowell. They get the best guest stars in, too. Cybill Shepherd, Seth Green, Rick Fox, Sean Astin, Jane Seymour, Kevin Nealon, Shiri Appleby (a new recurring role?), Beau Bridges (recurring role) — can't ask for much more. Like the theme song, too. For those viewers who want it to be a different type of show — too bad!

I decided to watch the first episode online, now that the show has reached its 7th episode. I wanted to see what it was like before I decided if I wanted to continue. As someone said in another review, this show is set for a younger demographic. It so reminds me of The Defenders but with younger lawyers. I loved the Defenders with James Belushi (an older lawyer) and Jerry O'Connell, not so old, but still a little more mature than Paul Michael Gossellaar and James Brecker (or Breckinmeyer). Anyway, what I liked about The Defenders is that, besides its often quirkiness, I really enjoyed the cases they worked on. I know watching one episode is not enough to judge, but there was a lot of quirkiness in Franklin & Bash, but the cases were not interesting enough for me. I think after having watched The Defenders, which I really liked, I feel that there was no need for F & B. Just bring back The Defenders and you'd practically have the same show.I also loved Paul Michael G in TnT's Raising The Bar, which I find was more exciting and interesting than F & B. There are people who'd like F&B, and if I have nothing else to watch, I'd probably watch it. But after getting so deeply engrossed in The Defenders, Raising the Bar, Harry's Law, which I love, Fairly Legal, which I love, The Whole Truth (which I loved but was cut after only about 5 episodes); and Outlaw with Jimmy Smit which I liked a lot, I can't find myself drawn to Franklin & Bash, and I don't feel it will last past one season.I'm really, really fed up of the networks and how they drop good shows and then bring back some of the same actors in a different named show with the same concept and precept, and sometimes the same role. I'm screening what I invest my time in, because these producers don't seem to know what they're doing, and frustrating people like myself who become engrossed in deep, interesting shows that get tossed over. If you want to watch F&B, feel free. The actors are great to look at (always loved Reed Diamond too), but it's not enough for me to be engrossed in.

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.
