Looks like I have a new drug to add to my TV addictions. The Good Guys stars Colin Hanks (Tom's son) and Bradley Whitford as mismatched partners assigned to investigate low-level property crimes for the Dallas PD. Whitford's character is a veteran detective who has developed what you might call a lackadaisical attitude about the job. Hanks is a young, by-the-book hard charger who yearns to work big cases, but is stuck babysitting Whitford after pissing off his superiors too many times. Apparently, it's not a good career move to correct your captain's grammar... in front of the Chief ("But there's no such thing as a statue of limitations").
The Good Guys was created by Matt Nix, who also created Burn Notice - another one of my TV addictions. If the premiere is any indication, this one's a keeper. Whitford and Hanks were awesome, the humor was nonstop, and the soundtrack included some good rock'n roll tunes (including AC/DC's "Thunderstruck"). It even had a kickass muscle car, the Pontiac Trans Am in the photo above.
If you're still not convinced, check out the promo.
