Franklin & Bash Premieres on TNT on June 01, 2011

When they're not hanging out at their favorite hot dog stand pontificating on what they'd go through to enjoy a night with their favorite female celebrities, Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) are chasing down their latest clients...sometimes literally. With business cards in hand, they're ready to nab a client within seconds after a car accident, arrest for solicitation or any other incident where their legal services may be needed. Once in the courtroom, they show their flair for the dramatic and the shocking.

Peter has a knack for connecting with jury and judge, while Jared loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets. Despite their bad-boy antics, brash presentation and devil-may-care attitudes, Jared and Peter are good lawyers who are willing to do anything for a client, no matter who the client might be. That quality catches the attention of Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell), a Renaissance man and the patriarch of Infeld Daniels, one of the top law firms in Los Angeles. He sees a lot of himself in the young men and decides to recruit the pair to bring a fresh energy to the firm. Jared and Peter are joined by their two legal aides, the brilliant, brassy Carmen (Dana Davis) and the agoraphobic, verminophobic Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani).

Infeld's decision to take on fresh talent doesn't sit well with his nephew, Damien Karp (Reed Diamond), a lawyer who has his own plans for the firm and a particularly shifty way of doing business. The arrival of Jared and Peter also threatens Karp's romantic - albeit celibate - relationship with Hanna Linden (Garcelle Beauvais), a lawyer who takes an immediate liking to Jared.

In their new digs at Infeld Daniels, Jared and Peter handle a variety of clients, from a woman fired for being too beautiful to a family feud over a cherished baseball. But their story is really about the incredible friendship they've built and how their relationship is challenged now that they find themselves working in a more corporate atmosphere. Only time will tell if these devoted buddies can survive in this new environment.

Why do i think this will last as long as raising the bar ?

codebreaker

I was thinking the same thing

Well not a good first episode there were some amusing moments but most of what happen you could see coming. At least we have some background on all the characters include those two interns as why they were working Franklin and bash.

That's pretty much what I thought.  I was a take it or leave it episode.  Mostly it just seemed like 2 goof-off guys who "happen" to get noticed by a large firm.  They "happen" to get really nice offices where they are able to knock down a wall (yeah right) and then they "happen" to save the day at the end.

The agoraphob guy:   No WAY he would have left the house...those guys, their fear is tooo strong.

I give it a 4.  out of 10.

Who would of thought a joke would be the turning point of the case but what a way to die and the juror loosing it was priceless

bala

Well with the pressure about her wedding i wasn't surprised but why does the client always play that sort of character.

codebreaker

How crazy to make a bet on wining the case before knowing all the facts but being told the client was dismissed from her job at a men's magazine for being too attractive before seeing her was interesting but some of their methods was unorthodox

bala

Yeah but finding out reason behind her dismissal was very interesting Who thought she was jealous of her.What a great settlement for kids with missing plates in 3rd world country.

bala

Well what a way prove the breather only detect alcohol once it adsorbed in body and i wonder if that defence would work DUI   .

codebreaker

Her memory was impressive
