This new series bout a detective on TV3 on thursday nites.
has the makings of a good show but comon!!!!!!!!

ed o neill (al bundy) will always be seen as the lazy,good for nothing shoe salesman from married with children....i might be a little harsh but i just cant visualise him solving crime so thus the whole show is ruined

anyone have any opinions

It was shown on itv a while ago. Pretty crap really, not sure how they expected it to be taken seriously considering the Dan Ackroyd/Tom Hanks spoof movie of the original series.

It got cancelled in the US after only one series was made.

Wheeler

not surprised. rubbish.its al bundy for god sake

Which explains why TV3 bought it....

Wheeler

exactly

Thank you!!

It's not just me then.

I had to turn over after 10 minutes because all i could see was Al Bundy.

It was like watching Hetty Wainthrop at first, all you could see was Hyacinth Bucket.

ya...its like when an actor spends so long being a charactar of that magnitude they remain that character in real life in most ppls eyes. mark hammill did the best thing and did very little movies after star wars........he has come out on top over it

No way in Hell I'd watch this, not cos it was cancelled--lots of decent stuff gets cancelled all the time-- but this show....premise & cast is pretty crap.

Umm did Hamill do it out of choice or 'coz nobody wanted him due to him being so well-known and kinda a crap actor? I mean I don't call it "coming out on top" when your credits now include Wing Commander IV and a series of TV guest appearances where you mock yourself.

Mark was also in Wing Commander III, but don't forget his masterful performance in the B-movie 'Guyver'/'The Mutronics' where he turns into a big blobby monster thing, surely a highlight of any career

i watched this show on when it was on utv and i liked it..

it wasnt ed o neill i found hard to take seriously, more like his twelve yo parnter..
but once i got over that i thought it was pretty good..
better than alot of whats thrown our way.. especially half the crap sky one would have us watching.. jake 2.0/the handler #shudder# .. .

He's a good voice actor though - he does the voice for The Joker in the Batman Animated series and it's successors...
