The Good Guys was a comedy-drama TV show that premiered on FOX in 2010. Created by Matt Nix, the show followed two Dallas police detectives who had different approaches to solving crimes. Bradley Whitford, famous for his role in The West Wing, played Dan Stark, an old-school detective who was known for his unconventional ways. Dan was a former hero cop who caught the biggest criminals in the city back in the '80s. He had a reputation for being a bit of a wild card, and he had a tendency to bend the rules to get the job done.

Colin Hanks played Jack Bailey, a young and ambitious detective who was assigned to work with Dan. Jack was the exact opposite of Dan; he was by the book and liked to play things safe. He was also a bit of a technophile and always had the latest gadgets to help solve crimes.

Despite their differences, Dan and Jack had great chemistry on the show. They were constantly bickering and trying to one-up each other, but they both had a deep respect for each other's abilities. Their dynamic was the driving force behind the show, and it made for some hilarious moments.

Jenny Wade played Liz Traynor, Jack's ex-girlfriend and the Assistant District Attorney. Liz had a no-nonsense attitude and was always trying to keep Jack out of trouble. She also had a bit of a crush on Dan, which led to some awkward moments between the three characters.

The show featured a variety of different crimes and cases, ranging from bank robberies to murder investigations. Each episode was self-contained and could be watched as a standalone episode, but there was also an overarching storyline that tied everything together.

One of the standout episodes of the series was "Dan on the Run", where Dan becomes the prime suspect in a series of burglaries. The episode was shot in a unique style, with Dan narrating the events as they unfolded. The episode also featured an extended car chase that was both thrilling and comedic.

The Good Guys received positive reviews from critics, who praised the show's humor and the chemistry between the two lead actors. However, the show struggled to find an audience and was canceled after one season.

Overall, The Good Guys was a fun and entertaining show that was a great showcase for the talents of Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks. Despite its short run, the show has developed a cult following and remains a fan favorite over a decade later.

The Good Guys is a series that ran for 1 seasons (20 episodes) between May 19, 2010 and on FOX
