A pair of Dial-A-Shyster lawyers
bkoganbing4 November 2017
This pilot episode of Franklin&Bash has our two guys as a pair of Dial- A-Shyster lawyers who are the last word in ambulance chasing. Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar are those selfsame attorneys whose cut up antics have drawn reproof from the stodgier members of the profession.

One of the leading members of the Los Angeles bar is Malcolm McDowell who invites them to his firm. They take the offer providing they can keep doing their own cases in their own way. What McDowell saw in court was them taking advantage of a most prurient judge's interest in the female anatomy.

These two play that judge like a piccolo. But when they draw the humorless Kathy Najimy a change in tactics is ordered and supplied.

Enjoyable pilot, wish this series was still running.

Not for children nor adolescents

Warning: Spoilers
Even thought the show starts by paying a tribute to the famous Lebanese dish "Hummus" yet in the following minutes the shows unveils its true aim, in dealing with the different aspects of corporate law in US. regarding the background of the stars of the show, you expect a total comedy show, yet it turns out deeper than expected. the show tries to paint a pleasant aspect of the lawyers life and job, but it starts with a dangerous message, the first victim (the one who's car was hit) admit that it was his mistake, his fault, yet since he had the choice of having a lawyer who was able to outwit the jury, he won the case, and the lawyer was depicted as the person who turns a lie into an acceptable and rewarded thing, and in the very beginning of the show Franklin says it clearly "we make the law". No all these concepts can be received with no danger by aware audience, yet if exposed to young minds it will give the wrong esteem to the wrong party, and since the show will have huge chances of being followed by young ones caution should be taken by the parents
