The second episode of Franklin and Bash improves by leaps and bounds upon the pilot, but it still is not something I can really see myself watching. When the fall comes around we will have the gold standard of legal dramas The Good Wife, and we will also have Harry's Law back, so I might as well just wait for those. You can't go wrong with a Fred Willard guest spot like this episode had, you also had Natalie Zea, one of the more underrated TV actresses out there, but the plot was just so generic with the younger wife on trial for killing her older husband.
If this show is to succeed they need to focus on creative cases, not creative ways to try those cases and it seems like they are going with that. Funny and goofy lawyers, it has been done before, but funny trials could work.moreless
