In addition to series regular Malcolm McDowell, this season is peppered with cameos from stars like Seth Green, Chris Klein, Cybill Shepherd, and Beau Bridges, just to name a few.

The episodes are new, the tone is light, and the cast is hot. If you're sick of reruns and need something fresh to spice up your Tuesday routine, then click over to F&B, adjust the base, and let the alpine blast, 'cause it's summertime.
At first blush, "Franklin & Bash" sounds like an unfortunate double date for TNT's improbably popular crimeshow "Rizzoli & Isles." Get past the ampersand, though, and what's left is an unexpectedly quirky legal show that has as about much to do with law as "CSI" does with science. Starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Breckin Meyer as two ambulance-chasing lawyers recruited to join a big fusty firm, the show is playful, silly and wholly unpretentious. Having previously starred as an attorney in TNT's "Raising the Bar," Gosselaar and company deliver a more compelling case here against being summarily dismissed.
Behaving like two frat boys on an extended spring break, Jared Franklin (Meyer) and Peter Bash (Gosselaar) are noticed by Stanton Infeld (a wonderfully weird Malcolm McDowell, mirroring his "Entourage" crazy-rich-guy role), the Zen-spouting partner at a corporate enterprise. He brings them aboard with the stated hope they'll shake up the firm's energy, which Franklin takes as an invitation to "mess with the zombie culture," immediately butting heads with Infeld's buttoned-up nephew (Reed Diamond).
The cases prove little more than an afterthought to showcase the central duo's wacky courtroom theatrics, which are overshadowed by their shut-in, phobia-wracked researcher (Kumail Najiani), who, unburdened by a filter, blurts out things like, "I am going to go masturbate."
Sex is very much on the program's mind, with cases involving a dominatrix, a young wife accused of killing her older husband via intercourse and an airline pilot charged with neglecting his duties while participating in an act worthy of mile-high-club membership. Perhaps that's why the best hour previewed is the most restrained, involving a plain woman utterly convinced she's been fired from a Playboy-like company because she's so distractingly beautiful.
Both Bash (still pining for his ex-girlfriend) and Franklin (his dad was a big-time litigator) tote around slightly more serious baggage, but happily, they don't pull it out often enough to detract from the fun. The producers have also surrounded them with a deep cast, including McDowell, Garcelle Beauvais as an alluring attorney, and Najiani and Dana Davis as the pair's sidekicks.
We've all seen lawyer shows. Lots and lots of lawyer shows. And why not? It's a fascinating formula: well-dressed smart people defend and/or prosecute criminals in dramatic settings, leading to (mostly) justice!
Unfortunately, that formula can get a bit tired. But some lawyer shows manage to twist and freshen the concept just enough so that everything feels new again. Franklin & Bash does this just right.
The basic premise of the show is simple. Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) and Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) are two young, attractive and eccentric lawyers out to rule the legal world in their own unique way.
Initially, the partners are independent ambulance chasers who plan lunches around likely traffic-accident locations. Franklin and Bash run this law firm out of a home office that greatly resembles a frat house. The entire business consists of the two lawyers and their assistants: Carmen (Dana Davis), a young and beautiful convicted felon, and Pindar (Kumail Najiani), an agoraphobic genius.
Many shows would consider this enough. But not the overachievers of Franklin & Bash. After a brilliant court victory -- involving a model willing to strip on the stand -- the lawyers attract the attention of Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell), head of the Infeld Daniels law firm. Infeld offers our titular heroes oodles of money and power if they join the firm.
Now, your standard lawyer drama might introduce morals and ethics here. The hero lawyers have to stand on their own, free of corporate influence! That doesn't happen here.
Franklin and Bash happily abandon their humble office space (while still living in the house) for the soaring Infeld Daniels tower. Will the corporate world change these free spirits?
Nope. They just remake Infeld Daniels in their own image (knocking down office walls, playing video games, etc.). Of course, this irritates some of the old guard, most notably Damien Karp (Reed Diamond), Infeld's nephew and resident stick-in-the-mud. But the boys keep on winning, and it's kind of hard not to like them. The corporate world just has to adapt.
While the title of Franklin & Bash indicates this is a buddy show, Mark-Paul Gosselaar's Bash is the presumed star. Bash gets the more prominent cases and immediately gets such character-developing traits as a self-made career, a history as a ladies' man and an ex-girlfriend who happens to be a public defender. Also he gets to mess with his excellent hair a lot.
