This show is a joy and a pleasure to watch. Jim and Jerry tow top laywers with a comedic twist. They're both hilarious. This week they defended a woman who hit a jogger, and claimed she was on her cell phone and wasn't paying attention. But with the records they proved she wasn't The woman ran out in front of her. She had a daughter who Jim's wife watched will she was on trial. Really a delightful show. It follows "Criminal Minds" :thumbsup:

It's hilarious:lol: From the TV Guide~

Here's a little know fact~
It's really filmed in Las Vegas, and the new legal drama, with a comedy twist starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell play characters inspired by the nororious Las Vegas defense attorney's Michael Cristalli and Marc Saggese-and the real guys are often on the set as technical consultants "It's been great having them around to pump information", says Belushi. "They're not hustlers, they're honest, stand-up guys, but in a way treat the courtroom like a stage and it can get very theatrical, here's what's even better:they're brilliant when it comes to the law-true geniuses-but complete morons when it comes to women, that's why it's a blast to play"!
 
So, I thought all the promos looked stupid, and I was wondering just how good another Jim Belushi series could be... but I have been pleasantly entertained. It's definitely better than L&O:LA is so far.
 
Nick defends a stripper charged with solicitation. Meanwhile, Pete is forced to take an undesirable case after he loses at poker

So happy to see Alona guest star on tonight's episode as the stripper lol. She'll always be Jo! :)
Pete's case was really good and I liked how he dumped the prosecutor girlfriend at the end after she was going after the innocent guy after she knew he was innocent.
Jim Belushi and the kid in the beginning was really funny.
"What's your name"
"S....S...Sammy." hahaha.
 
What a totally entertaining, delightful show. Well scripted and well acted. Jim Belushi, a riot. I'd never really seen him before beside a few snippets form his sit-com, but he's so good, And Jerry as well, how he had to defend him and charged him so funny. The two different cases the kid Mason innocent and another kid who lied but finally came clean when talked to harshly by O'Connell. So he was found not guilty, and their co-partner getting off a hooker that also was innocent of the charge soliciting for sex. They sure do throw back the booze too:lol: and his boy and the baseball game and taking him to a stripper club, much to the chagrin of the wife [their seperated] and he can't seem to accept it. I think this is a winner:thumbsup:
 
It was surprisingly funny. Mainly because I think most of us in the U.S. can related to the campy law firms who advertise on TV. In L.A., it's Jacoby & Meyers. Here in Phoenix it's Bob Goldwater (aka Barry's nephew), who will happily sue someone for you if you've taken any pill stronger than Children's Tylenol in the past 30 years, or if you happened to inhale some asbestos back in the 1940s building the Cyclotron at Oak Ridge Lab. :D
 
My mom and I love this show. It's was funny. It's about Nick gave Peter a bill. And he at it on Peter about the phone about not answered it.
 
I got my daughter into this, and during a commercial she called and goes" I love it, great acting great story and funny too":lol:

On the fire he claims he was fishing at Lake Mead when the fire broke out. He had 3 restuarants that were sinking financially, and they find a charred body amost the debris. Nick [Jim Belushi] is a wreck cause' he's dieting. and jumps down everyones throats.:(He eid hire someone to do this, but not the murder. guy in wrong place wrong time. so he gets off with a 2 yr, prison sentence~

The guys who lost $$$ they paid that off so they wouldn't have bad publicity. THis show is just delightful and serious at the same time~
