The Good Guys has its mild charms but nothing about its characters is believable; they're stock TV characters.

One suspects that every forthcoming episode will just be more of the same: two cops, one washed-out show.

What distinguishes The Good Guys is that it's essentially an action comedy, which lustily embraces those stereotypes, sending them up while also carrying a warm affection for them.

When it doesn't bore you, it provokes you to think, "Boy, is this dumb."

The witty scripts make it clear the series doesn't take itself too seriously, and Hanks and Whitford breathe new life into this standard formula.

The concept runs out of juice from trying so hard over the course of the first episode, and what's left is just another time-wasting crime procedural.

"The Good Guys" has promising elements.

"The Good Guys" succeeds with droll banter, good chemistry between Whitford and Hanks, and a decent, if well-worn, setup.

If you're looking for a show that only aims to give you a good time and a few laughs, you could honestly do a whole lot worse than The Good Guys.

The humor is madcap and inane where it should be wry, and the characters are stubbornly predictable.

With its head in the clouds and its heart in the eighties, Guys is well-suited to the breezy nature of summer entertainment, and a great companion to Nix's Miami spy show Burn Notice.
