My Thoughts:
Going by the pilot episode this could be a good series. At this time I would say it is a real shame it was canceled as quickly as it was. After only 7 episode! The series didn't even get a chance to make it. I felt this was a nice mixture of comedy and police action/drama. I liked the characters... they were quite a bit of fun.

My Rating:
