    I thought I was the only one who was still watching this show. Or ever did.

    It has to be doing well, if it wasn't it would have died over the summer.

    No, it's not getting good ratings, it did not in fact do very well over the summer. We need to hope this second half of the season gets some viewers or it will be all she wrote for Dan and Jack. :(

    This show is great. I can't imagine how it's not the #2 show on TV behind Chuck!

    Same here. Also horrified to see how much Bradley Whitford has aged...

    It's a fun show, Whitford is hilarious, the criminals are usually entertaining, plus I like picking out locations in Dallas.

    That's called "makeup".

    Okay, maybe they've made him a little pastier than usual for the sake of the character, but unless they're padding his costumes, Josh Lyman needs some treadmill time...

    They are padding his costume. He wears a 'belly' under his shirt for most of the filming.

    ^Thanks.

    Anyway, I'm not feeling the chemistry. If I'm gonna watch a funny odd-couple combo, it'll be The Defenders.

    That would presuppose that Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connel are playing characters with different personalities, but they're pretty similar. I love that show, too.

    They are "on the same page" as far as the cases they take and why, but the contrast between the alcoholic shlub with the sad-clown face who just wants to spend more time with his kid, and Mr. $200 Shirt and Alligator Shoes who's sleeping with the enemy in between showgirls and flight attendants is fun.

    I have a feeling they're the same guy, just 20 years apart. And back to Good Guys, I'm liking how Colin Hanks is starting to loosen up and listen to his 'gut' more.

    So maybe Stark was just like Hanks 20 years ago? ;)

    No, I think Stark has always been Stark. This week's episode should be interesting, with Stark's old partner in the mix.

    Whitford is awesome but I'd watch this show even if it was just an hour of that strawberry blonde doing her laundry.

    It's great your emotionally investing in a show that has like 10 episodes left in it.

    But on the other hand, at least it still has about 10 episodes left in it.
