Franklin & Bash was a legal comedy-drama television series that aired on TNT from 2011 to 2014. The show followed two unconventional lawyers, Peter Bash and Jared Franklin, who were portrayed by Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, respectively. The duo worked at the fictional law firm Infeld Daniels, which was headed by Stanton Infeld, played by Malcolm McDowell.

The premise of the show was centered around how the two lawyers, Franklin and Bash, would try to win cases by using unique and unconventional methods that often defied the norms and traditions of the legal profession. Their unorthodox strategies and tactics included using pop culture references, pulling pranks, acting out of character, and exploiting legal loopholes to achieve their desired results.

As the show progressed, Franklin and Bash became known for their ability to take on difficult cases and win them with their charm, wit, and fearless approach to legal practice. Along the way, they also became best friends, and their personal dynamic added an extra layer of entertainment to the show.

Apart from the two main characters, the show also featured a diverse and talented cast of supporting characters. Breckin Meyer's character, Peter Bash, was portrayed as a high-energy, loud-mouthed lawyer who was always up to date with the latest pop culture trends. He was also shown to be impulsive and prone to taking risks, which often got him into trouble.

On the other hand, Mark-Paul Gosselaar's character, Jared Franklin, was laid-back and easy-going. He had a more traditional approach to practicing law but was always ready to follow Bash's lead and do what it takes to win a case. He was also shown to be a ladies' man, which often led to humorous situations.

Malcolm McDowell's character, Stanton Infeld, was the head of the Infeld Daniels law firm. He was presented as eccentric and unpredictable, often getting involved in the cases himself and providing his unique brand of legal advice. He was also shown to have a soft spot for Franklin and Bash, often indulging them in their unconventional methods.

Other major cast members included Reed Diamond, who played Damien Karp, the head of the litigation department at Infeld Daniels, and Garcelle Beauvais, who played Hanna Linden, a senior partner at the law firm. Both these characters added depth and complexity to the show, providing a contrast to the more light-hearted tone of Franklin and Bash.

Throughout its four seasons, Franklin & Bash continued to provide its viewers with an entertaining and refreshing take on the legal drama genre. The show combined humor, drama, and suspense in a way that was both engaging and satisfying. It was a perfect example of how a legal drama could be entertaining without sacrificing substance.

Overall, Franklin & Bash was a well-written, well-acted, and well-produced show that entertained audiences for four seasons. It had a unique premise and a talented cast of characters that made it stand out from other legal dramas. Although the show has been off the air for a few years, it continues to have a loyal fan base and is still considered to be one of the best legal comedies of all time.

Franklin & Bash is a series that is currently running and has 4 seasons (40 episodes). The series first aired on June 1, 2011.
