With charming cast and funny events, Franklin & Bash really continues to impress us with episode 5 titled “You Can’t Take It With You.” This is now one of my favorite shows this summer.
TV Fanatic: “You Can’t Take it With You” had some perfectly cast characters come on board, starting with Tom Arnold as “The Douchey Dad.” First, it wouldn’t surprise me at all to find this reality show already on TV somewhere… and to find it starring Arnold.
Then, we had Beau Bridges as Jared Franklin’s dad. He played the part well. In one moment, he was so condescending that he was practically patting Jared on the head, and then you caught a hint of a proud but regretful father.
It looked like Jared’s father was the only one who could knock the cocky arrogance out of Franklin, yet he still made him want to get up and keep fighting.
I also liked that there was obvious bad blood between Leonard Franklin and Stanton Infeld. I look forward to finding out more about that back story.
Could we bring Judge Bayles back again for future episodes? It was nice to have a judge willing to smack down both sides when they got out of line, lookinf equal parts beleaguered and amused while she did it.
Elsewhere, Pindar has grown on me since the first episode. When Karp explained that he “relaxed himself” during the sleep study, it was Pindar’s pause before he got the metaphor that made it funny.
Add the “I’m more of a Mac guy” line and the “I Only Look Illegal” t-shirt and again and I couldn’t stop smiling.
Overall, episode 5 of Franklin & Bash is another commendable episode. I have no complains because I really love this show.
