This is what is wrong with tv now- all you need is this simple formula
Have a story about and ex (insert either marine or special forces) who is now a PI or some other cool job
Have them have a cool (car,boat vehicle) Use either sci fi or action theme.
Have a side kick who is funny but doesnt upstage said star
Have equally hot female side kick who uses every oppurtunity to be in bikini or in states of undress (see opening them tunes)
Have them in bizarre impossible situations they cannot get out of but they find a tin opener and hey presto they have a tank with a rocket launcher andnuclear warhead-Cue lots of explosions
Finally have a cool theme tune where in the future lots of guys like us can reminiss about the golden age of tv and complain about how bad tv is nowadays
