The television series "The Good Guys" is a comedy-drama that revolves around the partnership of two detectives in a police department. Dan Stark, a former big-shot detective, is now a washed-up detective who often spends his time reminiscing about his past accomplishments. His new partner is Jack Bailey, an ambitious and by-the-book detective who sometimes undermines himself with his sarcastic comments.
