They Fight Crime

Last year when Stephen J. Cannell (A*Team) died, I discovered something magical.

Tenspeed and Brownshoe.  

It starred Ben "Bye Bye Life" Vereen as a hustler slash detective nicknamed Tenspeed.

Got that?  Pretty awesome.

It also starred Jeff Goldblum.  As an accountant.  Nick named Brownshoe.

All three of those things happened on CBS in 1980.

Now, what could a show about a hustler slash detective with an impressive musical theater background and an accountant who would be a future Mr. Geena Davis be about?  What could they possibly have in common?  What could their relationship be?

Together, they fight crime.

Those four words punctuated by that comma and period encapsulate all that I find right in the world.  Inspired by this, I came up with my own Stephen J. Cannell series.  The brilliance of pairing up Ben Vereen and Jeff Goldblum had been used up, so what to use?  What did I have laying around at work to inspire crime fighting brilliance?

This also makes an awesome postcard.
