I have always liked William Conrad and Joe Penny. This is a fun series. The banter between the 2 leads is funny. The series can be serious or light hearted. J.L. is Gregg but he can be kind hearted also. I love the dog. He adds some great dialog. What makes me laugh is I have the feeling J.L. can't cook. He is always asking Jake to cook. I feel sorry for Jake because J.L. is always raiding his fridge. Priceless....
