Here is the plot description for “Franklin & Bash”:
“Franklin & Bash” is a buddy lawyer series starring Mark-Paul Gosselaar (“NYPD Blue”) and Breckin Meyer (“Rat Race,” “Robot Chicken”) as two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants street lawyers who cause a seismic culture clash when they join a legendary, button-down law firm.
Meyer plays Jared Franklin. He loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets. Whether they’re kicking back at their favorite hot dog stand, chasing down their latest clients (sometimes literally) or kissing their witness on the stand, this dynamic duo shows their flair for the dramatic and the shocking.
With business cards in hand, they’re ready to nab a client within seconds after a car accident, arrest for solicitation or any other incident where their legal services may be needed. Gosselaar as Peter, on the other hand, has a knack for connecting with the jury and judge. Despite their bad-boy antics, brash presentation and devil-may-care attitudes, Jared and Peter are good lawyers who are willing to do anything for a client no matter who the client might be.
That quality catches the attention of Stanton Infeld (Malcolm McDowell): a Renaissance man and the patriarch of Infeld Daniels (one of the top law firms in Los Angeles). He sees a lot of himself in the young men and recruits the pair to bring a fresh energy to the firm. Jared and Peter are joined by their two legal aides: the brilliant and brassy Carmen (Dana Davis) and the agoraphobic, verminophobic Pindar (Kumail Nanjiani).
Infeld’s decision to take on fresh talent doesn’t sit well with his nephew, Damien Karp (Reed Diamond). He’s a lawyer who has his own plans for the firm and a particularly shifty way of doing business. The arrival of Jared and Peter also threatens Karp’s romantic (albeit celibate) relationship with Hanna Linden (Garcelle Beauvais). She’s a lawyer who takes an immediate liking to Jared.
In their new digs at Infeld Daniels, Jared and Peter handle a variety of clients from a woman fired for being too beautiful to a family feud over a cherished baseball. But their story is really about the incredible friendship they’ve built and how their relationship is challenged now that they find themselves working in a more corporate atmosphere. Only time will tell if these devoted buddies can survive in this new environment.

FOLLOW OR BREAK RULES
ALWAYS FOLLOW RULES
Rules
Rules/laws are meant to be followed, but it’s sexier to bend them a little.
Rules meant to be...
Bent! Even the best rule has to be flexible. Life certainly is
Rules to be followed
Rules are made for the convenience of those making the rules. They’ll want them to be followed, of course.
Rules are good for the
Rules are good for the masses, because without rules there would be anarchy. But there should be people who break the rules to make social change. Especially if the rules are kind of crap. It takes people to stand up to them and break them.
rules all of the above
Rules are made because it’s natural to break or bend them when it’s convenient to us, no matter its violation impinges on somebody else well-being. Some rules are for our own good and that’s why most people (self-centeredly) follow them.
Myself, I comply with all good rules ;>
rules...
Rules are a necessity, some to maintain order, some to control the masses. But just as everything in life, rules can be broken. Thats the beauty of a democracy
Rules
Bend them. If that doesn’t work break them, unless you’re going to get arrested.
Followed, bent and broken.
Followed, bent and broken. Depending on the circumstance.
movie passes
At times when rules stand in the way of success has in television shows or movies they broke for the best.
