TNT’s new hour-long legal comedy/drama FRANKLIN & BASH, which premieres tomorrow at 9 PM, is named for its two attorney protagonists.

In the pilot, the two lawyers are recruited by Malcolm McDowell’s Stanton Infeld to bring their unconventional talents to his heavy-hitting L.A. law firm Infeld Daniels. Gosselaar, known for NYPD BLUE, wrapped up a two-year […]Read On »

The series picks up six months after the invasion as a disparate group of people band together for survival and to stand and fight for humanity’s survival.
