We rarely cover t.v. shows here on The Movie Bit (the name of the site says it all really), but when one of the greatest buddy cop movies of all is making the jump to the small screen, you better believe we have something to say about it. So yeah, the Lethal Weapon is coming to Fox sometime next year, with Damon Wayans (do we call him Sr. now? I really don’t know) as Murtaugh and Rectify’s Clayne Crawford as Riggs, and the first trailer for the project has come our way. Before I give you my thoughts on it, check it out for yourself below.
O.k., I’ve gotta hand it to them for getting the tone and humour pretty much right in this promo, but I really don’t think it can carry over to an entire series. Sure, it’s just one trailer, but I’m not entirely filled with confidence. Damon Wayans Sr. (see, that just looks weird to me) just seems to be recycling his Married with Kids schtick, and Crawford’s ‘keeerrrr-azy!!!!’ routine could get real old real fast. On top of that, they don’t nearly have enough chemistry that Danny Glover and Mel Gibson had. What do you think? Sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.
