'Franklin and Bash' serves up light summer fare

Viewers who liked CBS’ “The Defenders” might also be drawn to TNT’s “Franklin & Bash,” which is basically “The Defenders Junior” with younger actors playing more carefree lead characters. A light, fairly unrealistic legal drama, “Franklin & Bash” (9 p.m. EDT Wednesday) is passive entertainment similar to the popular “blue sky” shows on USA (“Fairly Legal,” “Royal Pains,” etc.)

Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer, “Road Trip”) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, “NYPD Blue”) are ambulance-chasing defense attorneys — only they get to the scene before the ambulance.
