Andre Braugher playing the straight man bothers me.
It's giving Mario Batali a pot of water, a jar of ragu and some frozen ravioli. Oh sure, he may know some trick to make pre-fab spaghetti sauce and frozen pasta slightly better, but it's still frozen ravioli and Ragu.
It just feels like a waste of a hell of an actor.
Let's not act like Louis Gossett Jr. is up to anything these days. Hell, what's Yaphet Kotto's number? I'd watch this show if he showed up and just played Alonso Mosely from Midnight Run.
Ving Rames? Courtney Vance? Steve Harris just played a detective in Awake.
C'mon - we could've found a much less qualified guy to come in and play the straight laced black guy captain that Andy Samberg bounces off of, right?
