This didn't last long enough for me to rate it.

This premiered after the Super Bowl in 1990. It lasted only six episodes before being cancelled. Perhaps it wasn't a great series, but I liked it. Anyway, comedian Paul Rodriguez played a bounty hunter named Pedro Gomez, and John Schneider (from The Dukes of Hazzard, and later Smallville) played a bounty hunter named Dennis 'Hardball' Bakelenoff. The two of them had very different styles and methods (Gomez's weapon of choice was a taser, and Hardball's was a baseball), but they were forced to work together for some reason (I forget why). They didn't really like each other, but I thought they were both pretty good. And I guess they opened a detective agency together, though I still remember them more as bounty hunters. (Which involved some investigation, anyway.) Well... it was kinda funny and stuff. I barely remember the show, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Which is terribly unlikely to ever happen. Oh, and I should say that I often think of the show as "Hardball and Gomez," rather than by its actual title. And Gomez drove a lowrider. And the show's theme song was War's "Low Rider."
