Number of seasons: 3
Jonathan Ames is a struggling novelist working as a journalist as he tries to find inspiration for a second book. After his girlfriend leaves him, Jonathan decides to moonlight as an unlicensed private investigator. His best friend Ray Hueston, a male genitalia-obsessed comic book artist, and George Christopher, the libertine magazine editor Jonathan works for and a father figure of sort for the young author, will assist the bored man in the new adventures that will come his way as a bumbling sleuth.
This 3 season series, originally aired on HBO, was created by the real Jonathan Ames, who wrote a fictional story using his real name for the main character. This show is off-beat and quirky, in a very charming way. The chemistry between the three main actors is solid on screen, and it was particularly nice to see Ted Danson on screen again.
Overall, this was a very entertaining show that lasted just long enough not to get stretched out too much. What we have here is a collection of 24 short episodes that are quite entertaining. There are also some interesting cameos to watch, from the likes of Mary Steenburgen, Olympia Dukakis, Patton Oswalt and Isla Fisher.
