TV show description:
This action comedy series is based on the Rush Hour feature film franchise. It follows a maverick LAPD detective and a by-the-book detective from Hong Kong who knock heads when they are forced to partner together.
Detective Lee (Jon Foo) is a reserved and honorable master martial artist with lightning-fast moves. He comes to Los Angeles to avenge his sister’s alleged death and learn more about her connection to a Chinese organized crime ring.
Meanwhile, Detective Carter (Justin Hires) is a wisecracking cop who plays by his own rules. Carter’s boss, Captain Lindsay Cole (Wendie Malick), often gets frustrated with him she knows he’s a brilliant detective who gets results.
Attempting to help the two partnered detectives get along is Sergeant “Didi” Diaz (Aimee Garcia), Carter’s friend and former partner who doesn’t hesitate to call him out on his antics.
Secretly aiding them as an informant is Carter’s cousin, Gerald (Page Kennedy). He’s a low-level offender who runs with a tough crowd.
Even as their cultures clash and tempers flare, Carter and Lee can’t deny they make a formidable team. They’ll also grudgingly admit that sometimes an unlikely pairing can make for a great partnership.
Episode #13 — Familee Ties
When a meeting of rival Los Angeles gang lords is orchestrated by the Quantou gang, Carter and Lee must infiltrate it to find Lee’s sister Kim and save her from going further with the Quantou.
First aired: August 20, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Rush Hour TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I sure wish they wren’t cancelling Rush Hour. I really enjoy it. It is entertaining to see their interaction. And I love pretty much any detective show.
This show should have been renewed. It’s a good show₩
this show should not have been cancelled. It was good clean fun
you leave garbage shows on that have more sex and violence and when a good show like this comes up you cancel. Shame on you
Completing agree
I love this show. I thought it was GONE! Now I see it on my TV programs. Will watch with great interest. The acting is SUPERB from wonderful actors. Glad to see Wendie Malick again. Loved her in the “Hot in Cleveland” series. I have written down all the scheduled dates so I don’t miss them. THANKS!!!!!
Renew please renew. There is so much junk on network tv. It Seems any decent show gets no chance
it should have been renewed it was hilarious like common Justin hayes is like a smaller version of chris tucker its great show bring it back!!!
This REALLY SUCKS!!!!!
My son LOVES this show all the action, he was waiting every week for Thursday… He never wanted to sit with mom & dad and watch TV but he would for Rush Hour! There aren’t many shows he likes and this is perfect for younger teens!!!
RUSH HOUR NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK!!!!!!
I loved this show it was funny and filled with action like I couldn’t wait fo . Season 2 I’m really upset like I don’t watch CBS that much and every Thursday I was even on demand too like this sucks I really loved that show
Please bring this show back on the air. I don’t care what channel, but it really needs to continue on. There are good plots, and I’m ready to see what happens with the sister. It needs to move forward.
Thank you
I absolutely loved Rush Hour. Every week it got better and better. I hope the show get brought back. I would love to see the 2nd season, and so on. Please bring the show back on the air.
Really???!!! Every single time I get hooked on a good new show it gets cancelled!!!!! I LOOOOVE the Rush Hour show!!!! It has plenty of action, comedy, and the cast is great!!!! You figure as much as we pay for cable or satellite in order to watch tv we’d have some say-so as to if a show gets cancelled or not!!!!! Netflix is WAAAAAY better!!!!! At least on Netflix I can save to my list what I want to watch!!!!! I REALLY HOPE THIS SHOW GETS BROUGHT BACK!!!!!! ☺
I enjoyed watching this show. I found Rush Hour’s content worthy of watching with my kids. There isn’t much out there these days that the content is too much on a level that just isn’t fun or even appropriate to watch with the family. Too bad CBS couldn’t hang on to this one and let the characters play out. I miss shows like Matlock and Diagnosis Murder. Just can’t find fun and entertaining programs like the latter on TV these days. Rush Hour came close and with more time and creative effort this show had potential. Perhaps Netflix or Freeform… Read more »
I really liked this show, thought the premise was ok, characters were good together, especially Gerald, I wish it had continued. How is people going to like anything when you don’t even give them time to warm up to a show? Only a handful of episodes and we’re supposed to be blown away? Sounds like a lot of people in charge of programs have ADSD, can`t seem to have a very long attention span, Bonanza and Gunsmoke would have never made it as long as they did if they were on now. Give shows a chance to find their niche,… Read more »
I wondered if the switch from movie to TV would work so I watched to find out. As the series progressed, I liked it more and more. There WAS chemistry between the characters. Of course all the shows I think are good are cancelled by TV executives. That’s why I increasingly watch cable TV.
I always looked forward to watching this show every week. It was hilarious and literally made me fall off my seat because it was so funny! There’s no reason why it should be cancelled!! #bringbackrushhour
