Help me remember the name of this cable show.

I think we may have had a thread on here about it.

I think it was on one of the non-premium networks. Something like FX, A&E, Bravo, etc., and I think it was on in the last 2 or 3 years.

I may not have all of the details right but I’ll describe it as best as I can.

It was set in the past. I think it was the eighties. The main characters were two guys, friends, who had been 60s radicals but were now disillusioned, down on their luck, and reduced to doing farm labor.

One was white, the other black. The black guy was gay.

They were hired by a man who wanted them to dive in a river to find a submerged car that contained a suitcase full of money. They had difficulty finding it and once they did they then had trouble from a violent psychopath and his spandex clad girlfriend who wanted to take it from them.

IIRC, the show was named after the two men: “Joe and Bob”, “Doofus and Rufus”, something like that.

I’m trying to remember the name of the show and where I saw it.

I saw one season and I’m wondering if there were, or will be, more.

Hap and Leonard. On the Sundance TV channel and according to IMDb season 2 starts March 15.

Yes! That’s it. Thank you! I knew I’d get the answer here.

Where the hell did you get “Doofus and Rufus”? :slight_smile:

5

Maybe he panicked when he couldn’t remember “Tenspeed and Brown Shoe”?

I was just giving examples of how the name of the show was constructed, e.g. name and name. I didn’t think that that might be the actual name.

7

I would totally watch a show called “Doofus and Rufus.”

8

Reboot!

I’d at least give it a shot.

I started to watch it, but that was around the time I also watched a movie on Sundance that had edited out the swearing and nudity. I can live with commercials, like on IFC, but morphing from a premium channel into a basic cable channel? That I can’t forgive.

I haven’t watched anything on Sundance since then.

I’ve heard it both ways.
