This episode covers the morality of corporate revenge, consumer recalls (or lack thereof), immoral televangelists, and the city shutting down a la The Trigger Effect (which was an underrated movie). The ending was touching, when Lee said "It's an honor".
Rush Hour deserved more than 1 season. It didn't even get a full season, but only 13 episodes. Perhaps Rush Hour can be revived following the success of the Lethal Weapon TV series. In this episode Wendie Malick, who plays the police captain, is the focus as she's in the middle of a hostage situation big time at the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry.
Anyway there's a lot of ethnic jokes and humorous ethnic references in Rush Hour. In episode 7 for instance you had the classic line from Carter..."Freakin' Australians!! Do you know they take all our movie roles? Russell Crowe, Chris Hemsworth." This is the first of many ethnic mis-references from James, as Russell Crowe is a New Zealander, not Australian. Also in that episode James makes Japanese references to his Chinese partner Jonathan Lee (played by Jon Foo),and Jonathan politely correctly corrects him, although Jonathan failed to recognize Russell is from New Zealand. Australians, New Zealanders...to some they all look alike I guess.
Toby Emmerich is an executive producer of this series. Toby's the brother of Noah "The Truman Show" Emmerich. I don't think they are related to Roland "Independence Day" Emmerich.
