He&#8217;s dashing, unflappable, quippy and absolutely irresistible to the ladies. In his tony British accent he introduces himself as &#8221;Dial. Carlton Dial.'&#8221; Remind you of anyone?<\/p>\n<p>No, not Floyd the Barber. I was thinking of James Bond. So, obviously, was Fox. But this 007 knockoff is so callow and cartoonish, it won&#8217;t make anyone forget Roger Moore &#8212; or even George Lazenby for that matter. Because our hero is a mercenary, not a government agent, you can forget the license to kill. In fact, with several lawsuits pending against Intercept, the only gun Dial can legally carry shoots tranquilizer darts. Dial&#8217;s annoying refrain when leaping into action (whether antagonistic or romantic) is, &#8221;You just said the magic words.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sure it&#8217;s weak and witless entertainment, but it&#8217;s harmless enough. And that may be all you can handle after your brain has been pounded into tapioca by six hours of football. The show&#8217;s only real asset is Frankel, who could give Lucky Vanous a run for his torso. Uh-oh! I believe I just said the magic words.
