I had some high hopes for Turner and Hooch. I thought you didn't need to be serious for a good show, innocent and light could also work if delivered well. However Turner and Hooch is a blend of unrealistic and extremely convenient story lines. Laura, for example, is supposed to be a credible detective and be smarter than her ex husband cop and doesn't get in any trouble.
I know Disney has a reputation for creating a certain brand and type of show/film. However pushing yourself in the corner could lead to an unimpressive show. I feel a more serious show with real villains, real danger but also being a barrel of laughs could have been a hit. For e.g. You could have had Scott as an underdog officer who couldn't get a break until he met Hooch. He could also have a complex and estranged sister. The list and blend of ideas could go on. But instead you had bland and lame characters who are just painful to watch. Complex and unique characters give more meaning to a show, not almost perfect fake ones. Missed opportunity here team.
