Keen Eddie

Encyclopedia : K : KE : KEE : Keen Eddie

Keen Eddie is an action/dramedy television series, first airing in 2003, about a brash American police detective who is sent to help solve crimes in London. The basic premise of the show bears a close resemblance to the popular 1980s British series Dempsey & Makepeace, the only notable difference being that the female partner has been replaced by a female housemate. Stylistically, the series derived inspiration from British feature films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both written and directed by Guy Ritchie.

The hour long series was scheduled to be a midseason replacement, but was postponed and instead aired in summer 2003. As a result, the ratings of the show decreased each week, not helped by American Juniors as the show's lead-in. The Fox Network then tried to move the show to Thursdays, but canceled it after its first airing in the new timeslot.

The American cable network Bravo picked up the series, including the episodes never aired on Fox. All thirteen episodes of the series were released on DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment in 2004.

In Australia, Channel 10 have aired Keen Eddie, first during the spring-summer of 2004; and second during winter 2005. Both were aired late after midnight.

Plot

[Spoiler warningSpoiler warning]: Plot and/or ending details follow.
After his investigation into an oxycodone ring results in a botched drug bust, New York police Detective Eddie Arlette is sent to London to assist Scotland Yard with its work on the same case. Eddie and his British police partner, Inspector Monty Pippin, help crack the case, and Eddie is asked to stay on at Scotland Yard.

In addition to his work, Eddie has an adversarial relationship with Fiona, who occupies the flat he is renting from her parents; she begrudgingly puts up with him (and his Bull Terrier, Pete), because he has threatened to reveal to her parents that she is not actually enrolled at university.
