Suits, Franklin and Bash tie for Best Legal/Political Show in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

SuitsSuits and Franklin & Bash tie in the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best Legal/Political Show,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. As Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter on Suits, told us about his character earlier this year: “He takes such risks and I think people just love that. And there’s just a sense that women love him and men want to be him, that’s what I’m getting.” And that’s what we got, too, when readers voted for Suits for their favorite legal/political show. But Harvey Specter wasn’t the only winner in this category, as TNT’s Franklin & Bash (Breckin Meyer and Mark-Paul Gosselaar), who have a chemistry all of their own, get equal props as unconventional lawyers and longtime friends.
