Cleaning Vcr Head

So, with his trusty sidekicks, Bean hangs out at Jasper's Narcotics Enforcement Team HQ, which looks like one of those stores by the side of a country road where you can still rent VCR tapes. An opening shot of Bean hugging his granddaughter and telling her that he has to "go catch bad guys" establishes his personal stake in the culture of Walker County, where meth usage is skyrocketing, apparently to the point that Walter White could write his own ticket there. Bean explains that he "became a deouty to get this junk off the streets and keep everybody straight." 

If Bean thought that the producers wanted to make a show about his criminal law career because they valued his sage insights into those who live in the shadows, he may have been mildly dismayed when he looked at the finished product and saw how much work went into photographing him from odd angles designed to make him look like Mighty Joe Young after chemo. The opening montage includes a clip of him firing his gun somewhere out in a grassy area that can't help but call up memories of the classic YouTube clip popularly known as "Fatty Firing a Beretta". The intended comic highlight of the premiere comes when Bean, in order to complete his certification, has to submit to being tased. We get to see his face in tight close-up as 50,000 volts pass through him. He purses his lips and his eyes widen and almost cross, and then he says "Okay, that hurt" in a funny croak of a voice, though the guys with him (who go into hysterics over this) are quick to point out that most people can't say anything at all in any kind of voice right after the experience. If the contest to see who can best keep his dignity while getting tased on television comes down to Rick Sanchez versus Butterbean, the Bean can add another title to his trophy case.
