Keen Eddie is an action/comedy-drama television series, first aired 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to the popular 1980s British series Dempsey & Makepeace, the only notable difference being that the female partner has been replaced by a female housemate.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 soundtrack and incidental music for at least the first episode was provided by British techno duo Orbital.
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.
