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to the popular 1980s British series Dempsey & Makepeace, the only notable difference being that the female partner has been replaced by a female housemate.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.

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 Chile and Argentina, Fox aired the series on Mondays at 21 hrs. during 2003.

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.

In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the series is shown on Sky Digital.

In France, the whole series has been aired on the cable Channel Comédie!.

In 2008, the series will air on Sleuth.

ddie to Fiona] die: Ya know what I like best about Nigel? His personality.

die: You know what I like about you? ona: What? die: Nothing.

die: By the way, Milli called. She said you're okay for tonight. [to Mitchell] Sounds pretty serious, doesn't it? ona: Mitchell, ignore what you're hearing. Milli's a *friend* from work. die: You know, you should bring her by a little more often - we kinda had a "vibe" going, me and her. ona: She thinks you're crass. die: Ah, then again she is gay - I mean, it's biological. What can you do about it? And you guys make such a great couple, i wouldn't want to break that up. Oh, my God, look at the time.

die: Let me give you a translation from the Eddie dictionary. When someone says to me "play ball," that means "we're a bunch of weasels. Come join us in our weaselness. Be a weasel too. Nobody's looking." I've been called a lot of things but a play ball kinda guy is not one of them.

die: Why can't you just say "good morning?" ona: Why can't you just say "I've found my own flat." Five simple words to brighten up a rainy day. It's not hard. I've. Found. My. Own. Flat. die: Really? When are you moving out?

ppin: You have to be careful though, mate. I can't handle these intense inter-personal things like that, you know? I'm English. I need to try and keep it down, keep it locked, inside, like we do. I mean, how else are you going to develop cancer?

die: [to Fiona] Why don't you do something really funny? You know, like push a handicapped kid down the stairs in his wheelchair?

ona: Get out. die: Out of the kitchen? ona: Out of the kitchen, out of the flat, out of London, out of the world. It's full. Get out. die: I can't get out of the world. I didn't pull the kind of math grades you need to qualify for the space program.

ona: Well we're in trouble then aren't we? die: We certainly are, especially if you think that top goes with those pants.

die: Good morning. ona: Oh, is it? Has your visa expired?

rol Ross: Excuse me, sir, but the gentleman out here... die: ...who is of no importance whatsoever, Miss Hornypenny... uh... Moneypenny.
