Okay, so they don't really blow up Lake Highlands, but it was one heck of an explosion.

The cast and crew of The Good Guys, Fox Network's popular cop comedy, now have eight episodes under their collective belt.

If you tune in tonight for the ninth episode, you’ll have a much safer view of what many Lake Highlands residents witnessed up close and personal back on May 21st.

Here's a hint: it involved a lot of pyrotechnics and one heck of an amazing show.

It all began when the Halwas family, along with a couple other unsuspecting LH families, found a flyer on their font doors informing them that The Good Guys crew was scouting locations in their neck of the woods.

According to Tim Halwas, they were the only family who responded to the inquiry.

"They put flyers on at least two other houses in our neighborhood," says Tim, "but we were the only family who contacted the scouting group."

Coincidentally, Tim already had a connection to the show.

Turns out he went to high school with one of the crew members, Bob Trevino, so he reached out to Bob via Facebook to confirm what the scouting group had told him.

"The plan was to blow up a moving van in front of our house."

Word spread through the neighborhood and a few days later, cast and crew descended upon Fenchurch Road in Lake Ridge Estates for a full day of filming at the Halwas home.

"My favorite part was seeing our kids, Max and Jillian, carry the jackets for the actors," says Tim.

"I was really pleased at how nice the actors were to them. In fact, the whole crew was really nice to my family and all our neighbors."

While hanging out on the set all day was fun, getting paid for it was certainly a nice bonus.

"Yes, we were paid for this great experience, and the crew even made sure everything was put back in order when it was all said and done," he says.

So, based on their experience, we wanted to know if the Halwas family would be up for another round?

“Sure, we'd do it again," says Tim. "The only thing I might do differently would be to take them up on their offer to put us up in a hotel."

And be sure to tune in tonight at 8:00 p.m. on Fox Channel 4 to see all the action for yourself!
