I think the word you're looking for is "short"! I think it looks fine, as I've said it's actually much more accurate as far as a modern police officer's haircut. TONS of male Detectives/Officers have very similar haircuts. I do see Winky's opinion about wondering if it's right for Lassiter. It seems to me they were kind of almost going for the "retro" 70's - 80's "stiff-suit" detective hair style for his character for a while in the beginning. (Maybe the sideburns made me think that?) Maybe they're getting more "modern". I do like James Roday's slightly shorter hair, too.
I think I'll like it, but it was a surprise to see! he is still chock full of Tim Omundson goodness...
Well it is certainly short; there can be no disagreement there!
As far as his haircut being "accurate": Hairstyle inaccuracies are so far down the list of things that are occasionally inconsistent it's not even funny, lol! There are Canadian flags on the streets of Santa Barbara and coats being worn in the background of summer shots, among other things, so I don't think the haircuts matter at all.

I think I'm really with Winky about the cut. It seems fine on Tim, but I just don't know that it's "Lassie" to me. I'll get used to it after the season starts, but as of right now it just doesn't feel right!
Like you said, though: he will always be full of Tim O. goodness. So everything will be okay, regardless of his hair!
