I was at my friends house and they were watching ABC, CBS, or NBC and it was this show where this straight guy was moving in w/ this gay guy to roommate and um... all that stuff. It was so funny. I didn't think mainstream TV could be that funny anymore. What show was it? I must know.

Spin City ?

Will & Grace - NBC. it was on tonight.

They are both wrong. I saw the first episode of that show, kinda sucked, IMHO.

something on NBC called something like Some of My best friends... or smoething to that effect is supposed to have this type of premise.

Will & Grace maybe?

Moving to TV TALK.

(Some of my Best Friends Wednesday nights. Jason Bateman and Danny Nucci)

I dont consistently watch the show but I'm pretty sure the guys on will and grace aren't roommates. I know will and grace were roommates but i dont think they are anymore either.

Will and Grace are roommates again. Jack was staying with Will, but he traded places with Grace; she moved back in with Will, and Jack moved into Grace's apartment, across the hall.

As Venusian and Guyot already pointed out, the show Shaggy was asking about is Some Of My Best Friends, on Wednesday nights on CBS. It's a great show; Alec Mapa, the guy who plays Vern, the best friend of Jason Bateman's character, is hilarious.

I believe it's called "Crap that I will Never Watch"

We don't give a crap what you watch.

Unresolved personal issues or homophobia?

...and it's based on the film KISS ME GUIDO.

Nash Bridges?

Hannity and Colmes?

I can't speak for dvdnaut, but the reason I'll never watch Some of My Best Friends again is because the show did nothing but promote antiquated gay and Italian stereotypes. One gay guy is flaming gay, and the other one is the nice, perfect, quick-witted Mr. Sensitive who does little besides helping everyone else find a lover... two characters we've seen only about 1000 times before in film and TV. And of course, the Italian guy is just the dumb jock who's always thinking about sex. You'd think the writers could strive for at least a little originality and break these stereotypes, but no. I guess it's just easier to use cookie-cutter characters.

Not to mention that I didn't laugh once during an entire episode... not even a half smile.

I agree that this show is amazingly lame, and outdated to boot. Best thing about the movie was the title, and they didn't have the nerve to leave that in place...

The lead actors are pleasant enough and likeable, but the supporting "best friends" are awful on both sides. And the writing?

Both episodes I've seen were so predictable--both in the jokes and the overall plot--that they could have been written by computer. I love how they "denote" the gay decor by having a Yentl poster in the living room. And this is supposed to be the "sophisticated" guy? Come on.

Will and Grace, which I don't even like, is genius compared to this lemon.

CHiPs. One guy is named Ponch.

Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid?

That's great, just cuz he doesnt like a show that happens to contain gay people, he is automatically marked homophobic...talk about closed minded.

It was short-lived on CBS and called "Some Of My Best Friends Are" and I've love a DVD release even though there was not many episode aired.

I've never heard of this show. Weird since I'm a big Jason Bateman fan.

Potsy and Ralph move to San Francisco

Only took 13 years to get an answer.

Oh wait...

I was wondering why I didn't recognize most of the monikers.
