Not another Odd Couple, please!


It's come to my attention that we may soon have another, half hour, gay flavored prime time show on the air. The creators of Will and Grace have been given the red light for a pilot, still untitled, about two roommates, best friends since high school, one gay and one straight, both are writers. The network, ABC, has requested this order.

Which high school? Beverly Hills High School.

Is one friend black and the other white? I don't know but I doubt it.

No, not the Odd Couple, please keep up. The best friends are business partners and at home, however, the friendships are tested when the both of them get involved in serious relationships. No, not with each other but with significant others at the same time.

I really don't see the problem, if the relationships are all that serious, one buddy moves out and the other keeps the apartment or they both move out, and what's the big deal?

I would have loved to see that characters that Damon Waynes and David Alan Grier created on "In Living Color" come to life, but I'm sure that boat has sailed.
