American Roommate Com Short-Runner that ran for half a season on CBS in the spring of 2001.
Freddie (Danny Nucci) is an aspiring actor who is trying to live on his own away from his traditional Italian parents. Warren (Jason Bateman) is a gay guy who has just gotten dumped by his live-in roommate. The two become roommates and deal with the shenanigans of living together.
Rounding out the cast are Freddie's parents, Freddie's friend Pimo, Warren's friend Vern and Meryl, Warren's sister and the building's super.
The show was adapted from the 1997 film Kiss Me, Guido. Unfortunately, it was a Short-Runner, only running for one season and airing five out of seven episodes.
Provides examples of:
- Allegedly Dateless: Vern, who had sex with 9 people, 8 if you don't count a lifeguard.
- Animals Hate Him: While Pimo is deathly allergic to dogs, Vern has the unfortunate knack of having even the smallest dog possible viciously attack him, no matter how friendly.
- Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?: Freddie feels the need to stress this with Warren.
- Mistaken for Gay: Freddie on a couple occasions, once by her parents, and one time by Vern.
- Sassy Black Woman: Champagne, the lounge singer who performed at Joseph and Connie's engagement, and 25 years later, at their anniversary party.
- Token Minority: Vern, being the only Asian in the cast.
