	Some of My Best Friends: Pilot - Part 2/2 This CBS show about gay/straight roommates who share a Greenwich loft ran for only 7 episodes in 2001. And most people couldn't even find the show after episode 3 because CBS kept shifting it. The real deathblow was the constant comparisons to NBC's Will & Grace, which already ha established audience. Needless to say, America was not ready for 2 gay sitcoms. The show was based on the movie, Kiss Me Guido. The story begins with a straight Italian actor answering a roommate-wanted ad, thinking "GWM" meant "guy with money." (for those who don't know, it means Gay White Male) And the rest is somewhat predictable but still funny (if stereotypes don't offend you). In my opinion, this was a better comedy than W&G. Both shows relied heavily on stereotypes but SoMBF was less over-the-top, thus more realistic. There was no Jack or Karen to distract from believability. Alec Mapa comes close but I actually know people like him. Incidentally, he plays the first gay Asian character on US TV. The headwriter was Marc Cherry, who also created The Golden Girls and Desperate Housewives. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259144/ ========== Notes on the video: Sorry for the high pitched voices. No, it's not Jason Batemaan trying to sound gay. LOL I sped up much of the video by 10% so that I can divide the 22 min episode into 2 ten minute segments instead of 3. The dialogue should still be intelligible. View Video

For those who aren't a gay stereotype or Judy Garland fan (I'm neither), the correct answer is "trolley." It's from "The Trolley Song" in 1944's Meet Me in St Louis, and was nominated for an Oscar. It has a catchy melody and nice lyrics so give it a listen. Anyone who has experienced love-at-first sight on a subway or bus should be able to relate. The show's headwriter was Marc Cherry, who also created The Golden Girls and Desperate Housewives. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259144/ ========== Notes on the video: Sorry for the high pitched voices.
