CGiii Comment
From the creators of Will & Grace...with the same director - Burrows, the man that made the most offensive 'gay' film...ever.
The timing is not good...released at the same time as The New Normal - does America need 2 gay sitcoms running concurrently? Frankly, no.
Same kind of formula as W&G minus the snappy sidekicks...Karen & Jack have been replaced by impotent inferiors...and, the two leading characters have as much chemical bonding as osmosis.
On the strength of the first few outings...it's unlikely that this will have a 187 episode run.
*UPDATE* - cancelled, after 6 episodes, with immediate effect...failing to complete its initial 13-episode run.
Well, that's what happens when you try to resurrect the dead...Partners (1995), also by Burrows, was short-lived...nothing can replace originality...cheap, shoddy TV.

Partners is a comedy that is about a life long bromance between Joe and Louis, two architects who have been friends nearly their entire lives. They are now are business partners, owning their own small architecture firm. Joe is very rational and level headed, following his head over his heart, sometimes a detriment to his relationships. Joe is newly engaged to Ali, a beautiful jewelry designer who brings out the best in him. Louis, in contrast to Joe, is passionate, outspoken and tends to exaggerate in order to make his point. Louis' partner's name is Wyatt, and is a vegan male nurse who is soft spoken and overly understanding. As they live their lives they must find a way to adapt, redefining the bond between them both personally and professionally now that there is an addition of two other important relationships.
