Some of My Best Friends aired from February until April 2001 on CBS.
Macho young Frankie (Danny Nucci), an aspiring actor, was determined to get out of his parents' home in the Bronx. Sensitive, intellectual Warren ( Jason Bateman) was a homosexual whose boyfriend had just moved out of his Greenwitch Villiage apartment after a fight. Frankie responded to the ad Warren put in the paper seeking a roommate because he thought GWM meant "Guy With Money," not "Gay White Male." It wasn't until after Frankie moved in that they both realized what a mistake they had made but, by that time , they were actually starting to like each other, and decided to give it a try. Warren's twice-divorced sister, Meryl ( Jessica Lundy), managed the building, Pino ( Michael DeLuise) was Frankie's beefy intellectualy challenged buddy, and outlandished Vern ( Alec Mapa) was Warren's overtly gay Japanese best friend. Connie and Joe ( Camille Saviola, Joe Grifasi) were Frankie's parents.
There were loads of gay jokes ("This whole fridge is filled with fairy food!"), but not much of an audience. Low ratings prompted CBS to pull the plug after five of the seven episodes had aired. Adapted from the 1997 film Kiss Me Guido.

At what point can you say that gays have gone mainstream? When Will & Grace hits the top 20? When Ally kisses a girl? When ABC airs a Judy Garland mini-series? For our money, it's when a network airs a gay-straight odd-couple sitcom that's not just bad, but boringly so. Batting for the gays, Jason Bateman is adequate as a poor man's Eric McCormack, but Danny Nucci plays a straight Italian stereotype who's like Joey from Friends' dumber brother. Add predictable storylines (I think my roomie has a crush on me!), and you've got Will & Graceless.
