They were just two guys, trying to make it in the advertising biz in New York City, looking for an affordable place to live, and willing to wear dresses, pantyhose, and full makeup to lock that bachelor pad down. Of course, the bachelor pad was inside a hotel for women only, and, of course, we’re talking about the 1980-82 ABC sitcom Bosom Buddies, the Tom Hanks career launcher that debuted 35 years ago this week.
It was a modest hit at the time, and even though the considerable skills of Hanks and co-star Peter Scolari were on full display, anyone who says they predicted from the show just how successful Hanks would be is giving themselves a little bit too much credit in hindsight. But the actors did make for a delightfully talented team, with fine buddy comedy chemistry, and a penchant for improvisation that often made it into the final cuts of the BB episodes. It’s no surprise, then, that the 37-episode series remains a cult favorite, which is why we’re celebrating its anniversary with 20 things you might not know about the shenanigans of the cast, crew, and characters of the Susan B. Anthony Hotel.
