I'm thinking of a show... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I vaguely remember a sitcom that ran briefly in either 1997 or 1998. It might have been on NBC on Thursday, but I'm far from certain on either point.

I can remember few details, but it was another one of those 'youth comedies' starring good-looking twentysomethings. The main set was a comfortable looking house with the entrance on the right and kitchen on the left. It was similar in layout to the All In The Family house, including a stairway in about the same location.

The only episode about which I remember any story details opened in the kitchen with a strange, random scene in which the two main buddies were pretending they were a doctor and scrubnurse operating on...a sandwich. "knife!" "knife." "Mayo!" "Mayo." That kind of thing. I'm almost positive that it was later in this same episode that the first buddy caught the second buddy getting chummy on the couch with the first buddy's little sister in the middle of the night.

It was lame, lame, lame from top to bottom, the caliber of production and performance you'd expect from a Jr High School drama class. Yet for some reason has stuck in my memory all these years and I thought maybe, even with such scant details, somebody could put a name to it.

I think you may be reffering to "Union Square", a sitcom which ran for half a season on NBC beginning in the fall of 1997.
