5 of the worst attempts at queer(ish) sitcoms ever
TV spinoff goes bad. Sometimes it’s just impossible to recreate the magic of a hit. Others, somebody with a really bad idea just got really lucky.
Speaking of bad ideas, some shows just never worked from the start. Post-Ellen, Queer as Folk, and Will & Grace, networks finally decided to tiptoe into the LGBTQ market, producing a number of memorable shows… and a few that landed here on Queerty‘s list of the five worst attempts at queer(ish) TV shows ever…Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan tried to recreate their success on that show with this short-lived dud starring Michael Urie and a post-Superman Brandon Routh.
The premise surrounded longtime friends Joe (David Krumholtz) and Louis (Urie), one gay, one straight, who open an architecture firm together.
Their partnership gets tested when Joe partners (ho, ho) off with girlfriend Ali (Sophia Bush) and Louis meets the handsome Wyatt (Routh).Upon the show’s debut, critics noted that much of the creative team had also worked on a series with the same title that aired on Fox almost a decade earlier.
