The Show that Launched Careers, 6 September 1999
Author: Sean McGahan (swm81086@aol.com) from Illinois, USA

"Busom Buddies", the simpliest premise. Struggling young men who cannot afford a home, take the best one they can get, as women. Someone who watches this show once will first laugh just looking at stars Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, and then will say what a stupid show that it ended up to be. Nowadays, its seems like a simple publicity stunt, great actors doing that. The show was a good try. The writers squezzed every possible situation into the show, no matter how crazy or stupid. As the show grew on and more of the supporting casts charracters found out about the "busom buddies" the show went downhill. Most nowadays just watch it to look at Hanks and Scolari. I guarantee you would not be seeing the reruns if Hanks had not become the star he did, and i'll bet you on that one.
