I think only two episodes ran before they cancelled it. Too bad, I thought Jason Bateman was great as uptight gay man Warren and Danny Nucci was very hot (and funny) and 'Guido'-boy Frankie (I mean he was shirtless in the first episode!!!). Shame it didn't run longer.

This is Dorsia?

it still comes on on logo. i set my dvr to record it, but it hasn't come on in a while. it's actually a really funny show.

Thanks for the info! I'll have to look for that. Like I said, I think only two episodes aired, but maybe they have more that never aired.

LOGO's tv schedule is a pain in the rear to use when you are trying to find a program that isn't on a regular schedule. I did find some episodes coming up soon. I believe there were 6 or 7 made in total, though all did not air.

Check back on LOGO in a week and they may have the Monday, Sept 4 schedule out.

I've seen 7 episodes and I thought they were very good and funny without being silly or stupid, which cannot be said about most of the cr@p on TV. Pity it was cancelled, I could watch a few more episodes.

Logo aired the first two (only two?) episodes today. Perhaps they will again and you can catch it. It actually is better than the film (I wasn't crazy about the movie). It's unfair to compare a sitcom to a film but if Jason and the rest of the cast were in the film it may have been better overall.

Hope you get to see it. This show was undeservedly cut short!

There were 7 shows produced, only 5 were ever shown during the very short run but all 7 have been shown on LOGO.

Technically, there's an 8th episode. Most of the pilot was re-shot; the exterior scenes are the same, but the scenes that took place in the apartment were filmed again. In the original version of the pilot, Josette DiCarlo played Frankie's mother (Camille Saviola played her in the version that aired). The rest of the cast, including Peter Spears as Warren's ex, are unchanged... but Meryl (Jessica Lundy) was merely the landlady, not Warren's sister. The dialog differs in a few places (Vern had a few great lines that weren't in the other version), but the performances and blocking are pretty much the same. Tapes of pilots usually get leaked on eBay when they're new, so it's probably floating around somewhere...
