Partners

The first couple of episodes of Partners feel a little too manic, like the show is trying too hard to recapture the glory of Will & Grace (both shows share the same creators and a relatively similar premise). Comedy series tend to take a little time to find the right tone and have their cast really develop chemistry with each other, however, and Partners is no different. By the mid-point of the season the cast seem to bounce off of each other effortlessly and the show starts to find its feet as a lighter, more good-natured, modern take on Will & Grace with some genuinely enjoyable episodes. Unfortunately, this was after the show had already been cancelled.

That being said, the show is definitely worth a watch if you can find it and want something light and sweet. The best episodes are generally among the unaired ones ("Pretty Funny" is a pretty funny highlight). David Krumholtz and Michael Urie serve as excellent foils for one another, Sophia Bush is utterly adorable and Brandon Routh manages to mine a lot of humour out of being hunky yet totally naive.

I'm giving this a generous 10 first of all because this is by the creators of Will and Grace, to this day my favorite sitcom of all time, and secondly because I would love another 8 seasons of witty one-liners, characters that grow on you until they've taken such a place in your life (yes, even when you have one) it actually hurts to say goodbye. This starts out as good as Will and Grace did, Jim Burrows came back to the party, now let's hope Wyatt is Jack's distant cousin and Jack and auntie Karen will drop by sometimes. Anyways, Will and Grace references put aside, I think the premise is fairly original, even a great train for the world to get on board with, and a great example for straight boys who may find a friend in a fagela instead of a threat to their "masculinity". Now morality put aside: bring the laughter, giggles and fun.

Contrary to what the first few reviews say, I find this show to be hilarious!! The chemistry between the characters are excellent and the jokes are witty and funny. I was hooked on this show just by watching the promo.

I loved watching Will & Grace and I hope this show doesn't get cancelled because it's one of my favourite new shows for this year. David Krumholtz and Sophia Bush have great chemistry together as well as Michael Urie and Brandon Routh. Michael Urie adds a lot of humor to this show with his acting. He was really good on Ugly Betty so fingers crossed this show gets to stay on air

I am so happy to see Michael Uri back on the scree. He is is just right for this role and so is th rest of the crew.

I love the straight-gay-friendship theme. All the characters are fitting right in, even the secretary, who only appears in a few scenes, is cracking me up every time.

I think all homophobic people should watch this show, just to understand that gay people don't automatically jump or flirt with any man. Did you ever want a best female friend, because they might help you with your women issues and have a better and more sensitive understanding for certain things, but your girlfriend wouldn't allow it? Just pick a gay guy :-) And this show proves it. Gay guys and straight guys CAN be friends.

Partners is one of the best shows I've seen in ages. I've heard recently that it's cancelled. And my first thought was WTH?!? It's hilarious! Joe and Louis are the best new characters my family and I have seen yet, Wyatt is a great secondary character, the only blot on the show is maybe Ali. She gets a little annoying at times. I can see the writers try to make her funny, but she just can't pull it off. I really hope it's not actually cancelled, and if it is, that another network picks it up. The fact that shows like Two Broke Girls continues on while great shows like Partners get cancelled is too hideous to comprehend.
