Partners

I disagree with the first review. As someone who found Will and Grace rather too full of innuendo, and cringingly overt references and puns tucked into every single phrase uttered, I quite like this new offering from KoMut. Here it seems much easier and so much less forced - two regular guys, one silly and one more responsible, who just happen to fancy opposite sexes. Its easy, its fun, its not trying too hard.

Also, I guess I love both characters from watching Ugly Betty and nUMBERS so maybe I am biased.

I do however hope there's more character development and that they get out of that office!.

I don't like any of the supporting characters - the boyfriend and both girls are tedious to watch - no chemistry - and the opening music and clapping in-between scenes - GRATES!

All in all, its a mildly amusing lighthearted show and exactly what I'd love to snuggle on the sofa to watch after a hard day.

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.

I don't often watch new shows; I wait until they've been on a season or two, have heard about it from all my friends, and feel compelled to catch up with the hype. I saw the previews for this and thought it looked delightful, so I figured, "why not?"

I was very disappointed with the actual product.

All of the actors are WAY too over the top; the pace of the dialogue was obviously intended to be snappy and witty, but it just seems rushed and forced; all of the characters are horribly stereotypical, but not in a cutesy fun way: it's almost insulting. The most grating thing about this? The horrific rhythmic clapping they play for scene transitions.

I'll stick around for two more episodes (shows very often change after the pilot). Hopefully they'll fix the issues, but I doubt it.

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.

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.
