Partners - CBS

Speaking of formula TV, Partners is the reincarnated Will & Grace, but not nearly as funny.

Just when you think CBS can do no wrong they come out with another gay comedy with canned laughter... extra heavy on the canned.

I think the plot has something to do with the relationship between two best friends and business partners, one gay, one straight.  One of them is getting engaged and the other has another kind of partner.

The last line of dialogue in the pilot sums it up, "I think we just need to realize that there are 4 people at this table, but 3 couples."  Get it??

Partners has no great characters, no big laughs, and no chance for survival.  CBS can provide it with a big lead-in and lots of promotion, but it will still need a defib by week 3.  Let's hope it dies a quick painless death.
