Partners is a comedy based on the lives of creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, about two life-long best friends and business partners whose "bromance" is tested when one of them is engaged to be married. Joe is an accomplished architect who leads with his head and not his heart, especially in his love life.

That's in stark contrast to his gay co-worker, Louis, who is spontaneous, emotional and prone to exaggeration. Both have found joy in their love lives: Joe is newly engaged to Ali, a beautiful and sophisticated jewelry designer, and Louis' companion is Wyatt, a vegan nurse who Louis insists is just a promotion away from becoming a doctor. As news of Joe's engagement settles, time will tell if their business and personal bond can adapt to the addition of two other important relationships.

When Jim Burrows directs your pilot, good things usually happen. I was genuinely surprised that I laughed at this. Coming from the creators of Will and Grace, that's what I hoped for. Granted, Will is straight here and Grace is a gay man, but the clips I saw were actually funny. Casting Brandon Routh as a gay nurse is pretty interesting as well. Combine that with a fabulous (ha!) slot and this is yet another CBS sitcom winner.
