Tom Hanks Comedy Show

May 23, 2012 | Author admin

What do you remember about the TV series Bosom Buddies?

It launched the career of Peter Scolari, who went on to play the neurotic, avaricious but lovable Michael on the Newhart show. And that other guy, Tim Hanks? Tom Hinks? Wonder whatever became of him? The wonderfully funny Holland Taylor, as well. Was that show any good? I really don’t remember as well as some other comedies.
I guess I should have used that “tongue in cheek” font. Dang.

They were smart enough to leave the premise that two men dressing in drag, out of need for housing, was funny. They saw the talent in the actors & eventually show cased their comedic talents & let the original story line become a minor back plot.
Tom Hanks boy-ish charm had me rooting for him to win Sonny’s affection.
The boss, played by Holland Taylor, was the 1st “cougar” before the coin was phrased.
And Peter’s character was always trying to rebuff the advances of Wendie Jo Sperber, but the show never made it about her being obese. He was to much of a gentleman to even hint that was an issue. Today’s shows go for the easy put down. For a silly show, it kept some class about itself. There was “kindness” in their interactions with each other even when they were at odds.
