Pilot episode 101 Aspiring actor Frankie Zito responds to an ad for a roommate placed by writer Warren Fairbanks, thinking that GWM stands for guy with money. In my opinion, this series did not get a fair chance. Great performances from a very talented cast and exceptional writing from clever screenwriters.

Alec Mapa played Vern, Warren's flamboyant best friend, who lived upstairs from Warren and usually entered Warren's apartment by coming down the fire escape and through a window. Michael DeLuise portrayed Pino, Frankie's dimwitted best friend. Jessica Lundy appeared as Meryl, Warren's sister and th...
