While Kip is on vacation, Henry buys a stolen VCR at a swap meet and gets thrown in jail.
Bosom Buddies followed the adventures of Kip Wilson (Tom Hanks) and Henry Desmond (Peter Scolari), junior ad-men at Livingston Gentry and Mishkin Advertising Agency. Kip was an illustrator, but aspired to be a painter, and Henry, a copywriter and aspiring novelist. When their building is… More demolished, they dress as women to stay with co-worker Amy Cassidy (Wendy Jo Sperber) in her apartment at the Susan B. Anthony Hotel, where men are forbidden anywhere above the lobby. Kip and Henry decide to invent alter egos Buffy and Hildegarde (their fictional sisters) to move into an empty (and cheap) apartment at the hotel – Henry, to write an expose about the experience, and Kip, to get closer to Amy's beautiful roommate, Sonny Lumet (Donna Dixon), nurse, and part-time dancer. Lilly Sinclair (Lucille Benson) was the manager of the hotel, and Isabelle Hammond (singer Telma Hopkins), an actress and model, was a fellow tenant of the hotel. Ruth Dunbar was Kip and Henry's shrewish boss at the ad agency. During the second season, Kip, Henry and Amy left the ad agency to start their own commercial production company. Ruth was still on hand as an investor, and less-than-silent partner. Lilly Sinclair was dropped from the series, and Isabelle became the hotel's new manager. The show originally aired for two seasons on ABC from November, 1980 to June, 1982. But after Tom Hanks began to become popular in such movies as Splash and Bachelor Party , NBC aired 8 episodes, handpicked from both seasons, during the summer of 1984.

This show was great, a very funny and entertaining show. hide show
the writing the acting the stories, and the whole plot of the show are excellent. It was very funny and original, and most of the actors and actresses if not all of them went on to other things after this show, probably in part because of the job they did on this show. This show was almost always funny, and of course how can you not laugh at two guys dressed in drag, just to save money on an apartment. I wish they would show re-runs of this show, I did see that they have the DVD for sale, and I want to buy that. This show was great, an 80's classic
This was a good show while it lasted. hide show
This is it - the show that launched the careers of Tom Hanks, Peter Scolari and Donna Dixon, in my mind, one of the most beautiful women in the world. Inspired somewhat by the movie, "Some Like It Hot," two guys pose as their fictional sisters in order to live in all women's hotel. The boys were a funny comedy duo, and Dixon was their Monroe. However, once the premise and the uniqueness wore off, the series was stuck with trying to live up to its own hype which was impossible. In came the network honchos who altered the series to keep it on the air, but they ended up ruining it so far that even Tom, Peter and Donna couldn't keep it afloat. The boys ended up losing their secret and starting their own business to try and keep the show going, but the show ended on account of what ruins a lot of good series - tampering! A sad end to a great series !
Good actors, lousy show. hide show
Bosom Buddies was a situation comedy about two guys who needed a place to live, so they moved in to an all-girl hotel. The only way they could do this was to disguise themselves as women. And nobody noticed! In other words, typical sitcom crap. However, this show was almost watchable because of Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari. They made a good comedy team. Donna Dixon played a tall, sexy bombshell. She was fun to look at. In real life, Ms. Dixon married Dan Ackroyd. Go figure! Peter Scolari went on to do fine work on Newhart. I wonder what ever happened to Tom Hanks?
