When their condemned tenement is demolished by a wrecking ball, struggling advertising copywriters Kip (Hanks) and Henry (Peter Scolari) decide to rent an apartment in the same building as their friend Amy (Wendie Jo Sperber). The only trouble is, Amy lives in an all-female residential hotel, forcing Kip and Henry to don drag and masquerade as their "sisters" Buffy and Hildegarde, leading to a quirky series of cross-dressing misadventures that would make Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis proud. This collection presents the charming series' debut season in its entirety. [More]

Starring: Tom Hanks, Peter Scolari, Wendie Jo Sperber, Donna Dixon

I'm more comfortable describing Bosom Buddies as a cult show; a pinch of 80s cheese that generated considerable laughs, coasted on soaring comic energy, and gave us, well, Donna Dixon. Thank you, television program.
