November 27, 1980 –
The sitcom Bosom Buddies, staring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari premiered on ABC-TV on this date.
The producers pitched the series to ABC as a relatively straightforward buddy comedy in the spirit of Billy Wilder’s comedy films. When they used the film Some Like It Hot as an example, the network agreed to the series, but only if the main characters were disguised as women. Although the producers had to change the series quickly, they were able to produce it with little network creative interference.
