Describe a TV show without giving away the title of it, and see if anyone can ID it. Show can't be newer than 10 years old. If you want to be sneaky, you can describe it in an unusual way, just as long as it's still factual. Example: "A liberated woman tries to gain harmony when she marries a stuffy conservative." The answer, in this case, is "Bewitched." (Yeah, it describes a few, but that's what I picked.) You don't have to guess on one already given, just post one of your own. The only rule is that the show had to be shown in the United States in its history.
First one: Two men share an apartment to try and get back on their feet, but domestic tensions arise when both men try to one-up the other.
(It should be easy :))

to think of a sentence, that isn't too vague, yet doesn't give it away either.

Oh, wait. You said "wacky" not "boring as hell". I change my guess to "Battlestar Gallactica".

14. I think you're describing "Two and a Half Men" |

Also, "Perfect Strangers". Possibly "Full House" as well.

It was the Odd Couple. Couldn't be Two and a Half Men, because it's not at least 10 years old. :)
But yes, Perfect Strangers could have been described similarly.

I don't remember a lot of it anymore, but it was Kene Holiday as the sheriff or deputy, and the two women officers ran the office.

Occasionally they swap apartments or have sex with each other, too. Then they drink more coffee with their FRIENDS. Any guesses?

traveling around the country, there was one guy. Instead of riding on four wheels, he rode on two, and the show was only half as good. Instead of calling the show "Route 33", the called it ??

62. This show features a Police Call Box. |

This show was often originally shown on PBS stations in the 70's and 80's, maybe late 90's. Has been revived and now shows on Sci-Fi channel, though my local PBS station has been picking up some of the new revived series.

We talked about Carter Country upthread, so that would be my first guess. My second guess, which is too new, is Reno 911, which I don't watch, so I don't know how accurate that guess would be.
