Will & Grace Creators Base New Sitcom on Selves

And they say Hollywood has run out of ideas. Best friends and Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick (who's gay) and David Kohan (who's straight) have sold CBS on their new sitcom idea.

The premise? It's about two sitcom creators, one gay and one straight, who are best friends. Oh, and for that all-important under-35 viewership, the show will also revolve around the duo's "hot young assistants."

So, to recap, that's four characters, anchored by a gay person and a straight person - just like Will & Grace.

One can't really blame Kohan and Mutchnick for returning to their own well: W&G lasted eight years, while their subsequent creations - Good Morning, Miami, Twins, and Four Kings - were all significantly less successful.

The duo will write and executive produce the new show. Then they'll pray that we watch it.
