the one with joshua malina, or, "actually, it's james"
the dvd commentary thing for "wilson" (writer david foster and actor robert sean leonard) is a lot of fun (and aspergillus fungus balls), just sayin'

Robert Sean Leonard on Hugh Laurie:
“As we know, I’m straight, but yeah, it’s like, homina homina homina.”
There were two people in that bromance dammit.
RSL special strengths:
- Homoerotic
- Cancer
the balcony bromance shows of the 2000s: some notes
(boston legal, 5 seasons, 2004-08 / house md, 8 seasons, 2004-12)
- you will wonder, how do these guys keep their jobs i mean seriously, in many episodes
- there is a balcony where the two male main characters + coworkers hang out + have homoerotic moments
- the younger man is played by an actor who was a very beautiful boy in an iconic 1980s movie; said movie will be referenced by name in an episode
- the older man is played by an actor best known for another iconic role like say maybe a useless foppish British gentleman or a starship captain; this role will outstrip it
- candace bergen appears, delivers killer put-downs
- john larroquette appears, is john larroquette
- moderate drinking
- copious drinking
- many many beautiful women and attractive men will come and go in the cast, sometimes without explanation; the two guys will be there for all of it, come hell or high water
- the guys in question love women, love them love them love them, one of them has been married multiple times, the other is a slut with one dark haunting woman behind him, but they will nevertheless end up together in a life-changing situation when the series finishes
- someone has a sex doll and is overly fond of her
- character gets away with murder
- character gets away with malpractice
- someone says ‘lock and load’ while wielding a weapon in the workplace (water pistols count shut up)
- one of the actors involved pretends there is no homoeroticism whatsoever; has absolutely never played one half of an iconic queer-coded couple ever before nope nope nope
- smoking cigars, phallically
- meredith hope eaton appears + does some groundbreaking stuff on representing characters with dwarfism
- jail time
- character sees psychiatrist played by someone about to become best known for iconic comedy role rather than previous serious roles (sue sylvester, captain holt)
- autistic characters that main characters understand in ways that others don’t, for what are obvious reasons to 2020s viewers
- the Only Sane Woman has a thing for one of the guys and lets them away with more than is reasonable given her position of responsibility
- epic, destructive jealousy and meddling when your best boy friend starts hanging out with someone else
- character says something insanely un-PC and/or downright offensive to someone, then makes life better for same someone using their mad professional skillz
- you will wonder, but seriously are these guys sleeping together because that would make this plot moderately less insane, often
- you will never wonder, do these guys love each other; the show doesn't work if they don't
so on the ep of the good doctor (the other david shore medical show) with robert sean leonard, his character
- has cancer
- gets his leg amputated
- is sentimentally, overly fond of a weird creature no one else gets, which is clinging to him desperately
i feel like there might be some kind of call out to something happening here idk
