Apparently, opposites do attract. Malcolm and Eddie are as different as one can imagine, but they're best friends who manage to be roommates as well as co-workers without killing each other.
- Original title
- Malcolm & Eddie
- Storyline
- Malcolm McGee is a responsible, sensible twentysomething who ends up sharing a Kansas City apartment and a business venture with relentlessly-enthusiastic tow-truck owner Eddie Sherman, a fast talker with outlandish frenetic energy. Eddie's charming schemes always get the two into hot water, but no matter what, these opposites always end up bailing each other out, even if they drive each other crazy. When the guys unexpectedly receive a considerable sum of money, they decide to buy the old Irish pub below their apartment--and the entire building, including Eddie's garage, as an investment. The guys give the place a facelift by turning it into a sports bar and renaming it McGee's. They hang out there with local regulars including Tim, a gentle giant working as a male nurse, and Nicolette, a motor-mouthed police-academy cadet with a love-crazed obsession for Eddie. As Malcolm manages McGee's and Eddie tries to bolster his fledgling one-man/one-truck towing operation into a fleet, success for these two could be as simple as staying out of trouble.
