Status: Partially Found
Guys Like Us was an American sitcom that aired on United Paramount Network (UPN) from October 1998 until January 1999. The show is most famous for being the first television project of Dan Schneider, and certain plot elements can be seen in some of his other works such as iCarly and What I Like About You. Guys Like Us ran for twelve episodes before being canceled due to low ratings, with a thirteenth episode never airing.
Plot
In Guys Like Us two roommates living in Chicago, Sean Barker (Chris Hardwick) and Jared Harris (Bumper Robinson), find themselves taking in Jared's younger brother Maestro (Maestro Harris) as Jared's father takes an overseas freelancing job. This forces the two roommates to end their nights of partying and take care of and guide Maestro as they make ends meet and develop parenting skills.[1]
