Guys Like Us was an American sitcom that aired on United Paramount Network (UPN) from October 5th, 1998, until January 18th, 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 cancelled 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]
Availability
Due to the show airing on a later time slot on UPN, it received low ratings and was cancelled early. For a while, the only piece of media that emerged was the show's intro. On May 2nd, 2020, YouTube user Panama Mike uploaded the first episode of the series (although part of the beginning is missing.) In October 2021, the streaming service Crackle announced in their lineup that they would be streaming all thirteen episodes of the show.
Cast
- Chris Hardwick as Sean Barker
- Bumper Robinson as Jared Harris
- Maestro Harrell as Maestro Harris
- Courtney Mun as Nikki
- Linda Cardellini as Jude

Post Cancellation Fame
Despite Guys Like Us receiving very low ratings, loyal fans point to the fact that the show was never put on prime time and instead was forced into a late-night slot. At the 2006 Young Artists Awards, Maestro Harrel and Courtney Mun were nominated for the Best Performance in a TV Comedy Series – Supporting Young Actor and Actress for their performances on Guys Like Us.
