Take an Ugly Betty star, a One Tree Hill alum, Superman and the creative team behind Will & Grace and mix them all together. What do you get? CBS' new comedy Partners!

Michael Urie, David Krumholtz, Sophia Bush and Brandon Routh star in the new sitcom from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, which finally premiered tonight.

Now that you've seen the show (and hopefully laughed throughout!), we're curious to know if you are going to continue partnering up with Partners...

The series centers on Louis (Urie) and Joe (Krumholtz), who have been friends since childhood, and now are partners at an architectural firm. It's always been the two of them, but now Louis is dating Wyatt (Routh), and Joe is in love with Ali (Bush), and their close friendship sometimes causes issues. Like Louis accidentally spilling the beans to Ali that Joe was contemplating breaking up with her. Oops!

While the show isn't reinventing the wheel and some of the jokes are a little old-fashioned, it's kind of what we like about it: It's reliable. It reminds us of the "old days" of Friends and, of course, Will & Grace

The talented cast has chemistry to spare, with Krumholtz recently telling us of his and Urie's connection, "In truth, I mean, we have one sort of comedic voice. You know, there's a lot of times where I may say 'Hey, say it this way, it's funnier.' He may say, 'Hey, I have this great idea for you.' I think other actors might cringe at that or be precious about it. And we realize that this is a team. We both are very loving. We have a very similar soul. You know our souls are almost interchangeable, I feel. And I just want to make out with him." Aw!
