Meet Your New ROOMMATES on ABC Family Tonight

Just in case you needed another show to tune into on Monday nights, tonight is the series premiere of ROOMMATES at 9pm on ABC Family.

I haven’t seen the show yet but I thought I’d share with you the info I have and a few videos from tonight’s episode and you can decide if it’s something you might want to check out.

Here’s the deal. I’m almost afraid to not watch ROOMMATES.  I missed the boat on ABC Family’s GREEK when it first aired and having caught up on all the episodes earlier this month I love it!  What if I don’t watch Roommates and it turns about to be great?!  Then again, even if I do watch it it’s going to have to be online as my Mondays are jammed packed already.  And with ZBZ’s, Kappa Tau’s, Omegi Chi’s and the rest of GREEK coming back next Monday, I can’t say that I have any time for any newbies. So for me to get on board ROOMMATES is going to have to really grab me in the first episode.

If you watch tonight check back in with me tomorrow and let me know what you thought.

Here’s what I know…

“Roommates” follows a group of friends in New York City trying to figure out love and life in their post-collegiate years. Loveable but awkward Mark (Francavilla) stumbles upon his dream come true when he runs into his old high-school crush, Katie (Brown), and becomes her new roommate in an attempt to finally win her heart. Unfortunately for Mark, Katie is still in love with her on-again/off-again boyfriend. Further complicating matters, Mark doesn’t hit it off with Katie’s best friend and roommate, Hope (Mowry), a strong willed executive who Mark learns, unbeknownst to her fellow roommates, has lost her job and now secretly works at a coffee shop. The fourth and final apartment mate is James (Dewey), who works in the investment world and takes great pleasure in watching Mark’s feeble attempts to win Katie’s favor. Rounding out the group is Mark’s former roommate and best friend, Thom (Weidoff), a quirky guy who takes an instant liking to Hope.

As they look for love, inside the apartment and out, struggle with their current and future job options, and deal with overbearing parents who can’t seem to let go, the roommates lean on each other to make it through this tough but exciting time of life. Now, if they could just figure out a bathroom schedule that would work for everyone!
