"Will and Grace" creators' 2nd chance?

"Will and Grace" fans rejoice! The creative team behind the show, David Kohan, who is straight, and Max Mutchnick, who is gay, have signed a deal with ABC to create a new gay friendly comedy.

The show will focus on the relationship of two men -- one straight, one gay -- who are both business partners and best friends. And unlike the sexually neutered Will Truman, the gay lead will be involved in a serious romantic relationship. The show will reflect the real life relationship of Kohan and Mutchnick who have been friends since highschool.

The untitled show was sold to ABC when the writers' strike ended. If the pilot is successful, it could be part of the fall season or could be released as a mid-season replacement.

Maybe Karen Walker could make a cameo?
