Popped in a screener last night of the TNT Series "Trust Me" wanting to like it because it stars former "Will & Grace" lead Eric McCormack and my longtime crush Tom Cavanagh of "Ed" fame.

Well, I really did like it!

As two best friends working as creative partners at a top-ranked Chicago ad agency, this is the best bromance to hit cable TV since the guys on "Nip/Tuck" and certainly hotter than the one between William Shatner and James Spader on "Boston Legal."

Mason (McCormack) an art director, is a responsible, workaholic family man while his writing partner, Conner (Cavanagh), is a single, impulsive copywriter with the attention span of a teenager. Their relationship is put to the test in the pilot when Mason is named a creative director of the agency and becomes Conner's boss.

Joining McCormack and Cavanagh in the cast are are Monica Potter ( Boston Legal ), Griffin Dunne ( Law & Order: Criminal Intent ), Sarah Clarke ( 24 ), Mike Damus ( Lost in Yonkers ) and Geoffrey Arend ( Garden State ).

While the characters are just being introduced in the pilot, we can see that Cavanagh is the funny and quirky one while McCormack has some of the uptightness of his Will Truman character. They play off each other well. I love the character of Sarah Krajicek-Hunter (Potter), an award-winning copywriter who tends to rub people the wrong way but have no use for Hector (Arend) and Tom (Damus), a junior creative team with untraditional ideas. I hope they come off better in future episodes because in the pilot, they seemed like a pair of idiots.

"Trust Me" will premiere on TNT on Monday, Jan. 26. at 10 p.m. following an all-new episode of "The Closer."

I agree - I think this show is gonna be a big hit.
And if you like this, check out a soon-to-be-released novel called "Soul for Sale"
Read an early copy.
Best thing I've ever read about life in the ad biz - and life itself, for that matter.
So dead on.
Crazy good.
Look for it!
