While it may be getting a little less press than that other "gay comedy" debuting this fall (that Ryan Murphy certainly knows how to court controversy!), we're no less excited about Max Mutchnick and David Kohan's new show, Partners, which kicks off tonight on CBS!

Mutchnick and Kohan, the creators of Will & Grace, are bringing us a show that's loosely based on their own relationship as gay and straight business partners. 

That we also get a gay couple comprised of Michael Urie and Brandon Routh is purely a bonus! Urie spoke to Zap2it about the show and we've got highlights after the jump!

CBS has picked up the gay (or at least half-gay) sitcom Partners starring our beloved Michael Urie (and yummy Brandon Routh as his boyfriend)!

We were already excited about the show, but the latest clip has us asking, is it September yet?!

Check out a behind-the-scenes clip after the jump!

Despite the monthly monkey gland treatments we suffer through to create the illusion, it is not, in fact, 1998. You're just reading a lot about Will & Grace this week thanks to Vice President Joe Biden's shout out during Meet the Press. During the interview, Biden referred to the show as being responsible for changing America's attitude towards the LGBT community. Now, after the plug, every single bitch from Will & Grace is coming out of the woodwork to take a bow, including controversial creator Max Mutchnick, who has used the platform to call out President Obama.

So, what did Mutchnick—who will sign his campaign checks to Joe Biden from now on—say that has left some of Obama's LGBT supporters up in arms?
