1980's actor Peter Scolari 'Bosom Buddies' & 'Newhart' dies from cancer

Peter Scolari is best remembered for "Bosom Buddies" (1980-82) with Tom Hanks. It ran for only two TV seasons (ABC), but would live on for decades in TV syndication. Both actors eventually left that series behind... Peter moved onto the TV comedy, "Newhart" (1984-1990). Tom went onto 1980's movie stardom with "Splash", "Big" and "Dragnet."

"Bosom Buddies" would never be made in 2021 because of "political correctness." The 1980 TV show was about two single heterosexual men who dress in female "drag" to rent a New York apartment. RIP Mr. Scolari....
