## Synopsis

Two Guys and a Girl (1998-2001) is a US network sitcom created by Danny Jacobson for ABC. Aimless wise-guy Berg (Ryan Reynolds) and neurotic Pete (Richard Ruccolo) are roommates at a Boston university, and their best friend Sharon (Traylor Howard) struggles with her work and relationships. The three hang out and work around Beacon Street Pizza, the shop that serves as their recurring workplace and gathering spot. Each episode is a self-contained run of everyday mishaps, dating misadventures and small crises of early adulthood, told in the brisk, breezy register of a classic multi-camera sitcom. The mood is warm and playful, with an undercurrent of affection between friends who are still figuring out who they are. Across four seasons and 81 episodes, the show keeps its focus on the group's loyalty and shifting romantic tension rather than any larger arc. Fans of Friends, Cheers and Dharma and Greg will find the same comfortable ensemble humor and friendship-centered charm here, a lighthearted late-1990s snapshot of young adult life in Boston.
