1. A black guy and a white guy share an apartment in New York. But as the series goes on, we learn that they might actually be living in New Jersey.
2. A Yale English Literature graduate moves into an apartment with his best friend, a Physics Major. Little does he know that not only is his roommate an evil scientist, but that he is the subject of his roommates experiments!
3. A former Egyptian prince wakes up in his pyramid. He has been dead for 2000 years. He has only one thing on his mind: poon tang. The prince moves to Manhattan, only to find that, though he was rich in his day, exchange rates and inflation have left his fortune practically obsolete. He must get a job as a dish washer, where he meets his roommate, an ex drug addict starting fresh. It's about...dealing with...ummm....accepting the present? Forgetting the past? Moving on? Something like that.
4.. A black guy moves into an apartment in a prestigious and predominately white neighborhood with his girlfriend, the white daughter of the CEO of a major corporation. Racism ensues.

7. A husband and wife living in Seattle move in together, only to realize they are brother and sister. Incest ensues.
8. A man lives with a goat in Boston. One day, the goat starts speaking english; the next, speaks of the approaching Apocalypse. At first the man is convinced he is crazy. But when little things the goat says start coming true...the Apocalypse may not be so whack after all. If there is any hope left in this world...it's a goat.
9. An old man learns he will die in four years. He decides to go to college. He lives with a hip black guy. A reserved Asian guy lives next door.
