Subject: What was the name of this 80's show?

Written By: Izod on 03/24/04 at 11:01 p.m.

I think I remember seeing this in '86. It had a college kid that shared his dorm with an older guy, & I remember the kid had aquariums everywhere in the dorm.  ???

Was it "One of the Boys" with (then unknowns) Dana Carvey & Nathan Lane with Mickey Rooney?  From 1982.

It was about a college age person who shared his dorm with his grandfather & room mate.

Nope. After alot of Google searchin' & Amazon research I came up with - the name of the show was "Roomies", & the older guy's real name was Burt Young (who was also in movies: Back To School, & all of the Rocky movies). According to the link below it only aired for 4 months. lol

I remember watching that. My best friend used to make me watch it because she had the BIGGEST crush on Corey Haim.  :)
