Subject: 80s TV Show?

Written By: 80s fanatic on 11/27/2000 at 2:52 p.m.

Ok, I am pretty sure I watched this show in the 80s, most likely mid-late 80s. All I can remember about is is it was a high school setting. The thing that stuck out in my mind was a group of 3(I think) guys who were always walking around singing acapella(sp?). I remember one particular scene when they were in restroom stalls singing "the lion sleeps tonight". Does anyone out there have an idea what the name of the show I am referring to is or am I completely nuts? Thanks

I'm not sure..but could it be "Roomies"?
I loved that show, and that's what it makes me think of. If I'm totally nuts, good luck finding the real answer!

I think you might be right. Now that I think about it there were 2 guys living together in a dorm. One was a younger guy who looked a little like Kirk Cameron and one was an old man if I remember correctly. Hmm. Well if there is anyone out there who knows for sure, please post a response.

"Roomies" was a cool show. The young college student was none other than Cory Haim. His really older roommate was Burt Young.

Am I right about the other portion of the cast? Did roomies have 3 guys walking around singing all the time?
