About Roomies

A 14-year-old genius (Corey Haim) and a 42-year-old ex-Marine (Burt Young) become college roommates and deal with a kind of Odd Couple relationship in their dorm room, eventually finding something to learn from each other. Roomies aired on NBC from March 19, 1987 to May 15, 1987. Reruns of the series later aired on Saturday morning.

Directed by Sy Rosen, Roomies leans on a strong ensemble — Burt Young, Corey Haim, Jane Daly — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1987.
