Premise

City Guys centered on two teenagers from different backgrounds who both attended Manhattan High School that became best friends.

Cast

Production

In September 1997, NBC announced City Guys would be a new series on the networks Saturday morning TNBC lineup.[2] The series was described by John Miller, then NBC's executive VP of advertising, promotion and event programming, as having a more "urban feel" in comparison to other TNBC sitcoms air of middle America with California hipness.[2] Like other TNBC shows, City Guys was given substantial review from an educational consultant to ensure there was educational or informative value per the FCC qualifiers.[2]

Syndication

City Guys ran in syndication on local television stations throughout the United States from September 10, 2001 to September 13, 2002. Tribune Entertainment, which distributed the series (its corporate sister at the time, Tribune Broadcasting, incidentally, was the primary station group carrying the series), sold the series as a syndication package–alongside fellow TNBC sitcom California Dreams–for stations to count towards educational programming guidelines set by the Federal Communications Commission. Reruns of the series briefly aired on BET from October 2, 2010 to October 16, 2010.

As of 2022, City Guys–as well as fellow TNBC sitcom One World–were available for streaming on Tubi, but by June 2023, this show was removed from Tubi, though One World still is available to watch as well. It is also not available to stream on Peacock.

International distribution rights to the series are owned by MGM Television.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
