In any case, next week marks the arrival of two sitcoms that share a nearly identical premise. And no matter how you slice it, one is funny. One isn’t. “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place,” the funny one, launches next Wednesday on ABC at 9:30 p.m. EST. “House Rules,” more aptly named “Two Guys, a Girl and No Pizza Place,” bows Monday on NBC at 8:30 p.m. EST. Catch both these premieres and you’ll be reminded that sitcoms, aiming to cultivate rapport with the viewer, generally avoid new, unfa miliar ideas. Another thing: The success of a sitcom depends al most all on execution. That cer tainly makes the difference here. In each series, three pals face the world together as young adults. One chap is a lanky slack er-dreamer. The other is a wired- up realist. Both strenuously reject adulthood. (Did we mention Peter Pan? One of the “Two Guys” is even named Pete!) They live in close proximity, but platonically, with the gal. NBC describes “House Rules” as “a trio of tight childhood friends who, now in their mid- 20s, share a house and a life to gether in Denver.” It stars David Newsom as a bumbling medical student, Bradley White as a re porter and Maria Pitillo as an as sistant district attorney. Fox unveils another hour-long romantic comedy next Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST. The first scene of “Significant Others” finds 25-year- old Campbell discovering Henry, his best friend, in bed with Nell, his other best friend. “When did stuff start to count? I mean, in life,” Campbell wonders later on, lamenting his lack of both a job and a relation ship. “It didn’t used to. Pick the wrong summer job? Get a differ ent job next summer. Pick the wrong girl? Dump her, move to the right girl. I loved that.” Now TV loves this bittersweet angst, this foot-dragging coming of age. No wonder. Reluctant adults everywhere can relate.
