Brandon, CBS' PARTNERS at TCA 2012

Brandon and the cast & creators of CBS' new comedy PARTNERS took the stage in Los Angeles this weekend at the 2012 Summer TCA Tour in which various members of the print/online press took the opportunity to ask questions about the show (view photos). Not only did CBS release a new poster, the stars also took part in a live Twitter chat with fans. For a round-up of PARTNERS at the TCAs, click 'read more.'

BuzzSugar summarizes why Brandon and Sophia Bush have been gunning for comedies.

Routh, who plays Wyatt, the boyfriend of Urie's character Louis, talked about starring in his first sitcom, and said that he had been pushing to do comedy since he started acting. When a reporter said that his character seemed like the "dumb blonde" of the show, Kohan corrected the reporter by saying that Wyatt's defining characteristic "[isn't] dumb, it's guileless," and that Wyatt is from a different background than Louis, but "he's no dummy." Routh agreed, saying, "He's so trusting . . . when you're trusting you don't think anyone has bad intentions."

Head on over to the Facebook page to view photos from the events. The photos also include those straight from Sophia Bush and Dave Krumholtz's phones.

@jimcolucci Brandon Routh's #Partners character grew up Mennonite & never watched TV; that's why he's guileless and sweet, say creators. #TCAS12 #CBS
