The show lasted for two seasons on CBS, from September 1995 to June 1996. Barrowman then appeared as Peter Williams in Titans (2000). According to writer Joanna Bober, in Titans, Barrowman plays a “ruthless mogul” who gains “control of the family’s private aviation company (a fleet of ‘Titans’) from his semi-retired father” while increasing the profitability of the company amidst a series of soap opera intrigues. Titans was cancelled after airing eleven episodes. Barrowman was also considered for the role of Will in Will and Grace, but the producers reportedly felt he was “too straight” and the role eventually went to straight actor Eric McCormack instead.
