A bunch of useless crap
Ok, first off I have to admit I don't watch very much television so I haven't been completely indoctrinated by the media. I turn on the tv when I am home which is only about one week a month, often a tad less. I don't have cable either so I catch whatever is on the three or four broadcast stations that my rabbit ears can pick up.

Will and Grace. Ok, a kind of cute show although it promotes some things I am not exactly in tune with. Have I ever mentioned that I am not the most PC person in the world? If you aren't comfortable with non-PC ideas, for the love of God stop reading now!

Now, for those who love flinging certain accusatory words around, I am not "homophobic". Nor do I lack a sense of humor. I like to think I have a great albeit twisted sense of humor.

I found this show to be pathetic in it's transparent message. The dialog sucked and it's story line left, well, everything to be desired. It's only reason for being is obviously to promote some sort of pro-gay ideology and for the most part it pretty much sucked.

Part of the story in this episode was that one of the gay guys had a "fix up" date with some guy who it turns out had never been on a gay date before. The other part of the story line was the straight woman had a massage where she thought the female masseuse got a little too friendly.

The jokes were predictable and lame, and the whole show seems to be pretty sad. Somehow I doubt that anyone other than the most radical gay would watch this crap. Here's a clue to all of those radical gays. The mainstream public just doesn't want to know what you do in your bed room, nor do they really give a shit. They don't want to get to know you through moronic sitcoms, nor do they want to get to know you through contrived movies. Get over it.

If any gay person is still reading at this point, fist of all I'll say thank you for hearing me out, and then I'll continue by saying that while I don't personally have a thing in the world against gay people I really don't want their "gayness" shoved in my face any more than I want anyone else's sexuality shoved in my face. I really don't give a shit who you fuck. I just want to be left alone.

The only time I begin to dislike any gay person is when they throw their "gayness" in my face. Here's a clue for you, I have the same reaction when some guy acts overly "macho". I don't like it. Keep your bedroom bullshit in the bedroom and we'll get along just fine.

*edit* I've had several beers and am not really sure I expressed myself well in this article. If I offended you, leave a comment as to why and I'll make sure to leave a "I don't give a shit" comment.

Ah well, I've been accused of far worse.

Well maybe beer makes you think better because I agree with this article.

I am sick of the gay shows...on for no other reason than their "gayness." They often have stupid story lines when they bother with them at all.

Have a few more and tell us what you think about ?????

They don't go against the 'formula' that has been tried and used for years. That's what people are comfortable with so that's what we get constantly.

I did and do like Will & Grace. I thought the actors were very amusing and played their roles well. And you won't get no shit from me M!! Unless we start drinking and my tongue gets loose!!

The only thing I like about Will and Grace is that Squeaky voice lady.  The rest of the cast bores me.

Yeah. It's amazing how, whenever gays are portrayed on screen in more complex roles than queens of the desert, they're always tortured and lonely. There's a clear message being sent there - be gay and be miserable. You'd almost think it's part of an attempt to stop people from being gay.

Dunno about the thinking better part, but tv in general just bores me.

It would seem to me that someone would want to produce a show where some of the charactors are gay but with that not being the primary focus. It would seem more real and less "agenda" for lack of a better word. The show in question could have real potential if not for the very bad writing. I love a good comedy, and this just isn't it.

I think it's just a case of bad writing. Perhaps in an attempt to gain some kind of empathy they lose sight of reality or something. I don't know. I just think that if they are realy trying to promote some sort of gay acceptance they would make an attempt to portray themselves as normal people and shift the focus away from being gay as I don't think that a person's sexual preference is the primary thing that defines most people. People are more complex than that.

This entire show hinges upon that single idea and thusly falls flat on it's face in my opinion. But then, it is a sitcom and most of them pretty much suck anyway.

I don't have time for TV anymore. I have found it severely hinders productivity.

But I agree with your general assessment of "Will and Grace". It's a bore.
