Generational differences

Re: Generational differences

snip... And now the shows are almost required to have a gay couple as members of the core cast.

Are you afraid that you'll become gay if you watch a show with a gay couple? Don't watch it if you feel threatened, or don't find the show amusing. And, boycott any of the advertisers, to make a point.

Re: Generational differences

Like all those years ago when Soap was first broadcast and it was ground breaking to have a gay character. Truthfully I do not remember if they ever introduced his partner or not.

They did. It was a star football QB.

You really have to be a left wing moonbat. I'm not threatened by the shows with gays. I just get tired of of a population that is less than 2 percent of the population becoming 40 percent of the core cast and being involved in major plot developments. The story lines are just not that interesting. It is as bad as just about every single rural southerner being portrayed as a bigoted redneck, or dimwitted barely able to tie their own shoes.

I just do not like the political correct nonsense being the major reason for character orientation or reasons for being added. And not interesting character plot lines being the major reason for the character being a part of the show. I also do not like having hetero couples being added if they have no reason for being part of the plot either.

Re: Generational differences

There was a show called WKRC in Cincinnati. Since I grew up in Cincinnati, I really don't know if that was just a local sit com or if other people watched it. Anyway, one of the episodes was about saying BOOGER on the radio.

There seems to be a pattern with a lot of shows. As their ratings go down, they parade out the gay characters, and the jokes get raunchier.

I too get sick of it. I don't know very many gay people... and Cincinnati is supposed to be one of the most gay-friendly places in the nation. But every show has to eventually make the story line about someone's gayness. Even AGT. I just don't care, and I don't want to hear about it.

Correction, the shows name was WKRP in Cincinnati.

Oh yeah that was a good one. WKRP had some real good and funny shows. My favorite was when Les Nessman dropped live turkeys out of a helicopter during a rather ill conceived station live promo and the really really hilarious scene when he came back to the station. Best line was, "I sear I thought turkeys could fly"

Re: The gay overtones. I'm not a big fan of social degradation by watching any form of it on TV. ( Call me old fashion outdated what ever.)
It think it comes from the very real feeling of wanting to vomit when ever I see it on TV. I make no apology for my true feelings.
