Q.A.F only on Showtime

AKA2D '91 · #1 01-27-2003, 08:58 AM

I've seen a few episodes of Queer As Folk on Showtime. I had been told by some that it was "out there." Once I got used to the idea of seeing homosexual males interacting I got more comfortable with it. Like Sex and the City, I'm getting "hooked". Last night, I saw the new episodes begin March 2nd. I guess I'll have to rent the first 2 seasons to catch up.

Who else will admit that they watch the show.

BTW, I'm going to catch up on SF too.

I'm not a faithful viewer of the show, but if I remember or catch it on I actually enjoy the show. It did take me sometime to get used to the homosexual love scenes, but the show does have a good story line.

I like Brian. I kind of feel sorry for him. He's in pain.

I wonder if he or any of the other characters are homosexual (in real life), especially Emmett.

I'll admit that I watch the show when I'm from school. (I don't get Showtime at school.) The show is hilarious!

i love Brian and the gay character, David, on Six Feet Under. they both have a bunch of layers which makes them very interesting to watch. from what i've read, both the guy that plays Emmett and the guy that plays Justin are gay. the others including the women that play the lesbian couple are straight.
to be straight and play gay, that's some serious acting

Indeed.

I don't like Justin (he does "seem" like something).

the only folks i don't care for are Lindsay and ... (i forgot her name). the women don't move me as much. and sometimes Debbie, Michael's mom is a bit much for me. but hey, more folks should be that supportive of their kids (regardless of their sexual identity). i like Justin, i don't like him and Brian. he's too "boy-toy" and needs to realize it and leave Brian. i see why i love this show, it's so soapy

even moreso than Sex And The City, my other fave. and Six Feet Under...if it's racy, i'm probably watchin' it...but NOT livin' it...

I don't like them together either.

LOL. I know that's right! There really isn't anything on "regular" TV to watch, so if can hold my attention, I'm WATCHING it. LOL

I tried to get into 6 feet under. I actually had, but...
I guess I'll get back into it since this year will be the end for SATC and The Sopranos.

I hope there aren't people out there who are TVphobic. Is that a word?

I admit it I'm a QAF junkie. I must admit in the beginning it really took a lot to get use to seeing it so up close and personal with the same sex relationships, but like I said I admit it, I'm hooked.

I don't like Lindsay and Melanie at all, I'm not sure if it's because I'm female and I can tolerate and handle seeing 2 males all over one another versus 2 females, I don't know.

Als when this show debuted, it was said that the guy who plays Brian is married in real life and has 2 kids I think. I'm sorry but all that with the male bodies all up on one another, I think they are all gay. I have seen the guy that plays Ted in a commercial for some rent a car place.

Now Emmett is my favorite out of all of them. I saw him on some show where he was palying opposite Noah Wyile (sp) from ER when they did the Bill Gates story and Emmett didn't even look like Emmett. I mean I almost didn't realize it was Emmett.

kiml122,

i can't get into the women based on what you said. two men...no problem, particularly if they're attractive. oops, did i say that?

i don't know...i don't think that these folks are actually gay. maybe tri-curious but not gay

i, too, saw Emmett in a Showtime movie and Michael on a Frasier episode. Emmett's not as "fem" in real life.
now, i'm just waiting for a movie based on E. Lynn Harris' book(s). his books are tame compared to QAF...IMO. think, the bathhouse scenes...

Yep...I'll admit it too!

I love Queer as Folk. Sometimes I forget that it's on, but I do watch it on a fairly regular basis.

My husband HATES the show...for obvious reasons. He's tried to watch it with me in the past, but ever since an episode where Brian had Justin in a very graphic missionary position, that's about it.

AKA2D '91 · #14 01-28-2003, 06:07 PM

I thought that one of E. Lynn's books was being made for Showtime.

The lez couple...I don't care for the brunette. I was sooooo glad that Brian decided not to sign paternal rights over to old girl. The way it looks, the chicks are going to have some drama going on.

I'm trying to catch up...lol

I haven't been able to get into QAF for this very reason. My hubby REFUSES to watch it, Oz and 6 Ft Under for the same reasons. I tell ya homophobic black men!
