Tell me the truth. Are there really gay men out there that are impressed by the TV show "Will and Grace?" I find the show appalling. Since it came on the air (how long ago?), I've been disappointed by both Jack and Will's apparent lack of any lasting relationships while Grace has had countless boyfriends and a wedding. Why is it that on a show depicting the interrelationships of gays and straights that only the straights are allowed to show affection? I remember one episode, early in the shows run, where Jack and Will walk by the outdoor set of the Today Show. Hal Roker was doing the weather and talking to the crowd when Jack and Will came up. I don't remember the specifics of the situation, but Jack says something to Will about showing the first male to male kiss on TV and proceeds to have the most unappealing lip lock with Will. It looked like they both detested it. I think that was the last "kiss" I've ever see on the show between two men. Am I crazy? Am I being too harsh? I don't know but it seems to me that the show doesn't live up to its premise. Is this a network exec issue? Probably. But, these days, many so called taboos have been challenged on network TV with little lasting fanfare (what was it Janet Jackson did?). Anyway, I'm not expecting "Queer as Folk" on network. I just want the representation to actually represent where I'm coming from rather than some asexual, catty stereotype.
