Network Axes Fall Hard on Gay Characters
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | May 11, 2013 | Lesley Goldberg

It's been a rough end to what started out as a record-breaking season for openly gay characters on the small screen.

Gay EX-basketball player. He played about 2 minutes per game last year, and is currently without a contract. If he signs, it’s only because some team wanted the positive publicity.

There is a football player in the same position. He has not announced he is gay, but.......

Honestly, I didn’t notice, because I’ve basically just stopped watching all TV except the news, and have stopped going to all movies in theaters. I mean — who really wants to get gunned down or corrupted by filth? I watch the old ones I used to enjoy and that were actually entertaining — at home, in privacy and peace.

I really don’t care what they do on the “networks.” Just have better things to do with my life than to rot my brain.

I’m pretty sure you multiple me by a few hundred million and you get where revenues are just not supporting what they’re peddling.

lol. I guess you can’t watch How I met your Mother anymore either. Don’t see the Star Trek Movie.

Good call. I never watched 'How I Met Your Mother' mainly because I already knew Doogie was proud about wanting to have sex with other men. And a queer Mr. Spock? Nope. Won't be seeing 'Star Trek', either. Interestingly, I don't care much about lesbians and bull dykes. I figure they can't attract men and have given up trying and so they just take whatever companionship they can get.

Anyway, I could convert a lesbian anytime I wanted to.
If I wanted to. Which I don't.

FRegards,
LH

Did Degenerate get axed also? I was hoping she would be after Ron Johnson got shown the exit but hadn’t heard anything.

Yup, she be gone. I’ve read that now Penney’s is putting ads out showing normal people saying things like “forgive us - we’re listenint to you” etc.

Haha - too late. They joined the dark side, now let them suffer.

To tell the truth, I don’t know if she was terminated or some kind of contract finished, but she is gone.

I have never seen any kind of apology for the homo agenda stuff and really am not expecting one. I did see the Mother’s Day ad and there was no overtly gay stuff, but no apology or retraction of any kind regarding the big homo push last year. I took the “forgive us” schtick to be “forgive us for not having sales and for dropping clothing lines”, but I could be wrong.

"Russell Johnson. Sad story, really, because he was a genuine war hero who was a friend of Audie Murphy. I have a lot of respect for the guy. One of his kids died of AIDS"

That explains SO much. I read his biography and while he comes across as a "nice guy", he had nothing but venom for Ronald Reagan who he worked with in the '50s. He said it was because of Reagan's anti-communist views, but now that you told me about his gay son, it all makes sense.

He's a typical lefty, lashing out at, and blaming everyone but his own son's behavior for contracting HIV.

There is also a well known quarterback who is OUT for not being gay but far worse he's a Christian.

“if you’ve seen one gay character you’ve seen them all “

And that’s really the main problem. They are EXTREMELY one-dimensional and EXTREMELY boring! Not to mention simply not funny at all, no matter how loud they make the laugh tracks.

I saw a reference to it and a screen cap from an ad, on another site. Supposedly the ad was from TV, I haven’t had a TV since the Clinton hearings, and I only had one even then for a year or two. The ad supposedly said stuff like “we’re sorry we didn’t listen to you but now we are” etc.

I remember that show. Always made me wonder about Tony Randall.

"Maybe they'll wise up and bring back Mayberry RFD and Petticoat Junction. :-) "

There must be thousands of heartwarming incidents performed by our wonderful military for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Enough to create several entertaining and inspiring TV series.

Thanks for the reminder. Funny thing, the recent most visible down-In-flames outer space soap opera failed immediately, and is not even mentioned: Stargate Universe. Homo suicide, among other things. A merciful death.

Back at you, I completely forgot about debacle.

As far as I was concerned, Bailey in a landslide.

As well as Maryann, but not at the same time that would just be to kinky.

If it's about homosexuals, I turn it off or change the channel.
Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.
