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.

Hopefully, America’s obsession with the homosexuals is wearing off and they are ready to move on to the “next big thing”. All of the homosexual bull**** all of the time is really getting old. It’s time for the low information types to MoveOn and leave the obnoxious homosexual crap to the politicians.

No matter how much they try an foist faggotry on us, it is still repulsive to 99% of us.

Sodomy is Seattle (Gray’s Anatomy) is still going but hopefully not for much longer.

The more they push it...the more we will rebel.

I used to enjoy a TV show called ‘White Collar’. I thought it was fun, and the characters were good. Then I found out the star of the show is a turd poker who is “married” to another, man and they have adopted little boys. Never watched the show again. How could I?

And Dobie Gillis. I thought Bob Denver was hilarious as Maynard G. Krebs. Too bad he never got another gig...

Please tell me you left off the /Sarc tag. You do know he played Gilligan on Gilligan's Island?

Here is the problem they face. They surround themselves with like minded people all day long. They think,” everyone will like this show” Then they wonder how there numbers could be tanking.... Its math dude. 2% of the population is gay. They are aiming at that crowd to purchase products from their adds. They should look at what happened to JC pennys in a few months. They will never learn.

You know the 'G' stood for "Walter"? Maynard explained that "the 'G' is silent".

NBC Cancels 'The New Normal'
"Following a season with the highest recorded number of LGBT characters, these cancellations mean networks have to make a concerted effort to ensure the 2013-2014 season truly reflects the diversity of their audience.

Ummm...
No they don't. Criminal or deviant diversity doesn't count.
Forget a koranimal comedy series.
Forget about the 'happy Pedophile.'
Forget about the 'Happy Long Term kidnapper of multiple women' miniseries.
Forget about the happy bisexual Hookers series.

I can only speak for myself, but of the series introduced in the last five years, which began with all "normal heterosexual" characters, as soon as a hint of perverts appeared, I ceased watching completely. I know I had lots of company, although the deviant crowd cried and moaned about somethingphobia!!
Even otherwise well produced popular series are not immune. Torchwood is the most visible suicidal show I can think of. Blatant pervert scenes dropped over half their healthy audience in just a couple of months. 'Revenge' was another one.
Even the most popular long term action series, NCIS, Warehouse 13, and Revenge come to mind, have toyed dangerously with the gay propaganda story line, but managed to avoid the stupidity of 'in your face' sustained pervert stories.

“I would guess that a fair number of people think something like, “Well, if gay people want to do this or that . . . it’s their business.” Maybe not a majority, but a pretty good percentage.”

I think you are right.

However, it’s the agenda that dogs most people. The subtle indoctrination in Elementary schools, infiltrating our institutions for the purpose of pushing the agenda, and using discrimination laws to force those of faith to marry them when there are plenty of alternatives, are some of the most troubling.

The sheer number of characters who will no longer be on the air means diversity on television is once again at risk,"

Reminds me of some ilk like "Shakedown" Jackson, saying that since the gub'mint employs more than its share of blacks, people that want a smaller government are racists.

Many MANY years ago in Chicago, a young cartoonist friend of mine recited to me for a good three minutes an entire episode of
Petticoat Junction, ending with “so then he took one last puff on his cigar and lovingly put it down on a nearby ledge”.
Then he paused and said “NOTHING HAPPENED IN THE ENTIRE SHOW”.I LOVED IT!” He was also around that time much enamored of a TV movie he’d just seen, called KILLDOZER, about a bulldozer that went around killing people, way before Steven King ever though of it.

And it never will be normal.

Never was and never will be.

Even the State of California's attempt to criminalize opposition to the pervert lifestyle must fail. Freedom of association can never force anyone to associate with koranimals or perverts.

Yeah, me too. Same with Dr. Who spinoff Torchwood. They have a right to be gay and I have a right to change the channel.

Snork! I don't use a /sarc tag - I think it's an insult to my fellow FReepers.

But your question - you ARE aware that the Captain and Gilligan were in a long-standing homosexual relationship? What do you think "little buddy" really meant? And don't EVEN get me started about Ginger and Mary Anne...

;-)

Yes, I'm kidding...

Until they have TV sets like in "1984" that can't be shut off, these crappy shows will never get the ratings they need.
Gay gay gay gay is not entertaining. Pointless lecturing is tiresome.
