How is this much different from the 1960s sitcom "Family Affair"? Uncle Bill and Mister French, his butler. Yeah sure, a butler in a Manhattan apartment.

Uncle Bill brought home a lot of Aunts. I get the feeling there weren't any Aunts in this movie...or butlers.

That means it was clearly making the two men a "couple".

The difference is that viewer was not supposed to think that these were homosexual characters. I haven't seen the "Good Boy" movie, but if I do I am sure I will sense that the characters in question are supposed to homosexuals. And so will any child more than 6 or 7 years old. Is this going to stop me from taking them to the movie? Perhaps not -- but only because the normalization of homosexuality is everywhere, can't be avoided*, and is something to discuss with your kids.

Except that uncle Bill was constantly dating beautiful women and French didn't seem to mind.

Uncle Charley, on My 3 Sons...gay, big time, sure, he loved to cook and wear an apron...plus he was a sailor, lots of ports and such, never got married. And how was he an Uncle anyway? Oh, and Alice from the Brady bunch, Mel Cooley from Dick Van Dyke Show, and Colonel Healey from I Dream of Jeannie (and Reuben Kincaid from Partridge Family!)

It kills me what kind of hysteria some people whip themselves up to, its a freaking crappy kids flick.

Go see Kill Bill, Uma rocks!
