Hoooo boy. Billy Crystal has angered plenty with some poorly-worded statements he made about the portrayal of gay sex scenes on television. According to The Independent, during a panel on the Television Critics Association this weekend promoting his upcoming FX series The Comedians, Crystal said he can do without all the gratuitous P-in-the-B scenes that TV keeps shoving in his face:
Speaking during a panel interview in Pasadena, the actor said: “Sometimes I think: ‘Ah that’s too much for me’.
“Sometimes, it’s just pushing it a little too far for my taste and I’m not going to reveal to you which ones they are. I hope people don’t abuse it and shove it in our face to the point where it feels like an every-day kind of thing,” Crystal added.

Wow - never figured Billy Crystal for a “hater”....
The double entendres practically write themselves.
I’d like to get comments from Whoopi, Cher, and Rosie.
I thought his acting career was already over.
He played one of the first gay characters on TV.
Yeah, Crystal. Why should we care what you say.
He is the one who started it.
He and Susan Harris, Sam Harris’ mother and propagandist extraordinaire.
It was fine for Crystal 40 years ago to bring it in.
Now he doesn’t like it as an old man.
Poor baby.
...Says the guy that played a homo on t.v.
Well that’s the end of his career, the gay mafia will put out a hit, or do they call it a pinch? yoo hoo
Dang, what kind of TV service provider does he have?.....................
We have warnings for sex, violence and strong language but for some reason there is no warning about homosexuality and there should be.
I am sick of the crap pushed in my face. Last week my wife and I settled down to watch Person of interest and low and behold the two women kissed.
I went on to Netflix to see a show called pretty little liars as my daughter who is 13 keeps talking about it as her friends watch it. There is a girl there who said why should she change the wheel is it because she is “gay”.
I am so sick of the crap there is hardly a show now which does not contain homosexuality and it is not by coincidence either.
They had a show called Alcatraz and there is one called Longmire which is a family nice show. Of course they are cancelled and it would not surprise me that if the homostapo told the Director of the show to have homosexuals in it but they might have said no and that is why it is cancelled.

A Gay Tide Ad has showed up on TV ,LOL
It was downright scandalous when Carol and Mike Brady appeared in the same bed. We now know that there was most definitely no hanky Panky going on between the two.
I believe Ozzie and Harriet Nelson were actually the first.
Billy should look in the mirror. He was the first cute, likable homosexual character on TV in the show SOAP. There was no sex, but prior to then Homosexuals were never shown favorably if at all on TV. He was portrayed as the most normal and smartest person in his dysfunctional family.
good idea...
“The following program is rated H for Homo”
Even though I do not like Billy, I definitely agree with him.
I am really sick and tired of that crap.
I am also sick and damn tired of being lectured about race.
Shut up, I ain’t listening.
or they were just there for comedy
Right and for a long time, in every show the lead discovers that his father really was gay all those years. I’m sick of it all, nothing but propoganda.
