It's on Showtime, which is owned by Viacom -- the same people who own Simon and Schuster, which published "lying history."
I don't?
Never seen it, but I call it Queer Ass Folk.
'tis a better title, IMO.
I believe the best way to stop that is through the market.
Speak for yourself!
The minute I heard of that show, I had a new name for it: "Queer As* Folk" (As* sounds a lot like As).
I have pretty much given up on TV. I usually don't watch more than two hours a week. I don't have cable or satellite, and when TV goes digital I will not replace my 20 year old analog TV -- that will be the end of it. There isn't much besides increasingly lurid sit-coms and these stupid "reality shows" anyways.
I have mixed feelings about getting the government more involved in regulating what is on TV. The root of the problem is cultural. America has been so dumbed-down and coarsened that horrible TV is inevitable. Anything intelligent that actually has values doesn't stand a chance. I'm still upset that FOX cancelled "Firefly," which was the most original thing in years and instead FOX and the other networks copied each other's "reality shows" ad nauseum. The fact is that when enough people accept mediocrity, mediocrity is exactly what they will get and nothing else! Rather than having interesting characters or plots, the writers can just take the mediocre way out and choose vulgarity for its shock value. Vulgarity is sure to bring in the ratings while producing something thoughtful and challenging is risky. But once you bring in the government, what is to stop them from demanding that every show have, say, 10% homosexual content?
