So they’re after the Oprah audience...

A man breaks up with a gal because she’s a jerk and he’s glad to be rid of her. If she initiates the breakup, she’s a jerk and he’s glad to be rid of her.

You just described a chick flick TV series.

Remember - gays have money too! That’s why the second Star Trek series was popular...

They’re after any audience they can get. Just like any other intelligently run TV show.

See you’re just thrashing around wanting to insult people. I already said the first boyfriend DIED, that’s what she was rebounding from.

It’s not a chick flick TV series because it hasn’t come close to having a happy ending and isn’t staging for one. Chick flicks have happy endings.

The second Trek series was popular because it brought Trek back. The juggernaut by that point was well established. Of course the first Trek did some things to try to get the female (and I guess gay) audience too, they followed the old Wild Wild West rule: if the plot is thin have Bill (or Bob depending on which show) take his shirt off. They didn’t really have a good shirt removing plot substitute in Next Gen.
