It is a really entertaining show and it is groundbreaking, but I think it may be doing some harm...

I watched the opener in spite of itself. I watched the show last year sporadically. I quit watching the third season out of sheer disgust. Since the start, I watched it for the train wreck aspect - I simply couldn't believe a show that bad made it onto television and kept getting renewed. The funnest part is guessing the entire plots at the beginning of each show - it's all so afterschool special and formulaic that it is truly possible to call each story arc within a few sentences of it happening.
I do like Sharon Gless and the character of Emmett really cracks me up. The other characters either bore me (Ted, Bryan, Michael and his revolving earnest or boneheaded boyfriends, the girls), or are unwatchable enough to make me change the channel (Justin,Ted's boyfriends, The dead Uncle Vic). I was so disappointed in this show, as I loved the UK version and found it well cast, well written and well acted. Everything this show IMO is not.
Is it bad for the gay community ? Toss up. People who are going to hate homos already do. People who are gonna like us pretty much already do. It's
TV, no one believes it's reality.
I do remember that Twinkie boy had a violin player boyfriend a few seasons ago that was really a doll. One of maybe three actors on the show I have ever found atractive !
On the other hand, I love the L Word.
