I'll check it out. If it's anything of the caliber similar to Bravo's current scripted show, Dirty John (starring Golden Globe nominee Connie Britton), then I'm all in. 

 

I'd be interested in a "new generation" depicting life in 2019 and beyond, with the originals making cameos or supportive roles in their original characters. They're the old guard now, remembering how things "used to be," versus being the up and coming 30-year-old crowd nearly 20 years ago.

Personally I’d prefer a clean break from the Showtime version. (Setting that show in a nondescript Pittsburgh was a mistake.) I’d love to see a new version in a diverse lively place like New Orleans, Miami, or Atlanta.

I will tell you that having all the leads being white didn't make sense, but than I have to remember that they were older than I was.. so perhaps that was how gay men hung out back in the late 90s.

 

I live in Chicago, and the gay population is diverse (though it's interesting that the three or four main areas of gay club hotspots have different demographics/clienteles).  I could see someone like Brian going to the hot-spot as a 50 something guy thinking he's still hot stuff and being told he was too old/fat/etc.. and to go to another club (true story, it happened to one of my friends when he had put on a little weight and was told he was too fat to be let in).

 

There are so many avenues the powers that be could do with this show.. and Andy Cohen doesn't oversee production on scripted/unscripted shows anymore (or at least ones in development)... so there might be a chance of some depth being infused in these shows (and yes.. a little male backside is always a nice touch

Minibar? 

[Soaplovers]

 

Scarlet... but I heard Minibar was known for doing that.  I never had a problem even when I was a little heavier as long as I wore my Stonewall kickball t shirt

  Alas, they don't exist anymore so obviously they turned away a lot of peeps.

[SteelCity]

I'm sure that's correct.

[Gray Bunny]

 

Even though I'm only 35, I still wish the Gentry was there instead of Scarlet... one lowkey piano bar was nice amidst all the chaos. 

[Soapsuds]

Only? ...lol

[Gray Bunny]

 

Hush, lol.  I said that because the Gentry bar closed over 10 years ago when I was just a wee lil baby gay

[KMan101]

 

lol yep. I always felt it was kind of overpraised. It got a pass because it featured LGBT characters as leads.

I remember the show getting a lot of criticism as well, especially the first season. 

 

I'm not sure what a reboot would get. RTD's last gay show, Banana/Cucumber/whatever, got a ton of backlash. 

[KMan101]

 

Yeah, I'm not sure about this one either. I also felt "Looking" was a tad overpraised.

 

I guess it did face some criticism, that does ring a bell when you bring it up. I guess my impression overtime is that it's been a bit overpraised but yeah it did get some criticism early on. It wasn't very good, lol.

 

I mean, I appreciate they are doing shows with gay leads, and it matters, but at the same time, none of these shows have been all that appealing to me, personally, for a variety of reasons.
