I liked the show. I thought it was better than The L Word.

I only watched that show b/c my old roommate loved it (we have a huge lesbian population at my college) and she and her friends were watching it in our room. I guess, for me, it was easier to relate to QAF though. I watched the show during the brief time that we had Showtime, but now I've seen it through Netflix which is a nice way to see TV shows (which I really don't have the time to watch during the school year) w/o spending $30-70 (the HBO/Showtime shows seem to cost a lot) on the box sets.

It's really weird b/c a lot of straight girls love QAF, but lesbian girls don't. My best friend is a lesbian and hated QAF, but I know a lot of my straight girl friends liked it (some were obsessed w/ the show in fact) and I liked it as well. I guess that's how it is, though, b/c I like watching gay porn too. :lol:

I'm just going by one episode I saw. But based on what you've told me from season one, again, I can't relate to any of that. Not to say that it isn't realistic, but that it doesn't really fall under anything I've ever done.

Maybe the biggest problem I had with this show is that there weren't any atypical gays when I watched. I didn't feel like I could relate to any of these characters. But then again, as a gay man, I lead a relatively boring life.

I really enjoyed the lesbian couple on QAF but felt that they were given a cliché storyline with the babies and the paternity mess that came afterward.

I enjoyed them up until that point and loved when one of them said:

"WE know what sex is, not that ten-minute romp you (referring to the guys) have. We can be at it for hours, our wet pu$$!es soak the sheets..."

One of Guys: STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also from The L Word:

(two chicks are fighting over something)

"Girls, girls we may be dykes but we're still ladies"

:lol:

I am ashamed of everyone who saw that show. They were nothing but a bunch of sluts. Horrible, horrible sluts. Not only is the show in poor taste and in offence to my moral character, but how can anyone relate to these people. I'm in shock. In uber-conservative shock.

I watched the first season and part of the second season when we had Showtime and LOVED it. Hal Spark's character was my fave, and his mom, played by Sharon Gless, was a hoot!

I should rent the rest of the seasons to see what I missed, but it sounds like after the 3rd season, the show got kind of redundant.

Ya, Emmett and Drew were my favorite couple. Drew and Emmett had the best sex scene ever when afterwards Emmett screamed "Touchdown!!". Emmett really got the meaning of brokeback after that one, he broke Emmett off the most proper piece sex he had through the whole series! :lol:

I could relate to Emmett and his knack for bedding "straight men" so well it's scary. Out of all of the couples ever on the show, Drew and Emmett's relationship was like looking in a mirror of past relationships and flings.

Matt just looked gorgeous and that butt of his is so perfect you could bounce a 10 dollar roll of quarters off of it and get back 20!!!! :lol:

    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
    • Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.
    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success. 
    • I loved those scenes, lol. I thought I was watching a stage play. But I do hear what you're saying.
    • Jason47's episode summaries clarify everything. https://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1990-1999-t14806-s150.html The construction company is "AJ Construction" (AJ = Adrienne+Justin).   Jencon Oil was building an oil refinery at the construction site.  This was adjacent to the park. Kirk Geiger played the character Chad Webster. The character Chad was an actor in the movie being made.   The child friend with Shawn-Douglas is his cousin Andrew Donovan. A few episodes prior, Andrew and Shawn-Douglas were at the park playing hide-and-seek. They wandered off where they shouldn't have gone, by slipping through the gate onto the construction site.  Shawn-D fell into the hole at the oil refinery. There were several episodes of trying to rescue Shawn-D.  Finally Carly rescued Shawn-D, but he was discovered to be deaf.  Andrew felt bad, but Bo and Shane both understood that it was an accident.  Carly later taught Shawn-D sign language. Shawn-D was played by Scott Groff. Andrew was played by Bradley Michael Pierce. pics here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070404163013/http://www.childrenofsalem.com/days/kids/shawnandrew/shawnandrew.html Larger context here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20080614054207/http://www.bethsdayspage.com/days/riverfrontraider.html
    • I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.
