Queer as Folk

Does anyone know where I can find clips? I saw a few episodes and really liked it!!

I think the show just relied a little too heavily on typical gay personalities/stereotypes and didn't really branch out or have a really complex charactes, really.

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.

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"

The show was awesome its first two seasons but then gradually tanked. But it was gold the first few years.

[Andre]

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.

[KLN]

Andre... Christ, I've missed you.

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!

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!!!!
