I read this in Vixenshe's thread about Queer as Folk and was absolutely floored. Someone stated that Queer as Folk and Will and Grace were filth that was placed on television at a time when children shouldn't view this.

I agree that Queer as Folk has sexually explicit scenes that are not intended for children. But this isn't the issue.

My issue is with Will and Grace. I posted this in another thread:

How is Will and Grace filth? How is Will and Grace any trashier than any other show on television? Is it just because they deal with homosexuality that the show is filth?

Please tell me why Seinfeld or Frasier or Cheers or any other sitcom is any more wholesome than Will and Grace.

Hell, my in-laws think that Klinger from M*A*S*H was a bad thing to see on TV.

Personally, I think it should be up to the parents to monitor what their kids see on TV or in movies. My kids cannot watch overly violent movies...but I don't mind a little sexual explicitness. Reason being, sex is more natural and the more knowledgeable they are, the better off they will be as adults. I did not say pornography...just stuff like mild/brief nudity and movies with some sexual undertones.

Another thing, QAF is on after 10:00 when all influincable children should be in bed. So, there. AND for those of you who don't like Will & Grace is one of the best sitcoms on television, so there! Any one who disagrees, your just mean!
 
Major premise: All TV is trash.
Minor premise: "Will and Grace" is on TV.
Conclusion: "Will and Grace" is trash.
 
Yeah I agree with Jim Henson. Will and Grace is a crappy show, but it isn't "filth". TV doesn't really have any good filth. Damn them.
 
I'm not a big fan of Will and Grace, but yet, I don't think it's trash. Comedy is supposed to be just that...comedy. Not a moral or social statement, just comedy. If it does make a statement, that's just an added bonus.

This thread was not supposed to deal with whether you like Will and Grace or think it's a good show. It was about a moral judgment about the show.


the only problem is if the poster that originally made the statement made it to mean that he thought will and grace was unwatchable because of quality rather than moral reasons

but i do get what you're saying i expect some parents would not let their children watch programmes with any gay issues in them
 
I guess they won't be watching Graham Norton (?) anytime soon then?

i dont like him ... i think hes gay :eek:

you don't say! I like him just fine, but I have to ask why you don't? Is it simply because he's (possibly) gay? That's not very tolerant mr. bigwhitetruckdrivingman. :mad:




whatever...
 
I actually think TV needs more shows regarding homosexuality....

Because that is REAL as well....
 
some people take themselves too seriously

Of course Will and Grace is trash. But its entertainment. Entertainment rarely has any value outside of that function.

If people are watching it, then it cant be all bad.

I am really interested in knowing your take on American Television. Care to tell me what you like and don't, and why?

I hate most of television, but I am going to check out a few new shows this fall, maybe. I missed the start of the one I wanted to see, so now I don't know if I'll be interested. Proably not, unless it is really good.

It is the one called The Haunted.

Anyone seen the first two eps?
