If they don't interest you, that's okay. But this stuff about not needing to watch because you can listen to what other people are saying about those shows is not true.
Did you know that one of the characters in Six Feet Under was a gay cop? And there was a procedural aspect to the show, too. But it involved the funeral business and not crime solving.
Have you seen Third Man Out or Shock to the System with Chad Allen? They're like episodes of Murder She Wrote with a gay lead character. Chad Allen plays a gay P.I. in the series.
Never heard of the Chad Allen stuff. I assume those shows are on a premium channel, and I've established that I refuse to pay for channels I don't need.
As for the rest, none of it is news to me, so I have to disagree with you that it's "not true" that I don't have to watch these shows. I'm standing by what I said about not necessarily needing to see these shows to know what they are about. None of what you've mentioned concerning
Six Feet Under is news to me, and I've never seen a single episode. I'm going to be charitable and assume I just wasn't clear. I knew all about the gay aspects of
Six Feet Under, cop and all, just from watching the
Today show every morning and from reading the
Philadelphia Gay News every week. I don't need to know any more than that.
And the last time I saw a picture of Chad Allen, he was looking a little scrawny. I guess pretty boys don't always grow up to be handsome men.
