This show has only accomplished one thing: To perpetuate the stereotypes about the gay men in America. Don't get me wrong, many gay men act like Will and Jack, however, the good ones don't. If you are going to have a character like Jack belittle other men for not being good looking enough for him, then you should at least make the character of Jack good looking. Will whines throughout the show about not having a boyfriend, pretends not to be as superficial as Jack, and then seeks out the poster boys too. Karen is able to only insult others, as I see it. And if you see Megan M. on tv in interviews, she is very boring and seems very distracted. Grace, Debra M., is a sweet girl who is too good to hang out with the rest of the gang. She would fare better on the big screen. In a parallel universe Sean would be cruising the streets for God knows what, Eric would be managing a Perkin's and Megan would be a bartender at a local pub.
It's sad that a show that aired briefly on CBS entitled "Some of My Best Friends" didn't get a chance to walk. Sweet, innocent and interesting, the show would have eventually captured an audience of kindler, gentler people. My only hope for W & G is that it will tone the writing down and capture a nicer side of the characters.
