Will not even last 1 season. Same reason Leftist talk radio always fails. NO one wants to tune in for a weekly Leftist bigoted, hysteric political screed.

most of us have a gay couple in family.

I hear/read this all the time; but, considering that the percentage of the population that is "gay" is under 3%, I don't think this can be true. I know, I don't have a "gay couple" in my family.

“I heard one of the guys interviewed and he pretty much said they intend it as indoctrination for us benighted straights who don’t get the gay “family” thing.”

“Friends” beat them to it over a decade ago (none of the children, including those added as the show “jumped the shark”, lived with both of their biological parents).

These shows have about as much impact as the “Cosby Show” (none); networks have to go to increasingly desperate lengths to stop people from turning to a PC instead of the TV for entertainment...

“I choose to fight not against the breakdown of the family nor sexual norms but the language.”

We should never let the words “deviant”, “sodomite”, “pedophile” etc. disappear; I use them in discussions about “gay marriage”, and you really see people reflect on it.

You’re right. The Big Bang, Modern Family, it’s all trash.

No wonder so many of our young people are shacking up, delaying marriage, and abandoning church. While growing up, the kids watched garbage while their parents were off pursuing their adult dreams.

You must have a very odd family. No homosexual couples in my family.

I think the best way to confront this is by parody. Create a video for the Internet entitled “The New Abnormal”, showing two (very made up to conceal their identities) actors who portray a flamboyant and a leather homosexual who supposedly live on Castro Street in San Francisco.

They adopt babies out of spite to the “breeders”, then utterly neglect and abuse them (dolls, thankfully) until they “die”. And then they adopt another one to meet the same fate. They know nothing about child rearing and care less, even now and then killing one of the babies because they cried when one of the homosexuals was in a bad mood or hungover.

The third character is a bureaucrat at the state child protective services, also homosexual, who describes in great detail to the distraught women giving up their babies for adoption, how their child will go to a loving heterosexual couple. Lying, of course, before tossing another baby to the homosexual men to kill.

In any event, the homosexuals would probably react more violently than the Muslims have done to the most recent Mohammed video.

>>It will be canceled within 1 month.<<

No it won’t. Glee wasn’t, even when the ratings tanked after the first half season.

It’s propaganda and will win every Emmy that comes around. It will not go away any time soon and will be lauded as a huge hit.

This is why we cut our cable and watch our Roku. The only things that come through the antenna that we watch is Createtv , the news and Judge Judy.

Bingo. You understand the situation perfectly. The entertainment business is not a business. The news business is not a business. They are not driven by profits, for they have other things in mind.

You could be right, but the people who make the shows aren't necessarily the same people who put them on the air.

The 'people' will eventually watch such a show, just get the right stars and writers.

Every defiancy is now acceptable as long as you laugh at it, people will say,'it is only a comedy'.

They do that with the cartoons, like the Simpsons.

it is not enough for it to be cancelled.

it must become so toxic no advertiser will touch it.

it must become so toxic as to end the careers of all performers involved.

Never gonna happen.

Two words: Charlie Sheen.

but don’t be surprised if they prop this show up a long time because of a desire to normalize and propagandize the lifestyle.

<><><><

Who is the ‘they’ you refer to?

The advertisers and their shareholders don’t give a flying rat’s patoot about normalizing the lifestyle. They are interested in the return.

They’ll say it was worth a shot and what’s next as they withdraw their support because it is not bringing the return they wanted.

“Who is the ‘they’ you refer to?”

NBC. I think they would take a loss on a show to plug the lifestyle. I don’t think they would be beyond discounting ad rates or even bullying advertisers, saying if you want to be on our most succcessful shows like football or talent contests, you have to be on here. I admit I don’t know the particulars of what they would do, but NBC’s liberalism is virulent.
