The show is great. It should be nominated next time at the Emmys for best comedy series and Lenny Clark should win best actor in a comedy series!

how pumped was I to turn on the tv last night and see Lenny Clark? that guy is funny as hell. he was great on that Dennis Leary roast and he plays a great Irish-Catholic dad too. this is going to develope into a very good show I think.

I thought it was a pretty good show. The critics were wrong.

I thought it was horrible and very unfunny.

I refuse to watch this show because the ads I saw of the show was nothing but homophobic. The days of Stanley Roper making anti-gay jokes is long gone. It was okay in the 70's and those old episodes are still funny today. But in 2003, we've come way too far as a whole that a show like this is really useless. I saw about 5 commercials for it, and each one of them had the Irish dad (and I am Irish too, and my dad doesn't act like that) cracking gay jokes.

Homo-sexuality is the one thing that religion and science agrees is wrong.

if you really feel that way, why even bother watching a show with gay characters in it? Much less actually liking it

Where the hell was the "lol, j/k" in the post?

I thought that is was pretty good. I only watched the first 15 minutes because that was all I could watch before I left but from what I have seen it was pretty funny.

But I wouldn't say best new sitcom.

I didn't find the show homophobic at all. There were a lot of gay centered jokes but a friend of mine who I watched the show with (who is gay) did not have a problem with the humor at all. I would guess that you are probably in the minority in being offended by it.

and youre right this is 2003 and that is why sitcoms are being made with homosexuals starring in them. American society has come a long way in accepting homosexuality and we still have a long way to go but it's all relative is not going to hurt the homosexual equality cause so lighten up.

you're only 16, don't tell adults what they're doing is right or wrong because many teenagers only know what their parents and teachers teach them.

Plus, I find it funny you like Newsradio so much considering what comedy troop Dave Foley came from. I mean, next are you going to be a Cher fan yet hate gays?

If you hate gays and lesbians, good for you, but do not enforce your "f-a-g-s go to hell" opinions because it offends many and it is something that could get you banned, because you're only saying it to piss people off.

Also, if you hate gays so badly (which I think is stupid and hateful), why bother watching a show with gay characters? That would be like a racist person who loves the UPN's sitcoms

people are just living the way they were born. And they're doing it and all they want is people who know nothing about homosexuality to stop telling them how to live.

Nobody is telling you to "accept" us, and nobody's telling you to go watch Queer Eye For The Straight Guy or to run out and buy a Village People cd. But if you're going to spew hatred out on an entire segment of the population, do not expect gays to not fight back. It's 2003, enough scientific and media knowledge has been exposed about homosexuality that to still hate us is like still hating black people, or to still be anti-semetic, or to be misogynistic.

You are not born gay. Don't be so stupid and naive. Everyone is born hetero-sexual, that is how biology works. Thinking that people are born gay, is like thinking that Laker Fans are born Laker fans.

oh, and you're the expert because you were faced with the "dillemma" of whether to "turn gay" or "stay straight", right? If people "choose" to be gay, why are people so afraid of being out? Why would someone purposely choose a lifestyle in which you have to worry about not getting gaybashed by white trash, and have right-wing religious freaks spew brimstone and fire just for BEING.

You do realize that most of the gay people you debate with are at least a decade older than you, right? In high school, everyone with the exception of gay kids and a few "*** hags" are homophobic, you're high school age. Once you hit college, you'll grow up. Most adult straight men have a "you do your thing, just don't hit on me" attitude. Which is more positive than purely hating something because you don't understand why they're the way they are.
