W & G, Sexual discrimination, coctail of topics all in o
Some may call me a homo, but recently ive been watching will and grace with my girl. I must admit i actually do enjoy it, If you look past all the homosexual vibes it actually does possess great levels of comedy.
But one question sprung to mind... Jack and Will Truman, Jack naturally in real life is gay as a peacock and that reflects in the show. But Will in real life isnt. He doesnt even act gay in the show, he just says his lines but doesnt have that aura that an actor needs, for any part really. I dont wish to put this in a negative way but i dont understand why somebody would appoint that part to a straight man. I myself would think it would be a great challenge to act like i was gay. But no, i am speaking negativelty and going against my policys in life.
No body should be discriminated for not being chosen to play a part in anything because of their looks or sexuallity. Its stupid really, not choosing somebody for something because of their own sexual preference. Like say at school, im captain of the football team (well i was last time i checked lol) and some guys in our p.e class (physical education) are gay. But when im on the field in my own mind if i pick them, its not out of sympathy because they are gay or whatever reason. I pick them because they are GOOD at football and are willing to play. I think thats why people in my school respect me alot more than others because in all truth i dont judge people. If i do its because they are just... THAT bad.

they hired him because they wanted one frilly, visually obviously gay character. and a character that was legitimately gay, but was more serious and didnt act like it. they wanted contrsast in the cast.

I have to say that I find Will and Grace to be one of the worst comedy shows I have ever had the misfortune to endure. Not my cup of Tea, in fact I would rather eat a shit sandwich than watch that trash. But each to their own. Thank fuck that not everyone shares my sense of humour because that World would be a sick and unsavoury arena of the Wrong kind of mayhem.
There are a few programs which I have slated then actually given a chance to and liked in some way...But Will and Grace isn't in that category!! Good luck to you all.

there was this show, it had charly sheen in it but before he got the part the guy from back to the future was playing it (parkinson) forgot his name Micheal something?
Anyway, it was about the president of NY and his office, and one of his staff was gay too and it was such a fun show to watch, witty jokes, intelligent somehow and just hilarious at times.
what wasthe title, i think you know what i'm on about.

Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.

each to their own,
i regard the show is to be of a feminine catagory myself, but hey when you live with a girl it washes off on you sorta thin. im sure everyone could agree with that. you get more sensitive in situations.
aspecially when its got to do with your other half.
i love the show, i found it very... pathetic / funny in some ways. I just got angry myself about how Gays were portrayed.
But anyway, everyones happy.
Also as everyone yet knows, Jack is not gay in real life

Garham Norton is a cruelly funny Queen. And I think it is just co incidental that he seems more masculine, as does at times his humour, than the brick-brain generated scenes depicted in Will and Grace. But, I do have a minor point of criticism with men who speak exceptionally high and girly. It is not so much the sound but the suggestion of some people that it is a natural strangeness of tone rather than at all contrived. And if it is contrived then it isn't natural. A small bone to pick, and not one I would take any further than a light hearted discussion with a gay pal who was open to fielding a potentially insulting, but probaly not to an able minded fellow, question.
It matters not at all to me though the tone of voice used to deliver Comedy. Only the humour is important.
