Will and Grace is HILARIOUS! i spent all of saturday just watching it and even episodes id already seen a million times were funny. Jack is just so funny. I cant believe hes not gay! Lol. And will is kinda hot....But yeah, i agree, Karen is hilarious. i love her relationship with Jack, and her constant of payouts of Grace

Grace: "I said meditation room Karen, not medication room."
Karen: "Wel, you say potato..."

Karen: "Grace has got more talent in her little 12 year old boobs than you ever will!"

But does anyone notice that Will doesnt really seem gay? I mean besides from enforcing the gay stereotype of "oh i cant go out in the rain im wearing suede!", he never has a boyfriend, and rarely has any physical contact with guys. im not asking for queer as folk but....

but still it is a hilarious show.
and the simpsons comes in #2 only because the new episodes arent that funny. just REALLY wierd and random. what the?

Why isnt family guy on the list? funniest show ever!

P.S. Hello Oz! Welcome to Qnet. Is your user name Dorothy, national or Buffy related? 

interestingly none of the above! i mean, i did love buffy, but not so much oz, and the wizard of, well its a classic. love that one. and yeah, im an ozzie i guess. but its actually just a nickname ive been given, although it started off as ozzie, i like oz better, it has a cool ring to it.

anyway. yeah i agree with the fact that david was a bit decietful, but lets face it, it is a game. though that doesnt at all excuse it. its interesting that he chose to come out in the house - why do other gay guys just go in to the house and everyone knows they're gay? im curious if maybe the show's producers had anything to do with it because he says on the big bro website that "i'll have something to reveal" or something like that - it did give good ratings. anyway. how do people feel he has been treated in the house and in public? do people like him because he's nice or because he's gay i.e. 'oh the courageous gay guy coming out on national tv'?
also, i really like hapgood's point about them being forced to be celebrities for no other reason than the strength of their personalities, and then afterwards they try and hold on to celebrity status for as long as possible before disappearing into nothing. what were those two who got married called? jess and someone? there was a pretty pathetic tv special on the wedding...gross

ok... first of all, let me point out that i dont watch this show...normally. the idea of a bunch of random people in a house doing nothing but bitching and carrying on about nothing really doesnt appeal to me at all. that is until David. wow. i mean talk about HOT! So when he came out, i was like, wow, this could be interesting. first of all he is really hot and he seems like a really nice guy too (did i mention I have dark hair and eyes?) lol. but thats only part of it...a considerable part. but more interestingly i find the show interesting as a microcosm of society which the whole public has access to constantly. i know its not strictuly 'reality', but it does exemplify aspects of our society. like, for example, as soon as he came out it was like he was one of the girls. all of a sudden its assumed that he will fit in to the 'gay' stereotype; chatting with girls about boys. which he does do, but i cant help feeling that he's somewhat segregated from the guys....i suppose its natural, but he's not the stereotypical camp gay guy, hes more blokey, and yet there is this awkward division between him and the boys that exists whenever its just guys. this seems a parallel to our/my own state; while society holds up a pretence of total acceptance, and to a certain extent its true, due to the male-dominated society and the homophobia ingrained in these males, there continues to be a feeling of taboo towards homosexuality. i just find it interesting that this is so exemplified on tv; can such an example on mass-media possibly promote better understanding of the gay cause? Also, last night i think an intruder went in who was gay. now he seems the polar opposite of David; hes totally camp with the long hair, the earrings, and i guess hes a bit more stereotypical. i wonder what the effect is? I think maybe it is good because it represents the nature of gay society; yes there are the some-what effeminate guys who are totally out and proud, and then there are the more reserved ones like David. again awareness and understanding? How will both of them intereact with the other housemates and what effect will this have on the public's interpretation? Finally i wonder that perhaps making such a big deal of the gay thing, as in David being the "token gay guy" or whatever, is just creating a greater stigma for gay people in general, and not really a good thing at all.
im probably just ranting on about nothing, it will probably have no effect whatsoever, but its just interesting to think about

ps. Jamie AO...HOT!

hey guys and girls out there wats happening?
just registered...pretty happy, u know another step with coming to terms with who i am etc. but whatever. im 18. lived in canberra for 6 years. not quite 'out and proud' yet, but im not sure what im out and proud about yet...  but all i know is that its good to be open to anything. at the moment im into guys and girls, but the guys catch my eyes a little more right now, which is fun if confusing. anyway, i love anything arts, painting, drawing whatever, and also really into acting, kind of my thing. i enjoy the odd bit of writing. music, well im into most things actually, pop, hip-hop and dance are my top 3 at the moment, but chillout, house, and rock are constants. most of all i cant wait to get out into the big wide world...
so yeah, just thought id say g'day
