Back To Index Queer As Folk
 Barnes & Noble Based on the smash-hit U.K. series of the same name, Showtimes provocative and proud Queer as Folk follows the romantic trials and tribulations of five gay men and a lesbian couple in Pittsburgh, steaming and sexing up TV in a way that only premium cable channels can. In this complete first-season set, were introduced to the ensemble: Brian Kinney (Gale Harold) is a successful man who is always on the prowl, while Michael Novotny (Hal Sparks) is his more levelheaded best friend; Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison) is a 17-year-old boy whose life is changed when he is introduced to sex -- and what he thinks is love -- in the shows debut episode; Emmett Honeycutt (Peter Paige) is the most vocal one; Ted Schmidt (Scott Lowell) is an accountant with a taste for tragic romance; Debbie Novotny (Sharon Gless) is Michaels eccentric, supportive mother; and Dr. David Cameron (Chris Potter) is the dreamboat chiropractor who makes Michael forget all about Brian, at least for a while. Art teacher Lindsay Peterson (Thea Gill) and attorney Melanie Marcus (Michelle Clunie) are the loving lesbian couple who decide to have a child sired by Brian, not realizing exactly how complicated and entwined their lives will become. Developing story lines such as this keep viewers engrossed over the course of these 22 episodes, too, as these characters laugh and suffer together, tackling with maturity such hot-button issues as underage sex and AIDS. The title is derived from a British idiom that roughly translates, "people are strange," and its meant to suggest universality rather than an attribute of sexual orientation. Indeed, it represents a giant leap forward for American television, from tolerance to inclusion. Stuart GazzoNew York PostLike a gay Sex and the City, Showtimes very graphic new series Queer As Folk may leave you speechless.... It is very well acted, its got plot twists that rival the best soaps, and the writing improves with each episode.

Let me tell you, after one episode you will be hooked...at least i was! As a 17 year old, this has opened up my eyes to many this since i have started watching. I talk to my friends about queer as folk like i actually know the characters personally (i wish i did!) but serioulsy, if you are looking for something different, exciting, funny, dramatic...then Queer as Folk is the show for you...gay or straight, you will LOVE it!!!Also Recommended: Queer as folk!!A viewer Best Bang for Your BuckI was quite surprised when I first saw an episode of Queer As Folk (2nd season) at a friends house. It wasnt the sexuality of the characters that shocked me, but how honest and realistic the relationships between the very different people were. I recently watched a copy of the first season, and I found that at times I was hysterically laughing (and crying) during this incredible drama. I think that this series is more groundbreaking than the original creators had hoped it would be, and that whatever your sexual orientation may be, you can relate to what the people are going through. The acting is superb, something that weve seen rarely in a television drama. And the frenetic pace of the writing and the scenes is engaging.A viewer Simply the best...The cast, the writing, the camera work - all are simply amazing. If you havent gotten on board with Queer As Folk, buy this DVD set and join the fun. Whether you are gay or straight, you will be able to relate to these characters; Michael, Brian, Justin, Ted, Emmett, Melanie, Lindsay, Debbie, and even Uncle Vic are people that you know and love. Buy the DVD set, you wont be sorry. Interested in the song lyrics? - Check out themostlyrics.com! Looking For A DVD? - Check out dvd-a-rama.com! |
