Patrickgay17 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Ok I just started watching QAF and let me just say I love it. I know there's a lot of people out there who would like to see it cancled and just can't stand it but there's something I can't figure out. Why is there a new director for almost every episode? Why can't they stick with one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they stick with one? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey Patrick, You do know that the last episode is next weekend right? I have mixed feelings about QAF. My BF and I are religious about watching (heck, QAF is the reason we got Showtime), but the writing and story lines are a bit, predictable. We watch out of loyalty as well its nice to see gay programming. It's a bit over the top at times, but overall its a great thing (plus I have a thing for Justin). I hadn't realized that they switched directors a lot (I wish they would have changed out the writers more often), so I can't really answer your question. But with the last episode coming up, I'm getting a little sentimental about QAF and thought I'd post. Take Care, Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyNeedsTherapy Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I love QAF, but I've only seen up to season Three once I've paid off my overdraft I'm going to buy Season four, and then I shall have to wait patiently for five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I must be the worst little Gay boy in the world. Ive never, i repeat never seen the US QAF. Ive got the UK version on DVD, but think a little shopping on amazon is called for! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketcnj Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I have watched it all the episodes of QAF .It started around the same time as Six Feet Under and they both end this year. I will miss them both. IMHO, both of these series showed that Gay people are real flesh and bones people with lives, love, sex drives and issues just like everyone else. QAF just did it in a different way, at times, then 6 ft Under, which often showed the psychological issues that we can all face. It is interesting to note that Logo is sponsored by Showtime, which I am sure would not have been launched, but for the success of shows like QAF and the L word...so, sigh, I will miss QAF and what it achieved a lot. I feel all three shows are very groundbreaking and covered a lot of contemporary issues and were also fun to watch...and for the first time, there were Gay Guys actually playing Gay Guys as opposed to all str8 guys playing in Gay roles (well half the Guys in QAF are Gay and half are str8..but that was a huge step forward) It will be interesting to see what acting roles Peter Paige (Emmett), Randy Harris (Justin) and Robert Gant (Ben), whom are all Gay in real life, obtain after the show ends.

Rabble_Rouser Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 QAF has turned out better than I thought when the first season came out. I figured they wouldn't do the UK version justice. The Showcase\Showtime version is filmed in Toronto in the Gay Ghetto (Church Street). A bit a trivia for you... Sharon Gless (Debbie on QAF) has been trying for a couple of years to emigrate to Canada... even after having to work in Canada in the winter time. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 So, I love QAF!! I guess I am just a poor hopeful sap waiting for Brian to FINALLY tell Justin that he loves him with words , but I do have to give to him the fact that he does usually show it through his actions, except for the whole sleep with every guy breathing thing. Aside from that, I am glad that they have it on TV and I was even more glad to hear that some of the actors were straight, proving again that we all are just people, and that the message that gay people want to have the chance to live and love like everyone else is being portrayed. I am really sad that it will be ending, but thank goodness for DVD'S right? No, we can see it whenever we want. Viv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conner Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Here is the bio for the actor Harris Allan who plays Hunter, from the QAF website.

Warning: QAF Spoiler - Brian has finally professed his love to Justin, bought him a HUGE house out in the suburbs (the house has horse stables, a pool, and all the fixin's), is selling his loft, and Brian/Justin are having a committment ceremony.

NaperVic Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Vic with a C, The bearer of good tidings... No, I haven't seen those episodes yet, I don't have Cable TV... shocking I know, but thanks, it made my day to know that. I knew Brian had it in him, and so did Justin, otherwise he never would have waited around that long... no matter how unbelievably HOT Brian is. Vivian <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sigh, I hate to be the bearing of bad news spoilers.... The previews of the last episode seem to imply that it's possible that Brian and/or Justin will back out at the last minute, thus making for a crazy series finaly. I'll let you know what happens in the end after the episode runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrickgay17 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 I've only downloaded I mean bought season one it's pretty good and Justin is just fine. Hm Hm good.

Mark Arbour Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 So I watched the VH1 special on QAF and they concluded with their "who is straight or gay?" segment. Seems that the Brian and Ted, both consistently portrayed as "tops" are both straight. I'd almost find that cliche..have the straight guys be the butch tops....if Michael wasn't straight and Ben wasn't gay. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFriendlyFace Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 ***bump*** Sorry, but QAF is one of my all time favourite shows so I thought it might be fun to talk about it again! As I've frequently said I don't watch TV at all, but last year I downloaded all five seasons. I love them! I have to say that while the last episode wasn't really bad, I think I'd have preferred if they'd just ended the series after the 2nd to last episode. Any thoughts? -Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If found this a little hard to believe, Justin is one but I can't remember who the other was, anyone know? Peter Paige, who played Emmett. I thought the actor who played Michael was also gay, and several minor characters as well. I watched some of QAF, but it was while I was still in the closet. It was on at 10pm on a Monday night, so I would try to watch it while everyone else was in bed asleep. I saw most of series one (though not the first or last episodes) and some of the second series. I caught a couple of the third series episodes, but that was it. I really enjoyed it, and would like to see the whole thing, but it's not something I can sit down to watch with anyone else in my family so I doubt I'll buying the DVDs.

Hal Sparks who plays Michael, while completely adorable, is completely straight.... *sigh* Ah well. Michael is my favorite... But I've only seen one or two episodes. The Gays go to the clubs and party and do drugs while the lesbians stay at home with the baby? Now THERE'S an original thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
