So if shit is hated just for having LGBT content, why was Six Feet Under one of the biggest successes in TV history? Even at its worst (Seasons 3 and 4), and even though it got even more gay as it went on, it remained ridiculously popular and remains a huge critical and popular favorite, and is generally regarded as one of the best series of all time.
Was the plot about the greatness of the LGBT community? I didn't think so.

Actually, kind of yes, in some respects. It was certainly about gay people being at least as good as the other shitty people in the series.

As for more obviously the greatness of the LGBT community, there would be Queer as Folk, which went five seasons, and while it might be somewhat reasonably accused of being homos for straight people, it certainly did nothing wrong as far as being openly promotional.
 
And while "sex sells", it's gonna fail if the costs of marketing the sex outweigh the money derived from pandering said sex, and this just looks like a simple economics issue, not some grievous slight against the LGBT community.

And with that in mind, the series was, to my understanding, basically nigh completely porn in all but name in no time flat, with what little plot that existed at the start an afterthought at best, in which case they should have just billed it as straight up LGBT porn.
Or at least label it as erotica. Out of curiosity, I checked out what else they had and there's also a "polysexual orgy" involving the gay guy, the tranny and two straight dudes.
 
But unfortunately into the later seasons they kind of 'changed' Rosewood's character and put the edge and heart issue on a halt so he could just have a fuck buddy and fun times and everyone was fucking somebody and it was boring to really watch. It did nothing for the plot. I could see why Fox would wanna drop it if each episode was costing so much to produce. Especially with better shows like Sleepy Hollows and Lucifer to produce too.

They canceled Rosewood because this season's ratings were awful. Sleepy Hollow also got canceled for the same reason.
 
The fact i'd never heard of this show until it made the "trending" list on my FB feed, due to the troonspazzing, would indicate it didn't exactly have wide appeal that a TV show, well, kinda NEEDS to justify itself? But why beat that dead horse any more? True progressivism in this day and age means you'll willfully run your company out of business before you'll make a profit from those white straight cis devils....

This is all very reminiscent of the boom and subsequent bust of online comics in the early 00s when the internet made it possible for anyone to publish without having to live under the thumb of soulless comic syndicates - only to find out most comics get rejected not for their politics, but because they suck.... and the fans attribute it to malicious forces setting them up to fail because the powers that be couldn't take the edginess, not that the author couldn't tell a joke to save his life.

The most funny has to be that the sole African guy can drive a bus real good. I'm not kidding, that's his superpower.

Considering how hard it is at work to find a guy who can drive a 5 speed manual in a vehicle over 5,000 GVW without endangering the public or himself.... I'm not willing to mock him just for that.

I think we can both agree though that in a show where other people have amazing firearms, hand-to-hand, burglarly, hacking and persuasion skills, being able to drive a bus built sometime during the Carter administration ceases to be a narratively compelling superpower.

And I'm not kidding when I say that's literally all he contributed for the majority of season 1. Maybe he got better in the second season, but I doubt it.

And the Indian is a doctor(lol).
 
saw both seasons a while back. i liked the show, it's concept is interesting, the acting isnt bad, a lot of sexual shit is pretty shoehorned in a bit too much though, but in spite of that, i still liked it, but i'm not gonna miss it too much because it got cancelled.
 
Ive always thought. The first matrix movie came out before the wachovski brothers became the wachovski sisters. The last two were the result of troons trying to insert everything about them into their work, ya know like troons do.

there was that goofy thing where the first movie had a character named Switch, who was going to be a man in the real world and female in the Matrix, but the studio thought it would be too confusing.

I'm sure 99% of the people who signed this petition are merely upset about "muh queers", and have no intention of actually watching the show
but if you want shows created by gay people with gay representation, you could do a lot better than these two.

'Cause petitions worked so well for Firefly.

The cancellation makes plenty of sense to me. I wouldn't want to look at these people for free let alone pay a monthly fee to do so.
 
What is a petition going to do? It's not going to make the budget any smaller. Netflix knows exactly how many people watched the show.
 
What needs more seasons is F is for Family, not this.
