Queer as Folk

wildflower..welcome...and hope someone can assist you with it.

I saw the series when it was first on and loved it myself (yeah, those dancers are pretty hot to watch) and it was not long after I had to disintigrate my cable extras so, unfortunately...cant help you out with how long it lasted or if its still on or available anywhere.

Q as F is currently in hiatus. Its 10:00P.M. Sunday slot on Showtime is the slot now showing "The L Word". (also an excellent show).
If you have digital, you can see last seasons reruns on SHO too.

Tried that! I do have digital cable. They are not showing this series with their others with On Demand viewing. I wasn't crazy about The L Word. I noticed that a few of the ideas are exactly the same as Queer as Folk, like looking for a sperm donor, which Lindsay and Mel did.

The "Q as F" reruns are not part of SHO on Demand but are a scheduled program on SHO too (similar to SHO Family and SHO Women). Perhaps your digital package does not include the eight Showtime channels with your SHO order. If it does, it's on at 9:50 on Sundays.

CORRECTION: That should be 9:50 Mondays. They are currently showing season 3.

Q as F has been consistently on my VOD in Orange County (Time-Warner) but it is currently not being shown as they just traversed the repeat of the entire fourth season. I would imagine the link given above gives the date for the beginning of the 5th season. A ground breaking series for sure, imported from England as an American version.
It would be interesting to see the British version.

Has anyone seen the new AB FAB's on Oxygen? Patsy and Eddie are back with some great guest stars. Think the formula will warrant the resurection (they're other series they timidly began didn't seem to make it).

9:50, Sunday, I will be watching for that! Yeah, I do get at least seven different versions of HBO and Showtime. I have looked for Q as F on the Guide Channel. I haven't seen it! I don't get Warner. We have Insight in northern KY. It takes me a whole 15 to 20 minutes round trip to take my son to work in downtown Cincinnati, but they have Warner and we have Insight as cable providers with all different numbers for channels. Think the provider might make a difference? Probably not....

What is that show you are talking about? If it's good, please share!!!

Wildflower, I put a correction on my previous post which you no doubt missed. The correct scheduled time for Q. as F. on Showtime too is 9:50 Monday (not Sunday) and they are currently showing season 3.

Monday it is! Thanks much!! I guess that I'll be there staring at the TV. I don't have anything more important on the adgenda. lol!

"Absolutely Fabulous" The New Edisodes in on Oxygen Friday evenings. You'd have to check your local guide -- I've got it programmed in to record on my DMR and eventually onto a DVD. I don't have a seperate cable tuner to record off HBO but since they repeat their series episodes often and they are on VOD, I don't really need to (unless I wanted to make a DVD).

In my area, Q of F is on hiatus until the next season but they would likely begin traversing the entire series from season one if they begin showing it again until the new season, which is? I have yet to check up on that.

There was an item on the Q as F message board stating that an ad in the Advocate for season 3's DVDs cited April 18 as the start date for season 4.

Thanks again everyone for the info! I'll have to look for that show. I'm a new cable subscriber and missed out on the good stuff for a long time. Any channel and show suggestions that are worthy of mention, please do!

I have to ask, what kind of contraption do you have that you can actually get a DVD that works from recording a TV show? I got a DVD burner and it has been a grand disappointment. I have DVD Shrink, which puts a DVD you want to copy on your hard drive and compresses to fit on one disc. Then you pick it up to burn on Nero. It gets around copywrite problems completely. They wont play!

Movies, I learned the hard way, have legs. Since DVDs are a tad expensive, I want them on DVD-RW. That way when someone borrows it and I never see it again, all they have is a copy. I'm missing so many loaner movies you wouldn't believe it. Well, if you have teens, you would believe it. Sorry! This question belongs in the computer section!

Back to Q as F topic, I'm interested in input from people that like this show. What do you think of Michael's latest, Ben? Not crazy about this too perfect guy, even if he wasn't HIV+. I think he really blew it with the doc. What do you think about the evolution of Justin in the story? I think Justin has a lot going for him. He is even a good influence on Brian, which is almost impossible to sway. It's almost tempting to feel a little bad for Brian who is dealing with loss of youth at the old age of 30, but he is so arrogant that he does have a bit of it coming. Emmit and Ted having a relationship? Hmmm....interesting!

I'm probably at least a season or so behind you guys since what I saw was rentable. I noticed on the posted site scenes beyond what I saw. I left off with the season end of Ted and Emmit as a possible couple and Justin leaving Babylon with the very attractive and talented music major at college after getting a little tired of Brian's ways. Can't say I blame the guy!

Anyone want to talk about the show?

WildFlower, glad to see you joined. This site is much better than our old home huh? Sure are a lot more people...

I have never watched this show. Is this one of those reality shows?

You might say that considering how graphic they get with the gay sex -- especially Brian and Justin.

LOL! Nah - real sex NEVER goes so smoothly - nor are the participants so gorgeous!

There is an idealism at the core, to be sure. Even the gritty stuff has a glossy style.

Great to hear from you Rover!! No, this definitely isn't your type of show. I would suggest a barf bucket for you with Brian and Justin. They are completley hot gay guys and the sex is pretty graphic. No, you wouldn't live through it. It was a fast way of clearing my living room with my son and his friends though!! They almost died at some of these scenes with gay guys. I love it!

Brian and Justin are total hot guys. I love the bottled water thing Brian does. Take a drink and pours it over his head with jeans and no shirt. What cool!! That's Brian though, the hot guy that gets them all, at least once before he gets bored.

OK, I was definitely thinking of a diferent show. I was thinking of Quer eye for the straight guy.

Oh yeah..thatd be totally different..I dont think theres ever been more than sexual inuendos on QE

Hardly -- "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is on network TV (well, it started on NBC's Bravo cable channel but they pretty much honor the code of broadcast TV). The explicit gay sex will bowl a lot of people over and make some extremely squeamish, and that doesn't have to be just because it's two men doing it. The psychology of the response to a show like this is fascinating.
