My least favorite episode but I saw nothing to be offended about.

The idea that this episode was insulting to gay people is why people talk about being to PC. A bit like being offended by Wayans brothers.

I did see something like that with Sons of Anarchy but I don't feel like people build this show up. Most people who like it seem to be like me, I'll criticize the show while watching it but it's a fun watch. I mean a guy said he hated himself for watching this show, sounds pretty harsh.

My understanding is that you are right, a lot of people didn't want to be on TV because it was viewed as a downgrade from movies and it would be more realistic to have an easy time becoming a star then.

It's seems like people are so negative about this show, I had problems with it but it kind of reminds me of when a better than average restaurant gets crapped on because people think it's cool to do so.
