It was a very cordial, very professional, fruitful relationship.”  Fruitful?  When citing network standards and practices when rejecting the gay dating website, www.mancrunch.com, did the central network labor with them to define and re-define their message and vet the dialogue?  Of course they didn’t, because that would be a “fruit” of a different color. I have been writing about CBS for months, and whether daytime or prime time, CBS network standards are a double standard.

Get your head out of your pocketbook and look at how well it would serve the story and your pocketbooks in other ways if you were bold!

And your final statement is so very true. Looking at the recent half played out Y&R moment this week with Rafe I think it’s safe to say it’s CBS with it’s finger on the button.

I have heard that Nuke "makes out all the time," and can only reason that Crystal Chappell's uber sexuality and her chemistry with Jessica Leccia has the network scared to death that straight women all across America will suddenly go gay, thereby leaving millions of men to do their own laundry and resulting in the dramatic decrease of detergent sales. I mean, Nuke doesn't do a thing for me, but Olivia Spencer would have me batting for the team if I weren't already. It seems to me the networks are on this issue much like Obama is on DADT: trailing far behind not only the times but also public opinion and will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the modern day.

It's no wonder so many tv/film makers are moving to the web in order to gain creative control over their work. It is a shame that the show has reached a point where it's so delicately guiding the audience that it is reducing the impact. Are the non-otaliaitis-afflicted viewers aware of what the issue is anymore? I really hope they scale things up a bit with the coming weeks. I want some kind of passion, even if it's only in the 'missing the one you love' way. I am, however, continually delighted with the issues GL is covering and just hope that we get to see some kind of consummation in the future. I'm not too familiar but don't CBS control ATWT too? Is GL therefore under the same jurisdiction? Surely if they're happy with Nuke kisses there must be a reason for holding back? Perhaps it's a trade-off: 10 chaste kisses for 1 good old fashioned snog? Or 1 liplock in exchange for 4 coming out to children stories. It seems strange to say: 'All I really want... is a kiss' when there is so much else being given. But then, that's what we've been trained to want, in every romantic movie and love story. That's the goal because it's such a beautiful gesture. Thank you for another very insightful article.
