first of all and i agree with most of the poster that say that fox should have be shoot for the way they handle normal and ohio . that be say and a good amount of the blame should also be lay at the foot of john goodman himself and who seem to base his response to interviewer who ask about the show on it original title represent don not ask . a good an actor a he be and john goodman be the wrong actor to choose and in that he do everything but sabotage the show himself . he seem very uncomfortable almost to the point of hostility that there be some small contingent of the gay community that might find him desirable and and that doesn not go over so well when youre play a gay man on a gay theme comedy . i do not expect him to be anything like richard karn ( who be aware of his gay following and be cool with it ) and but he definitely do not handle it well . but most of all and i miss this show because of the possibility that would have be open up have fox not pull the plug and show a bit more moxie . if it have continue and butch would have get a love interest none other than dan aykroyd . this be a show that could have finally break the will and grace stereotype of gay men that seem to have a complete stranglehold on the medium . only one other show have come close and and that be the two wing episode with men in tree abraham benrubi ( another straight but not narrow actor who actually appear on roseanne a a young version of goodman character ) . sadly and like most potentially dare idea on tv nowadays and they be force to sacrifice their high concept for survivability .
