Well that stinks. They should know better than to put a show like that on so early on a Friday night. Bad time slot.

Darn - I wonder if they'll put it back on or not? Sure would have liked to know how it worked out.

Noooooo!!! I can't believe it! I know it wasn't exactly high drama but they can't leave us dangling like that. My bet is it'll never return.

Ack! All 7 or so of us are so screwed! They should just email the results to us, there can't be that many who watched. Hee hee.

I am tired of TV shows breaking up with us and leaving us dangling and stranded with useless information!

I'm with you, Sanfran! It was really kind of fun trying to see how good our "gaydar" really is (not so good, apparently). The most positive thing I can see about this show is that it shows how gay people are just like anybody else (you can't judge a book by its cover?), although I was a little uncomfortable with the way the gay guys were kind of portrayed as the schemers and deceivers. There goes my Friday night guilty pleasure!

Babyjaxmom - Actually I think my enjoyment came from watching how Jackie's and the str8 guys' gaydar did NOT work more than to test my own gaydar for accuracy! I'm STILL laughing at them ALL thinking of Bradley's hairdryer as the defining axis of his sexuality! If that were true, you know there'd be a proposal for a constitutional amendment banning hair dryers in order to help bring morality back to America! LOL:-)

<fingers crossed that it really does come back in July>

Well, ABC did finally bring back and finishe The Family, which of course was a total hoot, unlike this show.. still since I was watching it, I am mildly annoyed that they removed it.

And, yeah, curious about the outcome.

Don't we already know that anyways? If we don't, then what a shame!

Julie, unfortunately there are still a lot of homophobes out there, but they probably weren't watching this show anyway. That's who I was thinking of.

And SFJoshfan, yeah, that too! Sometimes Jackie would say something so off the wall that I would just think, "Does that girl live in a cave?" She really seems to have led a sheltered life. It was really funny seeing her try to determine who was gay by whether they lightened their hair, used a blowdryer, etc. What a hoot!

Dang, dang doodle!

Granted, this show wasn't rocket science but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I certainly hope they really do let us see the ending this summer.

No doubt this show is being RE-EDITED!! We all talked about how lame it seemed and then we're surprised when it's pulled??

I LUV Madelane's idea! " All 7 or so of us are so screwed! They should just email the results to us, there can't be that many who watched. Hee hee. "

What I REALLY would love to know is...how many were straight, bi and gay to start with!

Babyjaxmom, they are moving Forever Eden to Friday at 9. That show is a guilty pleasure (well, maybe "pleasure" is too strong a word) if ever there was one.

hmmm......both MY TV guides still have this show listed for tomorrow.

Where are you guys? The USA or Canada? Maybe it is doing better up here.

Tivo says it has disappeared. Oh well. I guess it's back to Forever Eden. I can't decide which show is more embarrassing.

Okay Sunshine, I'm in Ontario so I'll check tomorrow night and keep me fingers crossed it's still on.

And thanks so much for the heads up on this! :-)
