I watched Queer as Folk (the U.S. version) in its entirety, via Netflix, when I was pregnant with Stuart. Cullen tried to tolerate it. He really did. And it's not that he found the, well, near-constant gay sex scenes off-putting -- he just thought the whole show was beyond-the-pale-absurd. Which it is. (I should mention that the ridiculousness is heightened considerably when you're cycling through these über-dramatic storylines rapidly rather than having a week's break between episodes -- as we would have if watching them when they originally aired). So silly. So good.
Riget (The Kingdom)/Riget II
Please see this mini-series (and its sequel). Yes, it's Danish. Yes, the ever-divisive Lars Von Trier is behind it. Don't try to argue. You will love it -- I promise. Riget is almost as funny, disturbing and poignant as Twin Peaks, and has the same wry, somewhat detached sensibility. "Danskjävlar!"
Freaks and Geeks (John Francis Daley, Busy Philipps, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Samm Levine, Martin Starr, James Franco, and Linda Cardellini; plus Joe Flaherty, Becky Ann Baker, Dave "Gruber" Allen, etc.)
Best kiss? I'm drawing a blank. As Cullen can attest, any sort of "serious romance" angle in a program kind of makes me yawn. Am I a Jater or a Skater? Answer: no.
Hence my response to the next item ...
