I'm surprised no one has commented on the Showtime cable TV series BROTHERS
yet.  I watched part of the first episode and the "Christmas special" and find
myself wondering why in every homosexual couple I see on TV or in the movies,
at least one acts like the stereotypical limp-wrist.  You see it in CAGE AUX
FOLLES, and you see it here.  Am I just watching a non-representative sample or
what?

As far as BROTHERS goes, it seems that it is not so much a series about "two
brothers [who] confront their younger brother's homosexuality," as the same old
sitcom stuff.  Even SOAP, with all its faults, seemed more honest than this.

Comments?
