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? Evelyn C. Leeper ...{ihnp4, houxm, hocsj}!ahuta!ecl
