Wow – imagine if this kind of show hit free-to-air! It would be one huge leap in the history of Australian television. I think the show will go a long way in breaking down narrow-mindedness, stereotyping and labelling. We’re all human; and, whether one is “gay” or “straight”, we are all fundamentally the same. I sincerely hope this show makes it. Good luck to Kirk and the team!

Can’t wait to see this one hit the networks. There is no way this one can slip through the cracks. Good work.

If only for the debate on sexuality and, more importantly basic human rights, this show would stir in our communities, The Weekly G is worth putting on public TV. Considering the fuss made about a ‘gay kiss’ on a certain Channel 7 show, I expect a hard sell to the TV executives, though it’s about time our TV stations cast aside their so called ‘morality’ and reclaimed their rights to put on innovative TV. Surely Australians in their majority would prefer to see these ‘sick’ people on screen to others with Embarrassing Illnesses. Come on, how bad could it be!? Bring it on! Good luck to all involved in the show!

I’ve heard some inside goss on this, and if it makes free to air, which it should, i think the boundaries everyone has about who’s on what side of the fence, will show there is no fence at all. On free to air, Everyone will watch the show the first time, curiosity kills the cat, and when they see a neighbourhood with no fences and no indifference it won’t give anyone anything important to complain about. Lifestyle TV with real purpose… about bloody time! The only thing wrong with being on free to air, is it won’t fit in with the rest of the rubbish they show. Exceptions made for ABC and SBS of course.

Everyone I have spoken to is so excited about this show, I really hope one of the networks realise how groundbreaking this concept is, and how overdue!!
So great to see a program that is looking at breaking stereotypes by having a policy of inclusion, but in an entertaining way! If more shows were like this I doubt we’d be justified for calling the t.v an idiot box.
Good on you guys, and good luck!

What a great idea – come on networks – take a risk and put Australia on the international map by acting like grown ups and giving equal opportunities to everyone – who knows, where we lead the rest of the world may eventually follow!
