Very much this. And that extends to much of television, of course. We might say we hate cliched characters, but we so gobble them up. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:25 6
- cliches are an integral part of the storytelling toolbox. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 13:26 5
  - Yeah, I tend to agree. Pretty much all of the characters on Queer as Folk started out as cliches but then transended that as the series was developed. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:32 4
    - it's when you use them to avoid good storytelling, rather than make good storytelling, that they become a problem. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 13:51
    - I have to rewatch this - Brian Kinney is my screen saver at work - YUM -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 13:35
    - That at least had layers beyond the surface. Glee's characters are a joke. -- nm - MDH Nov 1, 13:34 1
      - Well it is on FOX. -- nm - Qale Nov 1, 13:40
