Web Watch admits that we watch a lot of TV. And frankly, we’re willing to watch practically anything that the networks and various cable channels decide to fill our TiVo automatically-recorded suggestions queue with.
Which is why we don’t understand what all the kerfuffle is that some have about the types of characters that TV anf film writers and producers decide to use on their scripted shows. Web Watch doesn’t care about the sexual orientation of the characters on the shows or films we watch – we just want what we’re watching to be good in the first place.
But apparently, some people do feel the need to point out these types of things to those who feel that they need to know.
So with that, Web Watch brings to you the following two lists: THE TOP 50 GAY CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME and the TOP 50 LESBIAN AND BISEXUAL CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME.
(Why these need to be two separate lists, we don’t know either. We also find it odd that Ellen DeGeneres’ character “Ellen” didn’t make the the top ten cut…)
