HBO Cancels "Looking"
-
I didn't think it was that great. I i only watched a couple episodes in the first season but I didn't like the writing. It seems like they were talking about nothing half the time. Idk.

Don't remember me of this

Love "Looking", because this series shows us the really and normal gay love in our lives. We all have faced the situation about looking the right person. So say to hear this bad news. Hope the movie can give us a happy ending.

That's sad, I really like the show. I hate HBO…
-
Im not really a big fan of US formats , i think the British Series runs are far better than umpteen US style seasons that usually jump the shark anyways ( QAF US vs the far superior UK original case in point)
its getting a movie tie up as a finale , but do we really need to see season after season of one show ??
-
:cry2: Damn, really like the show. I guess all tv shows have to end sometime..

Tell that to Letterman, Mad Men, The Simpsons, Breaking Bad, and Dr. Who– just for starters.
Yes, naked Tovey is always worth looking at, as someone else pointed out.
The show was VERY San Francisco, lots of local scenery and lots of realistic Life in the Castro. Was he original QAF as true a representative of the scene in Manchester? It took a while for the stories to develop from an initial multicharacter confusion, but there were a couple of older men-- including Scott Bacula from the old Quantum Leap and current NCIS New Orleans, among other popular and handsome actors. Story lines included rentboys, mass nudity on the Russian River, a POS player, non-whites, and a great big bear. Diversity!
There is an online petition to HBO asking them to air a third season. They are looking for 90,000 signatures and at this moment need fewer than 800 more, so it is entirely possible that someone from this site will hit the magic number if you sign in and pass the word.
Personally, I'm not a great believer in online petitions, but they do sometimes work, just like crowdfunding. It might even turn out that
Looking is still ahead of the curve. The original Star Trek did not last long before it got canceled, but a pre-Internet petition drive did score an additional season, followed– as well all know-- by movies and by years of sequels, the "sexybaldcaptain" of long-ago Usenet fame, and, inter alia, George Takei (taKAY not taKIE), the nearly ubiquitous gay activist. Fortunately, prime time science fiction got a second chance and perhaps this conspicuously gay series can have one as well. -

If you take one line out of my post and use it out of context yeah it looks like a snipe , however if you look at my post itself i clearly said "I " am not a fan of the season format , Dr Who stories are different in that they run by story arc which last for 4-6 episodes maximum. so in essence cant really be used as an analogy , ive never seen Letterman and don't know what it is , we don't have that show, to my knowledge in Australia. shows that have non continuation stories , as long as they keep fresh are not the issue that i stated , it is the shows that have a cannon theme that drag on and on are ones that "I" ( as in personally do not favour)
hope that clears things up .

Well it was a tad too serious for me - kinda like the 'L' word was.
Yeah QAF wasn't realistic - but it was fun to watch.

Is this worth catching up with now? I've seen S1 and found it interesting but haven't yet seen S2. Does it end in a satisfying way?

pornofan, thanks for posting the link to the petition. I have seen things happen with these online petitions so it could do something. Besides, they only do like 6 episodes a season.
