Ryan Murphy Fox Drama ‘9-1-1’

I searched [italic]hard[/italic] for an existing thread but couldn't find one. You're welcome to link to it if you somehow manage to find it.

Kill all snakes!!

Omg Peter Krause aging so badly

Wow, an EMT show. How original.

Yeah, I’m a Ryan Murphy show fan but I can’t endure network cop shows and doctor shows and lawyer shows. This one will have to get amazing reviews for me to get on board.

Procedurals are a CBS thing. This will not end well for Fox

OP, thank you for searching before creating a thread

Krause looked kinda hot and beefy in his uniform.

But why is he in everything fuckin' thing? Dude has been in show after show since Six Feet Under. He has literally been in a TV show for 20 years. No breaks.

Yeah, Fox will cancel it.

OP, you were offended because of the suggestion they punch the snake? What a delicate snowflake you are.

This doesn’t seem like a typical Ryan Murphy production. Doesn’t he have enough to do?

R11 I was thinking the same thing. He already has tons of shows. Brad Falchuk is listed as co-creator so maybe he's more in charge. I don't see this show lasting more than one season. There are talented people in the cast, but procedural fans are already hooked on the CBS shows and Dick Wolf's Chicago shows on NBC.

[quote] using animal cruelty as a joke gets this an immediate no from me, unfortunately.

OP's 16 cats and 1 ferret had no immediate comment.

R13 Ha! I knew someone would make that joke soon enough. I hate, hate snakes but even so, I firmly believe you shouldn't use either animal abuse or animal cuteness to add dramatic weight in TV and movies. It's just a cheap trick that's discouraged in Screenwriting 101.

Also, it's just my gay self and my gay-ass parrot in my household. And that little bitch abuses [italic]me[/italic] all the time.

Good ratings for the first episode.

[quote]“9-1-1” built on its “X-Files” lead in at 9, drawing a 1.8 and 6.8 million viewers. That marks a 29 percent jump in the demo and a 30 percent jump in total viewers. “9-1-1” was also the top-rated show of the night and the higest-rated Wednesday premiere on Fox in over a year.

Why-the-dashes.

R16 The dashes are bothering me as well. I guess it would be difficult to promote the show if the title was written without them. Obvious solution: find a better title!

I had no idea that Peter Krause and Lauren Graham were together.

That is a nice match - I bet they would have had attractive children if they had procreated.

I liked the pilot. If it the ratings stay steady, it might last more than one season.

A premature baby survives being flushed down the toilet ? Please. And doing mouth to mouth on said baby? Eww. And it was still boring.

[quote] various branches of Los Angeles’ emergency response teams

meh. Jack Webb fished this pond. out. The most I can say is I'm more likely to someday accidentally tune into this then some random super-hero or doctor show.

I'd rather see a reboot of Rescue 911 hosted by Betty White.

I really enjoyed it. Peter Krause looks the best I’ve seen since the first season of Parenthood - the super short hair really helps. Angela is playing the same character she always plays. Aisha Hinds and Connie Britton were great. I think the young hothead will grow on me.

Yeah, I would love to see Angela play some ditzy airhead for a change instead of some angry sassy no nonsense character

In more interesting Ryan Murphy news:

American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy is thinking way past 2018. Murphy revealed during the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour in Pasadena on Friday that season eight of AHS will take place in the—wait for it—future.

“All I’ll say about it is I want to go to the future — still topical, but the future, which I’ve never done,” Murphy said, according to Entertainment Weekly.

This probably means it'll be years, maybe decades, after season 7's present-day setting in Trump's America—but it could be a look at the aftermath. And even though he's keeping quiet about other details, we do know what the season is not about: outer space, as Murphy confirmed.

The writers won't start working on the script until February, but the storyline has been approved by FX. “I pitched it to [FX chief] John Landgraf today right after his TCA panel, and he loved it, but he’s asked me not to say what it is,” Murphy said. “I told him, and he fell out of his chair with joy. I think people will like it; it’s different from what we’ve done before, but I always try and do the opposite of what I’ve done on that show.”

-----------------------

So Rosie goes berserk and murders Elroy?

Kent McCord needs to do a cameo.

Those uniforms are awfully tight 😀

Also cameos from Randy Mantooth and Kevin Tighe!

RYAN MURPHY "gets this an immediate no from me, unfortunately."

How many corny cries for attention by ugly people at female viewers do you need before you realize there's NO THERE, THERE?

^ huh?

Y’all are slipping and senile. Oliver Stark is the reason to watch this.

[quote]^ huh?

Ryan Murphy's shows suck! He has shitty taste and so do his fans!

Comprende?

Thanks for your valuable opinion. Don’t you have a few thousand Instagram Ho threads to obsess over?

Hggff

Big hit!

does this Ryan Murphy have a life?? He has 200 shows on air!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R36 And all of them turn to shit halfway into the season because he doesn't bother finishing them but just dumps it on the co-showrunner and moves on to the next project.

R35 Angela Bassett was live-tweeting the show and I saw quite a large portion of black Twitter tuned in because of that. But they mostly commented on the shock value, which I don't think is really sustainable in the long run.

Did you watch the show? Because the first episode featured more than “shock.”

But you clearly hate Ryan Murphy productions so it’s no surprise that you’d guess the content and assume that the show will fail.

R39 I created this thread and yes, I've seen the first episode and it's pretty thin. I've no doubt it will be hugely successful ratings-wise but that doesn't automatically mean quality television. You really ought to know that by now, Ryan.

Obviously it's cheaper and lazier for a Hollywood production company to just point the camera out the window and shoot a program in Los Angeles, but I also suspect another reason there have been SO MANY variations of this same show may be that giving such handjobs to the LAPD police and prosecutors helps the producers buy their way out of trouble when some underage extra makes accusations.

Having such friends has lately been very useful to Harvey.

TOILET BABY RULES!!!!!!

New episode tonight!

They should've named this show "Plane Crash South Tower" instead.

there are some eye candy on this show, i will watch it coz there is nothing to watch on tv right now. all shows are boring!

Bump

It's all hackneyed tropes so far. Experienced vet disgusted with carefree rookie, earnest cop, 911 operator with Alzheimer's mother. Blech.

Oliver Stark is bae

It's not pronounced "trow-ma counselor"

Oliver Starks’ biceps! 💪🏽

Buck is hot. Too bad RM and the writers didn't make him gay.

No comments about the gay character?

Everyone wants Buck

C'mon, he's named "Buck"? How many people do you know with that name other than in Ordinary People?

[quote] C'mon, he's named "Buck"? How many people do you know with that name other than in Ordinary People?

Bidi-bidi-bidi. I can only think of one.

Buck would never have become a firefighter.

I'm so far unimpressed. Seems like another cop/medical drama. I was hoping with it would be more Murphy than it appears to be. We'll see.

The uniforms are quite tight. I can't see running after a perp and tackling anyone dressed like that. Now sliding down a pole..

The 🎢 scene was great but the rest of the episode was bleh.

What was the platform shoe scene?

Ike swatted Tina (Bassett) with a shoe in their limo.

Bonafide Smash!

Second season ordered by Fox.

The Ryan Murphy Success Train rolls right on over his haters.

R55, I am/was related to a Buck, so that's another one.

Renewed.

New episode tonite!!!

Suck it, haters

TV's best drama about Connie Britton answering phones LOL!

Ryan Murphy's one of the worse things that's ever happened to scripted television.

R62 I hope you're 12, because an adult saying "haters" would just be unbelievably pathetic.

It's fascinating when folks use rating success as a measure of anything, given the lowest common denominator garbage that's popular on TV. And given that some really quality shows jut sank like a stone because mom and pop butt-scratcher didn't like it.

Buck is the hot muscled dudebro we crave

R68, then there are a fuck-ton of unbelievably pathetic posters on here and all across the internet.

I'll probably take a look at the show tonight. I don't have anything else to watch.

R67 No, Shonda Rhimes is much worse than Ryan Murphy.

For some reason I like this show more than Chicago Fire or PD shows.

I Really like this show. Peter Krause is officialy a daddy and Rockmund Dunbar is so sexy.

How come none of you bitches told me Doug Savant is in this week's episode? His character's name is "Matt," too!

This and Chicago Med are my semi guilty pleasures.

I’ve had a thing for Peter Krause since he made a guest appearance on Caroline In The City back in the 90s. I’d still fuck him senseless.

Does Connie Britton get to do anything other than sit there like Uhura with an earpiece?

Yes.

I once said that I'd watch Connie Britton read the phone book for an hour, but even I can't watch this shit.

They should've rebooted Rescue 911 instead.

It reminds me of Emergency 51.

I like it. Hate that idiot Buck, though. What a moron.

I’ll admit I enjoy it - the rescue operations are entertaining to watch. And Krause and the kid playing Buck are easy on the eyes.

Buck is the only reason I watch.

Everytime I see Peter Krause I scream "Daddy!"

If you haven't seen Peter Krause in "The Lost Room" it's well worth hunting down.

Narm Daddy!

Oliver Stark is boss!

OLIVER

What's Peter Krause's story?

OLIver Stark is hot to death 🔥

Buck needs a cute, gay younger brother named Conrad.

Buck would never have a ...oh, nevermind.

Peter Krause's character left me utterly cold... until his final scene last week. Omigod--tears!

Everybody wants Buck

Just call me Firehose ...

This show is TERRIBLE. Not just your conventional terrible, but atomic-level terrible.

I want the hot young priest to provide extra comfort to Peter Krause ‘s character.

R96 is off his meds. Angela Bassett has stepped out of her comfort zone to play a pissed off, tough-as-nails character and Connie Britton can answer a phone like no other. And how can it not be believable that someone who looks like Buck would want to nail someone who looks like Connie Britton? Throw in the everyday 911 stories they've been showing like funhouses blowing off cliffs and there is your Outstanding Drama Series for 2018.

Buck is bae

I’m sensing sarcasm in r98’s post, but what red blooded young American guy could resist Abby rocking her Mamma Mia inspired look?

Mmmm

This moronic histrionic tub of career-low-point bathos was already renewed?

R102 It got renewed after episode 2 or 3.

This show is so stupid...and I love every single minute of it. Fun, cheap thrills.

And I would blow Peter Krause until he had no semen left in his body.

It's a guilty pleasure for me. I laugh at the pairing of young hot Buck with shrively faced Abby. The lesbian paramedic's storyline is so bad that I love it.

NARM Daddy!

I hate what they've done to Mariette Hartley.

Is what Krause' characters blood have the same as that one woman whose blood has been used for decades and has proven invaluable and has been used for research for decades??

Are you talking about Henrietta Lacks (the one Oprah made the movie about). R108? It wasn't her blood that was remarkable, it's that she had tissue cells that survive and can be endlessly grown in the lab without dying off, which finally permitted in-depth testing of various drugs and treatments. Before her, scientists could keep samples alive long enough to complete testing.

I wanna blow the blond face-eating zombie.

His body was HAF, in the Full Moon WAF episode!

Yes, R109, that's who I meant.

Thank you for the info.

Is there any gay stuff in it?

Peter Krause has certainly NOT had any work done.

R112, there's only lesbian action.

Although in this past episode called "Full Moon (WAF)" there was a gay couple, and one of them had a tape worm that started crawling out of his ass because he ate too much sushi, and one of the paramedics had to pull it out of his butt.

It was really disgusting.

R114 That's disgusting!! But also great entertainment, I bet.

Tapeworms climbing out of a butt were funny- in 8th grade.

I think they were just taking it from a recent story in the news R116, where something like that really happened.

Basically the face-eating zombie guy and the tapeworm guy were both real people in the news, and the show made stories out of them.

They didn't just make it up.

r116 Entertainment doesn't necessarily mean "funny". People often enjoy watching something for its shock value.

The boyfriend of the tapeworm guy was on Firefly with Nathan Fillion and deplorable Adam Baldwin. He came out several years ago.

I am watching this but I absolutely hate the storyline of the 911 operator and young stud. cmon, she is so fug. it is too far fetched.

I actually think the show will eventually pair Britton and Krause's characters together.

I thought that I was the only one whose eyes rolled to the back of my head, with the Connie Britton and young stud character.

They are just so mis-matched, it's completely unbelieveable.

I can see if Murphy was trying to avoid the stereotype of pairing Krause and Britton, but still. She just doesn't match with the younger guy.

They should pair up Abby with the black paramedic. Now that would be hot!

[quote] I am watching this but I absolutely hate the storyline of the 911 operator and young stud. cmon, she is so fug. it is too far fetched.

Wow, that WTF episode was crazy.

I thought Connie Britton looked great during her Friday Night Lights days. But, she has already started to age badly. The pairing of her character with a young firefighter is dumb.

Is she aging badly or just aging?-- the premiere of Friday Night Lights was over ten years ago. At the time she would have been around 40 -- now she is around 50. Not that you cannot still look good at that age, but you are less likely going to be "hot" to attract the young stud.

Aside from the question of looks -- after all, the young stud could have a thing for older women -- there is no on-screen chemistry between the two actors. Britten brings an innate intelligence and emotional sensitivity to her role, which makes the pairing with a young, dumb stud all the more ridiculous. Meanwhile, she and Krause really connected in their brief scenes.

I watched the season finale earlier today and it was hilarious with Buck and Abby's weird relationship. I'm guessing next season they bring on the boyfriend Abby broke up with off screen.

I was surprised that John Hensley from Nip/Tuck was a guest star on the show. Didn't Hensley and Ryan Murphy have conflicts towards end of that show.

Connie Britton is leaving the show to do a show on Bravo. She's being replaced by Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Yes, R130, I shall be answering calls, not only from the people in need, but also from the people from the Great Beyond. Wait a Minute, I'm sensing a thirsty eldergay spirit. Hmm... It seems that I will have to talk Peter into screwing Oliver senseless on screen, before it can move on to the other side. Hmm... Challenging. I might have to talk to Brad and Ryan about a possible sexual healing scene type for Oliver when Connie depart.

[quote]Connie Britton is leaving the show to do a show on Bravo. She's being replaced by Jennifer Love Hewitt.

"9-1-1 what is your emergency?"

"Bad career choices"

I liked the first two or three episodes until the storylines got just too outrageous.

This is unite possibly the worst show on tv, with apologies to Alan Cumming’s Instinct.

Fuck...Jennifer Love Hewitt? Who did she blow THIS time?

Season 2 preview. Premieres September 23rd.

Who's the (white) cutie at 00:17? Does he feature prominently on the show? Are there any gay characters in this?

That guy at :17 must have not been in it much -- maybe only pilot? He's cute. Much cuter than the young hot guy star of it.

Gay characters: Hen, a lesbian, and her wife Angela Bassett's husband on the show is played by Rockmund Dunbar and he just came out to her after 15 or so years of marriage. They are trying to co-parent and get along, but she's obviously pissed and hurt.

Looking forward to Season 2! Sure the writing is bad but it’s entertaining as hell and Peter Krause is HOT.

Jennifer Love Hugetits? Ugh.

Wow the season premiere is great

I dug it too.

This week’s episode was great though I could have done without the cheesy “Heroes” montage at the end. I also kinda wish we had gotten a couple of Irwin Allen type death scenes!

This show continues to be the stupidst shit on TV. A major LA earthquake resolved in 12 hours!

It’s terrible.

R143/144 = Sarah Michelle Gellar

Must every shot of Peter Krause be of him with a knowing, proud smile shining approvingly at his team. Every scene must have stage directions that read [Nash exchanges knowing looks with ____ that says everything without words]

I expected them to stretch out the rivalry between Buck and the new guy for a few more episodes. 3 episodes in and their already making plans to raise the guy’s son together!

As husband and husband?

I think they will have Buck and the new guy be buddies for awhile and then a woman will come between them.

I thought I would hate Jennifer Love Hewitt but she’s actually quite good especially in the 911 scenes.

Buck is going to ask Eddie to marry him by the end of the season.

this takes place in Los Angeles and no Hispanic lead ??? Ridiculous.

It's like making a show about the South with no black actors.

What am I? Chopped liver?

Oh I'm sorry... Ryan Guzman is part of the cast ??

I like this cast.

Me too bro

So we're supposed to buy that the butch lesbian was a pharma rep brought in to seduce the doctors? This show just keeps getting more absurd.

And I love it!

I love this show too. It strikes the right balance between soapy drama, action and absurd situations Murphy is known for. I actually think its his best show on air right now. Angela Bassett is amazing. I miss Connie Brittons character and her exit was a little weird but they are making up for it now. J Love is a surprisingly suitable replacement. I liked the backstory episode about Hen.

R159, I've tried to watch this show and have the opposite reaction to your assessment. I don't find any of it plausible. What was with that absurd storyline for Hen, the black lesbian at the firehouse? All of a sudden she feels put upon by some cromagnum fire chief? No one is coming to her aid throughout the hour? ugh...

Angela Basset rocks on this show, bringing soul and gravitas to what would otherwise be an ultra cheesy program.

[quote]cromagnum

Stupid neanderthal.

This show is so beneath Bassett (just as it was Connie Britton, and is Peter Krause and Aisha Hinds) that I almost feel sorry for them -- until I realize they all probably make more money from this than anything else they've ever done. This retread of the 1970s-era "Emergency" series is not at all what I envisioned for any of these actors.

Some hot eye candy, even the extras

Oliver Stark is hot

Guilty pleasure.

Oliver

Ist there a gay storyline on this show? I just saw this video and it made me wonder.

I'm a few episodes behind. I was wondering if they were gonna pair up those two.

It’s in reruns until January, I believe.

Yes, the show has been playing up the bromance big time. So much that a woman recently commented to Buck what a lovely couple they were. But no actual gay storyline unfortunately.

A 10 pound bag of holiday episode clichés thrown into this one: Marine returning home, gets in a random truck/bus accident, assists the medics in saving a life, and they return the favor by driving him sirens blaring to his daughter’s Xmas pageant just in time to hear her sing “I’ll Be Home For Christmas”.

You forgot the fear of committment turning into a holiday proposal subplot, R171.

New episode last night, I dig this show. fun and lots of eye candy.

r173 Please alert us if/when there's any gay stuff.

Renewed for another season.

Yay more bank for Ryan Murphy

It's weird that a Ryan Murphy show doesn't have a prominent gay male storyline.

I fell asleep during last night's episode... did the Korean firefighter die from the stabbing he received? Is JLH's character in peril? Did she get stabbed as well?

They did an entire hour On the Asian firefighter. It was beautifully done. Emotional and inspiring.

They left all that for next week. He’s still lying on the ground bleeding out.

Wow, another great episode.

Glad Maddie is finally rid of that asshole.

Spinoff with Rob Lowe.

[quote]The new entry in the budding franchise is titled “9-1-1: Lone Star.” It follows a sophisticated New York cop (Lowe) who, along with his son, re-locates to Austin, Texas, and must try to balance saving those who are at their most vulnerable with solving the problems in his own life.

[quote]Sources say Lowe stands to make more than $200,000 per episode for his role on the show, which is slated to premiere during the 2019-2020 season. The series hails from “9-1-1” co-creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear.

That sounds fucking awful!

Why do people keep hiring him when he either leaves early or is brought into an existing show to bring it to a grinding halt?

Excuse me R183?

Will this show EVER have a gay storyline? Two of the characters scream gay yet they're not out yet, why?!

If it’s a spinoff, Lowe must appear in Monday’s season finale, because he hasn’t been on the show to this point.

It’s actually ridiculous for them to call this a spinoff. The plot sounds nothing like 9-1-1.

R185 Who knows. Ryan Murphy's usually really good with gay male storylines but looks like he dropped the ball here.

[quote]Will this show EVER have a gay storyline?

What am I, chopped liver?

That scene with JLH and all the people whose lives she saved was major eye rolling inducing.

Rob Lowe is the luckiest son of a bitch. He survived that video scandal over 30 years ago, and seems to jump from show to show. And now will make $200,000 an episode.

That's chump change.

Is Chim ever going to get a relationship? Are they scared to pair a white woman with an Asian man or what?

Thank god, the little crippled boy’s mother is out of the series. For that matter, the female reporter from last season that they were trying to fix Buck up with.

[quote]Y’all are slipping and senile. Oliver Stark is the reason to watch this

Why, R31? Does he play a burn victim? He won’t need prosthetics.

Who the hell was that woman with Buck?? I’ve never seen her before on the show. Unless I missed something?

Loved the comments on that dumb, vapid, worm-girl’s page about Buck and the other hot dude. He’s from El Paso!! 😬😬

Loved the ending!

The tsunami mini series has been awesome, and so have the ratings. You can tell they are working With a big budget because the set pieces look great, like a movie.

Heh, I just came across this funny Reddit thread on why this show is a must-see, and now this thread (that I created) is getting bumped again. It must be a sign from the universe and I think I might actually have to check it out now.

The kid who plays Eddie’s son is cute. I’ll admit I got misty eyed in a last 10 minutes.

And this has been the most likable Jennifer Love Hewitt has ever been. The weight gain has actually made her more relatable.

Jenny's fat now?!

Excluding football programming, 9-1-1 is currently the fourth most watch tv show.

Pleasantly plump, r198.

r200 Damn, she does look better like that.

[quote]The tsunami mini series has been awesome, and so have the ratings. You can tell they are working With a big budget because the set pieces look great, like a movie.

Still a schlocky show but yes, the effects were definitely impressive.

The son of Rob Lowe's character on the spin off will be into men.

Has that been confirmed or is it speculation?

I see no confirmation of that

Buck needs to fuck latino Daddy.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

R205 it's because of this tweet, who knows if he'll actually follow through. I hope so though because the actor in question is fucking hot

yeah I'm rooting for the firefighters from the current show to R206, of course that'll never happen though

LOL at the director for this latest episode basically admitting their goal is to gay bait the audience... unless they're setting up a future romance which I highly doubt

I don’t know, I’m kinda hoping they will go there.

It is a Ryan Murphy tv show, for fucks sake.

I've never gotten that Ryan Murphy writes very gay shows

I'm pretty sure one of the actors they hired for the spinoff is gay, just watch his Instagram stories. he's really hot too

Don't forget about Ronen Rubinstein... he pings

R214 oh yes, him too. I'm a little in love with that dude, he is fiiiiine

Still no gay characters?

R216 there's a gay guy and a lesbian couple in the main show, idk about the spinoff but that's not even airing yet

R217 Of course there's a lesbian couple... so typical. I'm assuming the gay guy gets no love life then?

Dear Peter Krause:

Please fuck me and don't stop until I pass out from exhaustion.

Thank you!

R218 I dont think so but I dont watch the show, I just follow some people on twitter who do cause I think the guys are hot... and how in the world is a lesbian couple "typical" lol

This week’s episode of 9-1-1 was just incredible tv. I ended up in tears.

Dude, this show keeps outdoing itself! This week’s episode was incredible.

Needs more Buddie scenes.

Athena weeping is a mood

I doubt they’ll do a gay story between two hot main characters. Whenever there’s gay male characters on network tv, they’re always presented as nerdy or they’re side characters, OR their personalities are only their sexuality. We’ve never gotten a gay storyline from masculine main characters on a broadcast TV show and something tells me this won’t be the one to shatter the rainbow glass ceiling.

Arguably, Empire’s Jamal was a masculine gay character, certainly some of his boyfriends were

there will be gay characters in the spinoff

r227 Fox tweeted that on their main? Fuck, that's hot. And I can't believe this show is getting a spinoff. Is this the next CSI phenomenon, I wonder?

I just started watching this show. It's good, don't get me wrong, but a couple of things annoy the hell out of me. First, I love Connie Britton but her character is the most annoying character I've ever seen on any tv show. Her character is just too perfect and nice and sweet. What are her flaws? Every other character is flawed and multi-dimensional except hers. Also, we are following a fire department, but where are the fires? At least on another tv show Station 19 we get to see them fight fires. I'm on episode 6 now, not one single fire so far. Station 19 has a mix of fires and other emergencies, I wish 911 had that too. Like, I get that only some emergencies are fires, but why not have both, like Station 19? It's just weird watching a fire department not put out one single fire.

I couldn't watch it after they had a live baby stuck in a pipe that small in the pilot. I lost it.

Is the guy who plays Buck gay? He has a gay tattoo.

What if the statement means that Buck and Eddie are NOT getting together, so the fangirls should stop hoping. but maybe that's not the whole story? What if they really do make Buck bi or gay? I've been watching and I actually do think they've been hinting at Buck's sexuality for a while now. Eddie? Nah, he seems straight. Buck on the other hand... he definitely has a crush on Eddie, even called him cute, lol. Anyways, I think either the writers will make Buck bi or gay, or he'll continue to be straight and they will continue to gaybait (most likely).

Peter Krause....verifcatia of sizemeat?

It pisses me off that this show keeps depicting lesbian kissing and sex, yet cut out the cute guys kissing from that elderly gay couple throwback episode. Why is it so much more acceptable to see women kiss than men?

Lesbian sex??? What episode was that???

there wont be any gay romance in the main show since they put one in the spinoff

Connie Britton is coming back for an episode or two at the end of the season.

new trailer for the spinoff

I binged the show and I really want to like it, but they have a problem with gay characters. On the one hand we have a wonderful lesbian couple, who gets to kiss and be affectionate. On the other we have a gay recurring character, the ONLY character without a love life. Not only that but now he has a brain tumor so we might end up with yet another dead gay character, yay! Remember that montage of the gay elderly couple spending their lives together? Well... they showed everything EXCEPT a kiss. That part was cut out, of course. WHAT THE FUCK?! Why is a gay kiss not allowed on FOX? Oh and btw, I have a feeling they added a gay couple to the spin off because they knew killing off the only loveless/sexless gay character on 9-1-1 would create a backlash. This way they can say "we don't deserve the backlash because we have lesbians on 9-1-1 and gays on the spinoff", a spinoff that will probably end up getting cancelled, mind you. Again, this is a cheap cop out because they don't have the balls to actually treat the one gay character they have with respect, not to mention the pathetic depiction of Buck and Eddie who clearly have feelings for each other, but it will never happen because this show is terrified of showing gay affection.

How was the spin-off

R240 As horrible as could be expected.

Howard has a cute younger half-brother! Will he be the meat in a Buck/Eddie spitroast?

I've recently started watching and it's AWFULLY written, I seriously couldn't believe Ryan Murphy was attached to it at first (say what you want, but he's never even touched this particular brand of bad), and yet it's super fun to binge. Just mindless entertainment, I never found myself bored. Oliver Stark is great to look at, I hope he does a nude scene sometime soon (not in this obviously). It ain't Ibsen, but it's entertaining enough.

R243, it is both awful and entertaining therefore, IMHO, it's not awful at all.

I don't think the writers planned on Buck and Eddie -- even their couple name 'Buddy' is intimate -- having such a following.

I doubt either character is gay, but I haven't seen love like that since, well, Starsky & Hutch.

Oliver Stark talks about the Buck/Eddie romance.

Sounds like he's more than cool with it, which is nice to read.

I have watched a few clips of Buck/Eddie on youtube and I don't even watch the show. Are they gonna fuck?

Both Oliver Stark and Ryan Guzman (the hottie who plays Eddie) are on board with the Buddy stuff, pressed to make their characters gay, and are very active allies to the community. Ryan in particular has thrown us plenty a bone.

Fox is the thing standing in the way of major male characters on 9-1-1 being gay, never forget that. It's always the networks/channels/streaming services.

Looks like Michael's going to get lucky in an elevator. With a doctor, no less.

Love the show.

Bromance
