Summary: GREAT show - not-so-great VHS packaging
Review: As many of us agree with, this show is EXCELLENT. I simply can't say enough about it.
Like many others, I waited and waited until they decided to put it out on VHS. I was very excited when I learned my wish had come true. It comes in a neat box-set with a closing door featuring beautiful pics of our favorite bois and girls. BUT...If you're expecting clear, crisp copies of all the episodes, you will be dissapointed. Only two of the six cassette box set are dubbed in the high-quality SP mode. The other 4 are in the low-quality SLP mode. So, technically, only 5 episodes out of 22 look really beautiful. All the others are the same as if you recorded them off of your own TV.
Like I said, this is a fabulous show no matter how you look at it, but it's just sort of dissappointing after the long wait to not have crisp versions of this great show. I know the DVD version will have the best quality, but Showtime should understand that not everyone has this technology yet!!!

Summary: Worthy watching series DVD
Review: This show is better than soap operas. That's...it's more real. The issues are real. But the humor is a catcher too. I can't stomach Sex in the City...I can't stand the complaining, the story doesn't feel real. Queer as Folk though is heart-touching, almost true to life for today but not for the uneasy with it's "no holds bar" scenes. But the story line is awesome. I sit on the edge of my seat hoping Brian will finally be nice to Justin on a regualr basis. Hoping Michael will stay secure with himself and stick with David for the long haul. I just love it. A lot of people will be able to relate to issues that the series touches on. I've been hoping that Queer as Folk would come out on DVD and wishes do come true. I'd rather have this than Sopranos and I love Sopranos too.

Summary: One of the best written shows around
Review: This show I must admit at first horrified me! But as I continued to watch the following episodes I have to say the characters bring you in. I am a straight female and I was not quit sure what the heck to expect having many gay friends I've never looked at the sexual aspect of their life styles. The story lines are just fabulous and Sharon Gless is the best as Michael's mother. It's what we need today to have the love and understanding of what gays and lesbians go through as far as discrimination. The episode where Uncle Vic is picked up on some trumped up charges really makes you stop and realize that things are not fair and unjust. I love the characters, the story line and the writing is superb. This is a cutting edge production and should be recognized along with other well written shows. Two thumbs up!!!!

Summary: Groundbreaking entertainment!
Review: I guess I have spent a good chunk of my life trying to find something that really represented the world I know and the feelings I feel. I know. I know. There are the arguments of choice over birth in being gay, but I subscribe to the birth idea. I simply knew I liked boys by the time I was 5... long before I even knew about sex. With that said, I always felt that I was excluded by the entertainment industry. We always had weekly TV series that featured boy-girl relationships and mom-dad families. I was pretty hard pressed to use my imagination to find something I could see a little of myself or even my family in. Nevertheless, I persevered and somehow managed to do so time and again. Zip to the year 2000! Suddenly, along came last year's breakthrough hit, Showtime's "Queer As Folk". While the British version was quite a brilliant stroke of genius, the American version brought the story a little closer to home for me. Due to the number of episodes made, the directors were able to develop characters and relationships a little more over the course of the first season. We were able to witness the complexities of the Brian/Michael/David relationship as well as the difficulties of a young man named Justin as he "came out of the closet". At times I winced as I thought, "Jeez- people are going to see this and think all of this debauchery and superficiality is what gay men are all about!" True, it's not THE definitive view into gay life, but I can assure you that I am quite capable of matching these characters to the real life counterparts in my life. My mom, while not THE most comfortable with my pre-determined preference for men, watches this show every week and really gets excited about talking about the plot lines. It is, in short, entertainment. Plain and simple. Just be open to the story and you just might forget it's two men or two women jumping in the sack. After years of "Dallas", "Dynasty", "Knots Landing" and "Melrose Place", "we" finally get something we can latch on to and enjoy. It also gives the world the opportunity to see that we are really not unlike the heterosexual community. Again, I can't say that I have walked a similar path to ALL the characters on this series, though I know quite a few who have. It's bright. It's fresh. It's full of living... and THAT is life. I have yet to receive my DVD set, but knowing what the widescreen presentation of the show looks like- this is going to be on fantastic set! Also included are outtake reels, deleted scenes and the "Commentary Episodes" that aired at the end of the first run of season one. Even if you don't purchase this DVD set, at least watch the show and take a look for yourself. Even though a majority of the characters are gay... you might still see a bit of yourself in one of them. Who knows- you may get as hooked as my mom has! I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on this set. It's on order and I'm waiting for my late Christmas to show up at my doorstep!

Summary: Funny! Gay or straight you'll love it!
Review: All 22 episodes of the QAF series are finally avalible togerther and on DVD. Also the sconed session is coming soon. The series is about a group of gay men and lesbian's and there friends lives. At times it can be dramatic but overall it's funny and even a straight person like myself would love it. There are some sexuall parts but nothing like Sex And The city. Besides that it't really just seeing the lives of this peopele and sharing the sadness and fun of thier lives. A AWSOME SET!May be innipropriate for anyone under 14 or so. I hated gay but after watching this series I feel totally diffrent and treat them as equal as anyone else. Buy this awsome box set! You won't be sorry!
