Even later, when Will and Grace was on, it was quite controversial for the Conservative Right.<BR/>Although I often criticize television for many programs (but certainly not all), the fact is that Hollywood and the industry often braves a way into controversial issues and moves discussions about race, gender and other topics onto the front pages.<BR/>They may be doing it for commercial value (if we talk about it, we watch the show, and then advertising dollars increase) or they may do it for the right reasons (opening a national debate).<BR/>But I suppose with the decline of television, and the rise of the Internet Entertainment (and its narrow audience focus), the days of the nation watching a weekly series and then talking about it the next day is almost over.<BR/>Take care<BR/>KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
