TV Show 1: Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, Season 1 (2007)

Starring: Will Matthews, Peter Paige, Alan Cumming, and Taylor Dooley
Directed by: Q Allam Brocka
Channel: Logo
Episodes: 6 22-minutes episodes

Netflix Summary: Meet Rick (voiced by Will Matthews) and Steve (Peter Paige), the happiest gay couple in the world, and their friends Dana (Taylor M. Dooley), Chuck (Alan Cumming) and Kirsten (Emily Brooke Hands) as they live the good life in West Lahunga Beach. Featuring animation inspired by classic toys, this hilarious and insightful series from Logo is based on the cult favorite short feature by Q. Allan Brocka.

My Summary: Follow the lives of two very different gay couples and one lesbian couple in a homosexual-friendly community.

Story: I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided to watch this. This is probably the most vulgar, dirty, politically incorrect, and disgusting cartoon I've ever seen and I loved every minute of it. This show doesn't take itself seriously and it gives a pretty realistic portrayal of a group of friends (minus the sinking ship, the talking cat, creepy fake sex change to get a baby, etc...) The main story arc of season one deals with the lesbian couple trying to get pregnant. This show keeps a consistent storyline, instead of restarting every episode with no mention back to previous events. The minor storylines for each episode are hilarious and it even has drama mixed into it sometimes. If you don't mind dirty jokes and vulgarity, this show is for you.

Characters: The characters are all ridiculously funny. They all take on a sort of homosexual stereotype. The main couple is Rick and Steve. Rick is the smart and girly one of the relationship while Steve is the manly dumb one. The other gay couple is Evan, a 19 years old drama queen with his sugar daddy, Chuck, who is 50 years old and HIV positive. The lesbian couple is Dana, the butch one who wears wife-beaters, and Kirsten, the very girly one. There is also a wide cast of supporting characters who are all hilarious in their own right including Condoleezza Ling, the girl who always ends up turning guys gay, and Pussy, the scheming talking cat of Rick and Steve.

Special Details: This is a stop motion animated sitcom. The fact that it's animated adds to how ridiculous things can get. The characters and scenery/props were made to look like LEGO toys or ones similar to that. Some episodes would also have random moments where characters would burst into song, adding to how amazing this show is.

Overall Rating: 10/10
Recommended if you like: South Park, Family Guy, homosexuality, anything on Adult Swim
