It's all of TV now. You can't watch a series without half the cast being homosexual, and at least one interracial couple, the male being whyte, of course.I couldn't tell you the title of any network sitcom currently on air or any late night comedians these days. I used to love watching SNL, Letterman and was in tune with Cheers, Seinfeld, Wings, The Cosby Show, etc... Once the 2000s hit, it all went to ****.
It adds nothing to the story line, just a mandatory addition by the writers and producers of the show.
Admittedly and old man rant, but I'm not wrong.
