I remember watching the original series so much when I was young. It's just a silly but fun show. I guess I'm ok with never checking this one out. I mean, I thought we were past portraying gays and gay interactions in a negative light or as mere punchlines. Funny that a irreverent comedy cartoon like the Simpsons can sometimes do it better.

TV culture continues the trope of "gay" and "lesbian" characters either doing quintessentual straight people things or otherwise never having a good life. Obey the heteronormative ways or suffer.

Same. Reading this thread I guess it's good I stayed away from it (and will keep doing so). It might taint my memories of the original series otherwise.
