I never liked Dh at all, it just seemed like a total rip off of American bEauty spliced with Sex in the City
The music, the warm directing style, the narrative, they should be suid

You should read the thread about who managed to shove his dick up his own ass and practice that for your statement - DH is playing two leagues ahead of Sex and the City, which was overdue when it finally quit and relieved us from an odd assortment of bad acting and even worse dialogues. American Beauty was overrated - just another midlife crisis film, once you take it apart and focus on its essentials.
Maybe DH has more truth in it than we might think - after all, it's REALLY the age-old question: "How much do you really want to know about your neighbors?"
Marc C surely knows how to titillate me when he has John's naked upper torso pressed against Gabrielle's cleavage-showing ample breasts, leaving to my imagination what is taking place with their lower torsos as they smother each other sucking face. And, yes, Bruce, his line up of attractive males appeals to both sexes. How many times have we seen Mike's lean, muscular chest sans clothing? The viewers, both male and female, are likely to get inflamed and want to reach out and touch his well-defined pecs, as he gives that self-confident smirk.
I am all straight and don't really think much about how good-looking other men are, but I admit that ladies might surely be pleasantly taken with the sight of James Denton's torso (I think I once read he was voted #11 on the list of the sexiest men alive).
Really, optically, DH has lush offers for both sexes, women as well as man. And even if you don't like the sight of naked (or semi-naked) bodies, there's still the decoration style, gardening ideas, architecture, cars etc. that you can find pleasant.
I think gays can relate with Gabrielle and Edie's sexual drives for a man's body and all of its assets, as well as Susan's passionate desire for it. She is almost beside herself at times wanting it so badly. Cherry knows how to keep viewers hanging on from episode to episode becoming more involved with his character's sexual lives.
He better should - his resumé is full of TV series classics, Golden Girls, Golden Palace and numerous scripts for other series. DH may be his masterpiece, though I think the idea is already a little old, before the series was launched by ABC, he honked the script and the general idea of it for ten years, always being turned down. But now the success of season one will be the measure being used to judge season two. I hope it works out for him.
