Rick & Steve: The New Gays on the Block

There have been plenty of cartoons that have given us gay characters: "Queer Duck"; "Sponge Bob Square Pants"; the teacher on "South Park"; Marge's lesbian sister on "The Simpsons" and other numerous characters in multiple gay themed episodes; we even have a questionably flamboyant baby on "Family Guy". But I don't think any are even as close to hitting true "gay humor" on the head like LOGO's new comedy "Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All The World".

Here's what the review from AfterElton.com had to say...

The eponymous Rick (voiced by Will Matthews) and Steve (voiced by Peter Paige) of the title live in "the gayest of gay ghettos," West Lahunga Beach — just one of the show's many double entendres. West Lahunga is the kind of place where lesbian and gay people are so common that they feel completely free to be themselves.

Rick is 30, brainy, Filipino-American, and a self-described insatiable bottom who keeps house for the couple in their modest bungalow. Proving the maxim that opposites attract (and occasionally that oil and water don't mix) Steve proves to be quite different from his significant other.

A 33-year-old gym bunny, Steve's hotness is widely acknowledged by all and, even though he isn't terribly bright, he still manages to make good money as a real estate agent. He's also a versatile top interested in three-ways, a topic of conversation that frequently comes up in a show that is refreshingly and unapologetically upfront about its characters' sexualities and desires.

Indeed, the creators of Rick & Steve operate under the principle of unapologetic frankness most of the time, not worrying what straight viewers might think of the show or that any of their characters will be taken as a representative of the entire gay community. It's a refreshing change that allows the creators to poke fun at elements of gay life without fear of being politically incorrect.
