I was actually going to post this same question yesterday... beat me to it, NFS4.
Jonnyjack, Friends started with a lesbian. Well, she wasn't in the first episode, but it was mentioned. The whole Ross-Rachel relationship happened because Ross' wife turned out to be gay, which is why he was so bummed in the first episode. So, it's not, "Oh, all the shows today have lesbians", it's, "All the shows today have lesbians, starting because of Friends like six(??) years ago". I can remember watching the first episode with family, and my parents were like, "OMG! I can't believe they have a show about a lesbian in prime time!!" And I was like, "This is so cool, I hope they show some action!". I swear, after Friends started (or started becoming so popular), that's when I started seeing more shows with lesbians in them.
Okay, back to the original post. I just watch it because of Amy Pietz(??) - you know - the chick from Caroline in the Skanky. She looked soooo good in those leather pants in the first episode.
